1. I work in a factory that produces food as well as maintaining a few blogs that cater to my hobbies.
2. The name “Nana Bumblebee” came from my granddaughter who could not say our last name, so her mother tried to teach her to just say the letter “B”, she became confused and thought B meant “bee”. So, she named me Nina Bumblebee.  Nana Comes from our other grandchildren. Half of our grandchildren call me Nana, and the other half call me Nina.
3. Love to take pictures while out hiking just so I can look up the names of the plants when I get home.
4. My one high school regret was not participating in modern dance.
5. Chocolate is my biggest weakness. If you dangle a piece of premium chocolate in front of me, I will follow you anywhere.
6. I live in “up-north” Michigan.
7. Monday and Saturday are my favorite days of the week. Monday because we’re back to routine, and Saturday because there is no routine.
