My Nana is going to be a big part of this blog. She is the funniest elderly person I know. I say elderly because I know Nana will be reading this and I can't help but poke fun and wait to hear her comical retort. She won't admit this, but she has a sense of humor that's truly admirable, especially at such an old age. (I promise Nana that's the last one.) In all seriousness, I really look up to my Nana and enjoy spending as much time as I can with her.
