Welcome!

Hello, Blog-land.  This morning while cleaning house, I decided to start blogging publicly.  If you know me, please don't take offense to anything I may post here! 

In the past 54 years...

I grew up on a farm in Mississippi.  My father worked for a gas pipeline company 40 hours per week and also farmed his land to help provide for his family.  He and my mother have been married 59 years which is amazing.  They were blessed with me, my sister and two brothers!

At 18, I eloped with my childhood sweetheart who happened to be our neighbor.  We divorced two years later (because we were young and stupid to have gotten married in the first place) and then later I married Dale.  Dale and I had two boys, Jon and Greg.  Later, Dale and I divorced for reasons I won't explain here and I later married another guy who cheated on me, so I divorced him.  Dale came to his senses and we remarried 6 years ago which put my family back together again!  I know-it's exhausting just reading about it. :-)   Jon married Brenda this past November.  Brenda has 4 children from a previous marriage and is trying to add the 5th with Jon!  Greg has yet to marry, but has an almost 3 year old son who named me Nana.  I've found that I just love being called Nana, so that's how this blog got it's name.

I held a full-time job for 30+ years and only worked at two companies.  I was loyal to those two companies.  The first, I worked at for nearly 25 years.   I left the second firm to re-marry Dale and so far, I have not had to work outside the home in the past 6 years.  I probably would have if I was physically and mentally able to.  I suffer from fibromyalgia, severe depression and other things I won't discuss. 

Life has definitely been a trip - especially these past 6 years.  I may share some of our reality with you in later posts.  This one is just to give you a little background about me.

So, welcome to my world of ramblings.  I look forward to hearing from you too! 

Please note - any posts containing foul language or content will be deleted.  Help me keep this blog family friendly!

Till next time - Take care of yourself and be safe.
