Welcome to NANNY'S PLACE

All of my friends and any new person who cares to peruse my web page can come in and relax. It is a "work in progress" and my first attempt at such an endeavor. But I have had a great deal of help in putting this together, so I cannot solely take credit for what you see here.

As with some women, I have had a fascination with horses and all their related species from a toddler age. I grew up around the magnificent animals and have owned a few during the years. So it will not surprise you to know I have an affinity for unicorns.



Unicorns satisfy my appreciation of the horse's physical attributes as well as the fantasy I indulge in from time to time. Over the centuries, man has bestowed upon the unicorn a many-faceted charisma. They stand for purity, truthfulness, tolerance, loyalty and bravery. They say if a unicorn but touches his horn to a body of water, it will become bereft of all toxins and poisons. Only a virgin pure of mind, heart and body can capture one of these mythical and mystical beasts. No wonder we don't ever see these magnificent creatures abroad anymore.

Almost as scarce is the aura of the American Indian. Foreign groups pushed these proud peoples from their native lands where they practiced a unique lifestyle very in tune with Mother Nature. Some of these tribes have even vanished from the land never to be seen again. A deep sorrow dwells in my heart because of this. But, like the unicorns, the Native Americans are proud entities who treasure God's gifts to the humans He created. There are many beautiful artifacts and legends to be shared and appreciated from these People if we only take the time.

So I try to go slower in the real world these days and stop, look and listen to what may be going on around me. I have a love of the influence the Native Americans have had on our own culture and try to bring it into my home. Also while I try to sort out the hassles of everyday life, I sometimes slip into one of the open valleys of my imagination. There I find the peaceful, powerful, magnificent unicorns keeping company with all manner of folks. They are all sizes, shapes and colors and live and share everything around them. Among the sun-drenched plateaus, I find children (fairy, human, other worldly) playing innocently and unafraid; their laughter like tiny bells to my ears. Here I can come and rest my weary soul and haggard heart under a towering oak whose branches reach to the heavens but also bend to the earth. A rich carpet of verdant green lays beneath me and flowers of every hue and scent are to be seen throughout.
