These are a few of my favorite things...❤️

Happy Friday morning all! 
Welcome and come inside for a visit.. It's a beautiful sunshiny morning here, it is supposed to be 70 degrees today!  Geez..... Make up your mind Mother Nature!  Is it Winter or Spring here in Oklahoma! Well, be that as it may... It's a beautiful day here and I for one plan on getting out for a bit and enjoy it!  For now, come on in and let's visit for awhile.  I was thinking since my blog is new and some of you know me from my Instagram and Pinterest, some of you don't. I figure we should get acquainted. Thought I would share a little bit about myself .. Sharing with you my dear friends, a few of my favorite things!  My love for my family is paramount.. My sweet hubs (the Man of My Dreams), my two amazing daughters and my sons in law, and my most treasured sweethearts.. My Grandlittles. Last but not least our four on the floor kids.. Our two Boston Terriers.  As I've "matured"  (ahem.. 51 last year.. Yipes when did that happen)? From a young wife of a handsome Air Force Staff Sargeant, to a mother of two adorable little blonde girlies, to mother in law to two amazing men , to Nanny of two of the cutest blessings anyone could ask for.  Now 31 years later my sweet hubs and I are empty nesters. And, speaking of nests.. I love to "feather" our little nest with Primitve decor... Ooo.. I just LOVE anything old!  Except my wrinkles! Hee.. Hee..!  I'm a crazed coffee drinker, love my frozen coffee concoction!  Thank you very much Starbucks!!  I also  was diagnosed with Lupus and four other auto immune diseases three years ago.  Lupus has definitely slowed me down, but it hasn't stopped me.  I just don't have as much energy or muscle strength to complete every project my hyperactive decorating brain thinks up.  I have had to learn to prioritize!  Not easy for a "can't sit still" kinda girl! Some days are good, some days not so good... But, like I always tell my daughters.... I try not to take it personal! As long as I can sit on floor and build with blocks with my Grandlittle Finnegan or sit on the deck at my youngest daughters beautiful country home and draw with sidewalk chalk with my Grandlittle AnnaSophia... I'm a happy girl!  However, if I can up off the floor or deck when I'm done playing...  THAT really makes me happy!!  Cooking is a huge part of my life, love to create and cook wonderful meals for my family.  I'm a Kitchen Aide "snob" my girls tell me! They're the hardest working appliances in our home! And, they certainly make my life easier!  I absolutely love Pinterest! On there every morning..I tell my hubs I think sometimes I need my family to do a "Pintervention"!! I'm a "craft fairaholic" my wonderful hubs carts me around to each and every one! What a trooper!!  Funny thing, I think I've rubbed off on my hubs after 31 years of marriage .. He now loves to peruse craft shows, antique shops, thrift stores and the like. Sometimes he finds things for our tiny prim home that I don't even see!!  Well, I've babbled on long enough during our visit today, hardly let you get a word in edgewise!  I'm so glad you stopped in to chat this morning. I love having visitors and our door is always open to family, friends, and strangers alike. "Enter as Strangers.. Leave as Friends" ,  love that saying.  Until next time...  ~ Nanny ~ ❤️

  1. It's always wonderful to learn more about you, Marge, even though I feel as if I've known you for a long time <3

  2. Let me share this on your lovely blog, A neighbor of mine developed dementia & diabetes, then her husband died, no children or family nearby. I am thankful our closest neighbor, an African American woman, introduced Dr Itua Herbal Medicine, A traditional herbal doctor in which we purchased a herbal product for her through his Dr Itua online herbs store. A former social worker stepped in and led the way to place the widow in a care facility. We visit nearly every week until she finishes drinking Dr Itua herbal medicines, if possible. The two of us take simple games, puzzles, and matching cards to do with her, staying about 2 hours. Jenga, Trouble, puzzles 100pcs or less, 20 cards to match (total-not 40!). The fishing game where the fish open and shut their mouths as they go around is lots of fun! We sit and chat with her until she gets well again, then we pull out a game and the three of us laugh together as we play. We take a variety of things to do so that we won't get bored. She finished Dr Itua herbal medicines and she's fine now and doing better with the help of Dr Itua herbal medicines, Dr Itua cures different illnesses with his herbal medicines. Anyone having a sick person should reach Dr Itua email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Dr Itua Cure Alzheimer's,Cancer,Parkinson,Hiv,Herpes,Hpv,Kidney disease,Diabetes,Hepatitis, We hug and hold hands a lot. Having two of us go together really helps. But I can go alone, my neighbor cannot, as she saw so much of this during her years as a social worker. I hope this specific list helps others in this situation.
    Thanks.
