I also read and watch TV. Much to my shame, I really enjoy reality TV shows like "The Bachelor" and "Survivor," and I also have an unholy passion for all things vampire. When not doing any of those things, I play with my three dogs and six cats as I love animals. In the past, I have raised and cared for horses - quarter horses and Thoroughbreds - geese, chickens, fish, birds, roosters, hamsters and once a pot-bellied pig." She also takes in strays whether they be four-legged or two, if they need help, she will provide it. She has five beautiful and talented daughters, five beautiful and talented granddaughters, and two horribly spoiled grandsons.Nancy believes that creation and all its beauty, grandeur and diversity is a direct reflection of God's majesty and power. One of her favorite quotes reflects this philosophy. It is: "There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice." John Calvin
