Oh . . a lady after my heart. I am a healthcare consultant looking forward to retiring in 3-4 years so I can have more time to play with my 10-12 herding dogs, 11 sheep, plus a few horses and cats too. I travel a good bit and often look for parks where people walk their dogs just so I can get my dog fix while out of town. Most of my quilting is dog related. I find the quilt shops in all the towns I visit first thing. Adel
