Welcome!  I\u2019m Mandy and I\u2019m so glad you\u2019re here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m a Christian (not because of what I\u2019ve done but because of who He is).  I\u2019m a wife to Jerry Johnson (who is, by far, the better half).  We have been married for almost 32 years.  I have 2 (really 3) grown kids (they are either married or engaged).  Jerry and I are officially \u201cempty nesters\u201d.  AND\u2026.. we have the most beautiful grand daughter.  (She is the real VIP). Even though the nest is empty, this GRAND baby bird stays with me while her parents work so the nest is full of LIFE\u2764\ufe0f Oh, and we have two dachshunds and I also keep my \u201cgrand dachshund\u201d.  The nest gets really wild sometimes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of my \u201ccareer\u201d has been being a stay-at-home mom (now grandmother).  A lot of my \u201ccareer\u201d has been as an interior decorator.  I\u2019ve had a few jobs but my favorite jobs ALWAYS include working with the public!  I love people\u2026.. talking to people\u2026..listening to people\u2019s stories\u2026..watching people etc.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve always talked a lot! I over share. I put my foot in my mouth often. Sometimes I have to tell myself to \u201czip it\u201d (unfortunately, I remember to \u201czip it\u201d too late sometimes). Anyway, you can read more about me and why I started this blog in my first post, \u201cIt\u2019s a blog\u201d. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey!
