I have been a nurse for 21 years and a mom for longer than that! I love collecting recipes and was excited to find this site. I am a Granny and loving it. I have a six year old grand daughter from my oldest son and my daughter is having my second grandbaby in February. As a nurse, I have worked with Hospice, done Home Health. Worked in a critical care unit for the last 13 years and am now working in a cardiac cath lab. I love it. Just to update....my grandson was born Feb. 5th.
