Art Chowder: Sounds amazing! As you’re starting your second half of life, what do you think is important to keep you going to 120? GINGER:  I’ll just keep putting my hands to the clay. Being thankful for what I have is most important, finding humor when things are unexpected, and not being alone! Loneliness can bring on all kinds of health challenges. Sharing my passion in my studio brings people to me, so it’s perfect. Oh, and dancing! Dancing is VERY important to keep me going because it incorporates everything, including exercise. I recently went dancing with my granddaughter, at The House of Soul, where we danced all night. It was so good for my soul! Every now and again, I have had friends help me take the furniture out of my living room. We hang colorful lights, turn on music videos and have a dance party.  There is dancing in the studio too; I love to dance while I’m working in clay — JUST DANCE!
