Memories from long ago make me think of my current life’s success…
I received an unexpected message from my website the other day. I get messages every week or two. Some are spam and some are from people reaching out and trying to make sense of it all. Not many people comment on the blog entry itself. Most just send me a personal message one way or […]
Old friends on Memoiral Day–Dena Kleinsorge and friends
Jeanne Precup, Eudene Kleinsorge and Jean McKenna shared virgin margaritas on Memorial Day. It was very special. Jean is in a nursing home getting over a hip replacement, Mom is living at Heidi’s Chateau in Montrose and Jeanne’s husband, John, is at Horizon’s nursing home in Cedaredge. Jeanne and John are making plans to move […]
Birds, some of my favorite audiences…
I’ve spent the most wonderful day so far, playing music to the chorus of birds in my back yard. The feeder is about 10 feet from where I sit to play. From my playing for the critters on the hills behind our home in Kansas when I was young, to the sea lions I’ve played […]
The birth of “Reluctant Farewell to a Dear Heart”
With the help of my encouraging husband, Reluctant Farewell to a Dear Heart was finally published and will soon be up and running through Amazon and other sites. Most of the pieces in this book came rushing into my heart and fingers from January 2010 though April 2010. I had never been inspired in quite […]
Keep Grandma in her home…Dena Kleinsorge is living at home again—Written in September 2011
I have since had to accept that Mom can’t live with us anymore. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to decide. I visit with her on the phone every evening and we pray together. She always wants to come home and I wish I had the help and energy to do that for […]

If Daddy were alive, it would have been his birthday, too. But, it was just us celebrating Mom’s birthday and she and Daddy’s anniversary. If he were here, he would have been 94 and they would have been married 66 years. They got married on their birthdays and Daddy still forgot from time to time! […]
Scott Bennett was a precious person and musician…
Scott Bennett (holding the 12-string guitar in this picture) was one of the most intuitive and creative musicians that I’ve worked with. He played many bass and guitar parts and even some percussion on several of my CD projects. He was kind, gentle and expressive beyond expectation with is music. He didn’t wave his ego […]
What’s missing for our elder care is the same thing missing from today’s healthcare!
LOVE is the missing link! I’ve thought a lot about why Mother’s residency at Heidi’s hasn’t been a complete success. I researched all of the local homes, visited many, even had Mother in three different homes before settling on Heidi’s. The owner is approachable, agreeable with special needs and even seems to act with love […]
SPANISH music, a passion for a farm girl from Kansas? Who knew? Here’s an example…
Here’s one of the Spanish songs I just finished recording, Caballo Viejo There are ultimately THREE projects that I’m presently close to finishing, “Reluctant Farewell to a Dear Heart”, the collection of classical originals mixed between my versions of several traditional Spanish romantic songs that I sing on, and my originals that I sing and have […]
