That's Life with Ann Ranlett

Ann Ranlett is an artist.  A SCRATCHBOARD artist.  What's that, you say?  Listen to today's show and find out!

Lois found Ann while researching a 'drawing' to be donated to the Friends of Art for their auction at the Yolo County Fair.  (Anyone know a local artist named "H. Friend" who was been making things in 1972?)  Once Lois figuring out this was not a drawing, but actually a scratchboard; she tried to find a gathering place of such folks to see if anyone know more about artist Friend.  Although she did find such a group, alas, no one knew that artist.

But during those communications, Lois discovered that Ann Ranlett lived in northern California and was willing to come and be interviewed!  Which brings us to this show.

That's 50 Years of Birding!

 

Former Davisite and long-time friend, Elizabeth Gould has been birding for 50 years

Today she shares her experiences -- where she went, what she saw, and how it felt to be there.  Lots of info and interesting chatter today. 

And if you want to SEE what these birds look like, keep an eye on BirdingWithLois.global and check out Elizabeth's appearance there in about March 2023.

That's Life for FitDeb

You might see a little vw bug around town with  "FitDeb" plates.  That's her!  FitDeb is Debbie Eernisse, who is known by her many students in Davis for helping us get and stay healthier.  Her exercise class -- Fit For Life -- was in the Senior Center for many years and is now online (using zoom).  She also does "Gentle Yoga" and "Stretch" weekly and also does one-to-one consult to help those who want a personalized fitness  plan.  More details at:  FitDebTraining.com

One busy lady!  In her personal time, she trains for and entered challenges in many fitness areas -- rowing, crewing, Iron Man competition, and others.  

We talked mostly about seniors getting better and staying fit into old age.  Do youknow what an occupational therapist does?  By the end of this show, you will.

Have fun listening and then GET MOVING!
