Spend time with grandkids

My grandchildren, boy 10, girl 6

Both are very active, having taken swimming lessons, ride motorbikes, fishing, karate lessons.  Just being with them helps keep us young.

piano playing at Church

to keep up my chops, I perform at Southeast Baptist Church on most Sundays and Wednesdays.


I have been playing piano since age 5, and performed regularly at age 14-18 at Sacred Heart Church in Rockport.


I also started off accompanying my students with just one soloist, and built up to as many as 63 UIL solos and ensembles.
