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.”

    1. Yes, we sure do. We visited this lovely cemetery in Kentucky this weekend, and I was so moved by all the flags for veterans from so many conflicts starting with the Civil War. Made me tearful to think of all of their sacrifices.

    1. As the wife of a vet, I’ll never forget why we celebrate Memorial Day!
      And I’ll always be grateful for those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Thanks for stopping by, cupofjo, and commenting. You have a great Memorial Day as well.
