Latest News!



• 5/12/13 - I'm so behind! Added more concerts, another jewelry slideshow to add. And sad news, my other kitty, Chephren passed from kidney disease. After Khufu passed, a new kitty actually found me. So now it's Ramesses and me. I need to say a long overdue thank you to Lisa at Marchello's Restaurant for having my bird pictures up in the restaurant last year!

  I have also put up slideshows from the OWLS trips last year. Check the drop down menu.

Who Is This Kiki Person Anyway?

My name is Karen Smith and I personally still haven't figured this out. There are certain things most people know about me - my musical tastes of YES and Journey, rocks and crystals and my cats! And I have a real unique Dad - He's more than special. He's an Army Chosin Few survivor from the Korean War. That means a veteran from the battle of the Chosin Reservoir - Few, because so few survived. Dad and his Army buddies were in one of the worst battles of our time, yet have been overlooked for 50 years... Well, since my Dad is special, that makes me extra special - well.. at least my cats think so!
Here's a picture of dad and me - back then~
