Introduction
I’m a grandmother, mother, and wife well seasoned with decades of humdrum yuck smothered with pure joy. The stories, anecdotes, and photographs I plan to share are meant to brighten moods, spawn smiles, and convey Christian messages. There’s nothing more hilarious than a true experience, especially in hindsight! And there’s nothing more uplifting than a pleasing picture, particularly if it enhances a story. As a feel good bonus, blog topics will have a relevant Bible verse included.

Proverbs 15:30 NAB
“A cheerful glance brings joy to the heart; good news invigorates the bones.”

Hi Nancy. I’m totally in sync with your thoughts about humor. The funniest things to me are the everyday moments and ironies of life.
By the way, I’m intrigued to learn more about your time as a photographer. Ken Stabler was one of my all-time favorite players. Our son played high school and lower-level college ball and is now working his way up the ladder (offensive line and strength and conditioning) as a college football coach.
