Music makes life technicolor.

About Me

Mother of 5, grandmother of 5. Enough said. I was a child of the "sixties." Those were "my good old days." Back then we had no such things as cell phones, DVD players, MP3 players, etc.... We had record players, and huge clunky cassette recorders. We didn't go online to chat. We went to the neighbors house, or met friends in "real" time. We wrote letters using pens or fountain pens and sent them out via "snail mail" instead of email. Everything was simple back then. Now, I spend my retirement in amazement at the technological changes that have happened in my lifetime. Still going strong at 58 and tinkering with my laptop, my MP3 player, my digital camera and my cell phone and having fun in the process. I am trying to enjoy music other than the oldies. Always seeking peace of mind and tranquility, and trying hard not to take myself so seriously. If you want to know more about me, send a "friend" request and we'll take it from there.

My Blog

109 views of my blog, yet I have but 43 friends.

I am hiding in plain sight from people who were once upon a time on my "friends list." In the early days of my first account, life on myspace was beautiful, fun, thrilling and exciting. But as the mon...
