I’m Ronnie. I’m ok. I’m nice, and cute, kinda funny. I’m a nice lady, yea! I’m an artist all the way through. I paint a lot. I do a good job on it. I make Babydolls out of clay, because I know how to make them. Being an artist is smart, it’s pretty good. (At my station) records on the record machine. It plays real well. I like country music, and rock n’ roll and Elvis Presley. I’m 76 Because I’m older than they are. Indeed I am. Sometimes they call me grandma. It’s kinda funny, but they like me, they love me.
