I live Up North to my Grandkids and everyone in Michigan goes Up North for the weekend it seems so I am Up North.

What we did before was about our photos.

Mine is my first name and part of my last name. Not very original. :)

Mine is so original...initials and house number...LOL
been here for 48 years, so knew I could remember the number..

My friends husband started calling me materialgrl. Fabric when I was growing up was material, so I got the name because I started collecting material. I love it.

Hoprig is the name of the old Scottish settlement 1/2 mile to the west. It was once one of the largest producing butter creameries in the state. The original settlers thought the railroad was going to come through here, but one railroad went 5 miles east and one went 7 miles west along the river. So Hoprig went by the way side. I used mom because all my son's friends know they can give me a call if they need a ride or get a rip sewed up or something else. I taught Family and Consumer science and high school special ed. I was the champion of all the students who needed extra help. Retired now and dog mother to 3 rescue dogs, a black lab, a walker coonhound and a toy mixed breed. I still help farm and I try to quilt.

I had a small craft shop in a craft shop. It was like a little 6x6' closet. I helped the owner of the little 1 bedroom house turned shop. My "closet" was called "Aunt Tessa's Treasure Closet". I had hat stands for different events and took orders. It was fun and kept me busy as if I wasn't busy enough. Worked in a salon with 3 Theresa. Had to decide how to differentiate. Since I was last hire in, I went with Tessa but we had 3 clients who were variations of the same. So I went with Tessagain. Went to use it as a user name but on couple email sites, Tessagain was taken so I dropped the upper case and came up with tessagin. it is a user on a couple other business sites. DH when he helps with setting up site profiles, he automatically asks, "tessagin?". Yep! oh and my grandmothers used to call me Tessy because Terry was a boy's name.

My husband's name is Jim and GEM is my initials. I am also his gem :)

I have worked in the pharmaceutical area for over 30 years, so my initials and pharm for pharmacy.

My name is Janice and all my grandchildren and great grand children call me Mamaw and husband Papaw but one little great granddaughter started calling me Grammy and my husband Poppie. So I'm Grammyj and he's Poppie Ray :)
