Occupation: retired teacher
Short Personal Description: I’m a retired teacher for children with learning disabilities, an artist and a writer. My family consists of two grown daughters. At least that’s what’s left of it. I had a mother and a father and a husband, as well as aunts, uncles and cousins. Most of them are gone now. I also have a few adopted ‘kids’ – a dog, some cats and some guinea pigs. (Well, naturally, I’ve had other adopted ‘kids’ who are now gone too).
That doesn’t mean that I’m lonely or bored though. I have some good friends I meet regularly and several interesting hobbies, as well as my writing and my arts and crafts.
I call my blog ‘The Nag Blog’ because as a mother and a teacher I’ve grown used to nagging. Don’t take it too literally though. I whine and yell a lot too. Joking aside, I am hoping to write about a few things I feel are wrong, but I will probably write as much about my hobbies and my outings with my clubs and societies.
