Retirement Years (jobs, accomplishments, travel, etc.)

Since retiring, I have continued to work at my school as an accompanist for the new teacher. I work at two schools in another system with their "after school" program. I have a private piano studio and serve as organist for St. Catherine's Catholic Church and am choir accompanist for First Christian Church both of Pauls Valley. My husband is a retired minister. We are active in our church and Community Choir when possible. He is a brittle diabetic and his care in my highest priority. We live in the country where we have a cat, four dogs and a horse on five acres. I enjoy gardening and lawn care. We love to camp, travel and do crafts of all kinds. Traditional folk instruments are a special interest.
