My name is Nita and I am a 50 y/o grandmother of 3 beautiful children; a 13 y/o granddaughter, a 11 y/o grandson, and an 5 y/o old grandson. My daughters are 34 and 22. Yikes! Where did the years go?? I rescue wolves and have 4 of my own...my big ole furbabies. I've placed appx 30 wolves in wonderful forever homes. Hobbies include cooking/baking, reading, gardening, writing poetry and short stories, and collecting angels, lighthouses and teapots...just to name a few. One of my passions is doing my part to take care of our natural environment and one of my pet peeves...hmm...that's a tough one...ok, 2 of my pet peeves are people who litter and people who talk loudly on cell phones while eating in a restaurant or shopping in supermarkets (give us a break, folks...at least lower your voices!). I love trying new recipes and meeting people. I'm a real nature nut and adore animals, having had some very "unique" pets. I love camping, fishing and picnics. I lived in Texas for 25 yrs but have recently moved back to my hometown in Oklahoma to be near Mom. She's elderly and her health isn't good, so it was time. Through the grace of God Mom and I are now neighbors! It broke my heart to leave my two girls and their families on the coast in Texas although knowing I'm where I need to be at this time makes the transition easier. Am very much looking forward to making lots and lots of new friends here at Zaar!
