Mama of this empty nest, I’m content to live a quiet, country life with my husband of 40+ years and to view gorgeous sunsets off our own back yard deck. Mama to three adults and Nana to adorable grandchildren, my empty nest fills up again with noise and laughter when they all return 'home'.
A former English teacher, reporter/editor, education director for a non-profit organization, and stay at home mom, I retired after a season of substitute teaching at a private academy. Now I enjoy time spent with my grandchildren and family and writing words that seem to pour out of my soul or wandering around the countryside with my camera.
Foremost, my faith sustains me as I meander through the empty nest stage of life. My favorite scripture is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

The city lights at night are lovely and, for me, only at a distiance. I don’t care for the city at all…I definately would pick country over city anyday of the week!!! =D

What a wonderful tree growing tall yet not so straight, clinging to the bank.

I noticed this tree while my husband and I were on a relaxing and refreshing picnic with our daughter and her fiance. I just had to take a picture of it on that beautiful day.
