nostalgic nana's photostream  

My name is Loretta, I live in Chandler, Arizona, and I'm a Daughter, Wife, Mother, Mother-in-law, Grandmother to a precious toddler and Animal-Lover. I taught school for 31 years, I retired 5 years ago, and I sub occasionally. I'm drawn to vintage things and I started a memory book about my childhood in Rockford, IL. I like to scrapbook and make cards although I'm not very creative so I tend to "borrow" ideas. I love my daily chats with God and I treasure my family. My mind often spirals back to fond, warm memories of growing up in a tight-knit Italian family that taught morals, responsibility, integrity, and compassion.
On weekends you will often find me at yard sales or estate sales trying to find the "deal of the day"!
