Places I've been

When I left home in 1954, I went to Nyack, New York, where I attended college at what was then named Missionary Training Institute and is now Nyack College. I married while still in college, completed my education, receiving my B. S., and my husband and I moved to where our address was Normalville, PA. We were living near the small village of Indian Head. From there we moved to Skulton, a village in Laurel Mountain, pretty much the top of the mountain, a very windy place. After that we went to Warrendale, near Pittsburgh, and from there to Cobbs Corners and in 1974, we moved to Corry where I still live in the house we bought when we moved here. Our children all were graduated from the Corry School System.

Work

• Corry Area Schools, elementary teacher - 1974 to 1991

More about me

I am Nancy.  

One of my hobbies is making Ukrainian Easter Eggs. This is done by using the wax resist technique, using a writing tool, bees wax, candle flame and chemical dyes. 

I am an artist and I'm a member of our local Artists' Guild.  We have an art show every spring.  I usually enter some of my pictures in the show each spring. 

This summer I am participating in the work at the Hospice Garden of Life just outside the entrance to our local hospital.  All summer long, I'll try to devote some time one day a week to deadheading, weeding, and watering there.  It's a beautiful memorial garden.  I also have flower beds of my own to take care of.

As with most families these days, my children aren't living here in my town. The closest is three hours away and furtherest is 12 hours away. Some families are much farther apart than this.  I'm grateful for e-mail and phone calls. Communication these days is so much better than it was when I was growing up.

Favorite Quotes

Actions speak louder than words, You judge others by yourself, Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and thanksgiving let your requests be made known until God, If you can believe all things are possible to him that believes, God is faithful who has promised.
