About Me

I am an elementary school teacher and a former R.N. I have been married to my wonderful hubby for almost 36 years. He just retired after being a mailman for the last 39 years. I plan to keep working for a while longer. We have 2 sons who are also in education. Their wives are, too!! (Needless to say we have a lot to talk about when we get together!!) We have 3 grandchildren, 2 of whom were born 4 weeks apart, almost to the hour. They are almost 2 years old. The other is a newborn! Of course they are the cutest and smartest babies in the world! It is really fun to see them together! We have lived in the same small midwestern community all of our lives and have had most of our same great neighbors for 30 years. Some may call ours a rather boring life, but I would not change a thing!!!

Interests:
Love to play on the computer, dabble in photography, cook, garden and lately do workouts with the Wii Fit.

Great word isn't it?  Safe, secure, familiar, comforting, warm, loving, friendly...

Shortly after birth,our newest grandson had to be airlifted to an area NICU. Lots of loving people work there whose skilled hands and tender hearts gave us great comfort. 

It was not home, however.  Being there was not normal, it was not what we had expected.  It was scary. 

But with God's mercy and the power of prayer,  our newest grandson is home.  He met his sister for the first time.  He met his puppy, too.   He is sleeping in his own bed, wearing his own precious liitle clothes. 

No strangers .  No very sick babies next door.  (God, please look over them.)  No alarms beeping.  No needles, tubes, blood drawing. 

Great word, isn't it?
