"Nana Belle"

I am very blessed to have 4 living grandparents.Most people my age don't have one, let alone 4 of them! We have a close family and thousands of holidays, birthdays and just plain old Sundays have always revolved around being with our family. One of the shining bright spots of our family is Nana Belle. She is my mom's mom. She is "80-ish" years old and she still works part time(so she doesn't get bored) she goes to the mall, she cooks like Paula Dean wishes she could(just ask steve and the 15lbs he has gained since we were married!!) and best of all she still plays with us. Whether it is crosswords, scrabble, cornhole or baseball, you can always have a pick up game with Nana Belle.I can only hope to be half the woman when I am half her age! Riley "Belle" has a big name to live up to!

Here she is playing baseball with my nephew Ben on Memorial Day. Nice pitch, Nana!



I wish everyone in the world had a Nana Belle. I'm sure glad we do!
