Birth

Forty years ago I was pregnant.  Then I was a mother.  Thru ups and downs we’re both still here.

New stairs to gym

The Fines Creek Gym is more than eighty years old.  This summer the old broken concrete stairs were removed.  Photo from inside the gym.  Now they are replaced, thanks to sponsors.  The first step was sponsored by Donna Livengood, Gregg’s mom, in memory of his dad, Gale.

Disruption

Everyone has disruption in life.  After hearing Dr. Blasey Ford testify to her sexual assault, I realized I’d had something similar happen to me.  I had repressed it, and always thought that the bad behavior of some men was my fault.  

Disruption

Alonso Davis

In a summer session at the San Antonio Art Institute(now gone)  Alonso Davis challenged me.  Do you want to think of yourself as an artist, or a housewife?  Made me mad, so I painted Dogs of Hell.  After he set us up to paint a mural (on a barber shop wall)  I designed, helped paint, and finished the 10’x20′ mural, that stayed there for ten years.    I chose artist.  Thanks, Alonso Davis, west coast muralist.
