"It has been especially exciting for several years to host a foreign CSC basketball player. I raise a garden most every year and this year I canned and froze blackeyed peas to satisfy my "Southern tongue. I've traveled all over Europe and to Brazil and the Caribbean. A highlight of my travels was the opportunity to travel with the CSC choir and perform in numerous places in England. The "loves of my life" are my grandchildren Amanda, Colby, and Trista who live in Chadron and Kenzie and Stone who live in Denver...and the feeling is reciprocal. It is nice to have someone who thinks you're wonderful and they fulfill that space... I read, raise roses, play the piano and go to movies for relaxation. Ask some of my students my favorite color and they will give you a resounding PURPLE with blue and pink a close second.
