I am a single grandmother of 7 grandchildren - my babies. They range from age 1 to 13. My family is the center of my life.

I live in the great state of Oklahoma. I transplanted here when I was around 30 years old. This is my home state. This is where I raised my children and where my grandchildren have been raised.

I was born in Illinois, the youngest of 3 children and the only girl - in fact my parent were each the youngest in their families. I was raised in a city on the shores of the mighty Mississippi. I dreamed of Huckleberry Finn adventures.

I also dreamed of someday seeing Pike’s Peak - and ended up living at the base of it for 4 years. Then back to Illinois, and finally the move to Oklahoma. In my Senior year in High School, I was in the musical Oklahoma at our school. I felt a kinship with this state.

I also work in the aviation world engrossed in the world of databases. I was introduced to the PC on a PC2 and have grown and learned since then. Due to several mentors at work, I learned alot about databases, and even some programing - very little.

Now I am nearing retirement. I decided to try some online stuff to get a supplemental income. Plus it gives me something to learn and to keep me busy (like I am not already). If it weren’t for that, I probably never would have been introduced to blogging.  This blog is to share some of the interesting places and things I run across during my adventures on the web, plus a little bit of a personal blog.

Life has had its ups and downs, but God was always there to help me. And He will be til the end. And from this comes my handle - Joyntheir - The Lord is my Joy. We are joint heirs with Christ.
