I'm Nan. My name is really Natalie but little children have never been able to say it so it came out "Nanny" and it stuck. Now there are so many Natalie's around that there isn't any problem any more. I am 85 years old, born in Eastern Oregon, lived most of my life in Portland. Married there and my husband worked for a very large company that transferred employees around the country. We were fortunate to have been able to move only once and it was to California. We love it here and although we planned to go back when we retired, it was too hard to make that adjustment. Now we have outlived all our relatives and friends both here and in Oregon so we are staying in our home forever.... we hope. I hope this AARP community gets going as I think it could be lots of fun.

Interests:

Interests?? Almost everything interests me except Rock Music and present-day movies. I like to sew, knit, crochet, anything in the way of crafts is interesting even though I don't do very much, and gardening. I do a lot of that almost year 'round. We have a pretty large vegetable garden. I think my greatest love... or obsession.. is my computer. Every day I turn it on for a few hours in the morning and again late at night. I correspond with several people in other time zones and we sometimes have trouble connecting. I'm having breakfast when some are getting lunch and we don't get to visit on the instant message as much as we would like. I also like to see the amazing things people do on "Instructibles.com" making things out of other things. That's about all I can think of to tell. I'm pretty much a stay-at-home these days. Our biggest event of the week is going to the grocery store.
