Thank you all for your answers. I must remember that not everyone is retired. I should give thanks every day. I have been retired for about 8 years now (retired early but worked hard to get there) but that doesn't mean I get to sew & quilt whenever I want. Oh! for a perfect world.
To quote John Lennon," Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans". My other plans include quilting, embroidery & knitting as well as friends & family. The gym, walking & Weight Watchers must be part of life.
This forum is one of my great pleasure as well as the people on it. Happy Quilting all.
