The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs: Deena Grzedek

Hello and Happy February 14 Eve.

No matter where you are in life, whether you're single, in a relationship, hoping to be in a relationship, dying to be in a relationship, or not caring at all, February 14 Eve is that one day where everyone thinks, "Oh boy. Time to indulge in an inferno of a lot of chocolate." To be honest, I don't know why I decided to use the word "Inferno." I just liked the big word, I suppose.

Well, to be honest. February 14 is an okay day for some and a horrible day for others. To all of the single people out there, I will tell you two things.

One: You will find someone, whether that is tomorrow, next week, next month, or even next year. It will happen. Just make it happen. Don't just sit and watch others make it happen. You gotta get in the grind as well.

Two: Chocolate is a lifesaver. It really is. It helps you forget your troubles, and it helps you remember the wonderful time in your life when you invested a great deal of $1 to buy a taco. That was the most glorious moment of your life I'm sure.

Well, never mind that.

Today, I am going to talk to you about Mrs. Deena Grzedek, the Grzedek's mother (The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs). Just ten fast facts about her, since we don't really know her that well.

1. Deena is the middle child. She has one older sister, Lisa, and one younger sister, Christine.
2. She has six nieces and nephews.
3. Deena was born in Kankakee, Illinois.
4. Deena Julie Grzedek (Johnson) was born on May 4, 1961.
5. She and her husband, John Grzedek, met at an Italian restaurant in Milwaukee when she was visiting her older sister.
6. Deena is of Irish, English, Scottish, and Polish descent. There is also some possible German.
7. When she was fourteen years old, her family moved out to Olathe, Kansas.
8. She went to college to study Creative Writing, Management, and Music. Management was her major, and Sociology and Creative Writing were her two minors.
9. Deena has always enjoyed writing, but she is not a published author, with the exception to college newspapers.
10. She learned how to speak Polish from her husband, who is 100% Polish.

Ladies and germs, Mrs. Grzedek.

Caleb, Adam, and Cameron decide to visit Galavanti Island, otherwise known as the Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs, and they visit Dacston, a T-Rex, Valpatic, a velociraptor, Jokie, a brachiosaurus, and Sammy, a stegosaurus.
