Friends, You're The Flowers In My Garden

For You My Friends,

I appreciate you for a lot of things... But right now I want to thank you for supporting me and my "Peace Plight" even when I couldn't be with you! If it weren't for you telling me, "You can do it Kelly," many times I would have given up. I made the decision when I began to speak out for peace, that I would treat the promotion of peace with equal respect as if were my livelihood. But even with that commitment, it took your encouragement to see me through this. Gosh! Webmastering is hard! (Grin)! There have been times I've been certain an egg beater was used in my brain! I would have so miserable if I'd have given up... Thank you for saving me from that!

This is where it all is currently.

There are only a few pages left with graphics that need to be compressed. As soon as they are, I'll be uploading the pages to my new designated server. Then the hardest part... Recreating those pages on an editor that hates me! lol! That darned thing is really giving me grief. I have to enter pixel numbers to place images and I've just had the toughest time with that... But, I'll get it. It's just taking time. (As you know). It's a warm feeling that you've all stuck it out with me. :)

Good things are happening... The contacts are growing and people are starting to recognize me for my peace art. As that happens more sources come to me. All that, translates into MORE PROMOTION FOR PEACE! It's my life's greatest honor to be a part of the advancement for peace. And it's all you. You're the reason it all began. You're the reason each piece of art is created. You're the reason I can keep going. You.

Truly, you are the flowers in my garden of life.

And I thank you.




With peace and light and love,

Kelly Anne

Just A Memory

Sometimes it's fun to remember things
that once humiliated us. :)
This is a memory of something I
thought I'd never live down...
Now, I can laugh.

It was 1973 and I was 19. I was quite a fan of rock and roll... But, I had gotten my first job in radio as a DJ, for a country station, KUZZ Bakersfield. A Buck Owens owned station.
It was back when all the country songs had that twang... and the songs were about someone leaving, a broken truck or CB Radios. I love music, but... Let's just say that I wasn't "socially proud" of my job at that point. Anyway, I endured the teasing and was getting through it, UNTIL....
Christmas was nearing and I was to be in the Christmas parade that rolled down Chester Ave., the main street of Bakersfield for KUZZ Radio. It actually sounded kind of fun. So I went and got some new jeans, a jacket and some boots and showed up where and when I was told to be.
"Where do I stand?" I asked. The morning man said, "You're next me. You're in the saddle." Then, he pointed at what I expected to be a horse. But... This horse had 4 wheels. It had silver dollars all over the dashboard, big long horn antlers on the hood, a saddle sticking up out of the back seat and it MOOED when the horn was honked! Yep... I did it. I rode in the parade, in the saddle of the Buckmobile! I thought I'd never live it down! :)

I found a picture of it...
It's now the backdrop of a bar at The Crystal Palace.

And you thought I was always a Hippie. (Grin)!

It was a few years later... and not a
country station. :) My on-air name was
