Thank you for your kind suggestions. One that particularly piqued my interest is the anti-fatigue mat. I've used one and it sure helped my back and feet.
She wears Crocs a lot but they aren't so great for this cold weather. I may go to a West Marine store to see if they have Crocs for cold climate.
In the past, I've given a "Day at the Spa," massage, and often pick up fabric and books at yard sales and bazars. (My mom sewed and I am perfectly at home in a milinery shop.) Please don't tell my fishing and hunting buddies.
I am going to our local quilt shop to look at the ALTO cutting system this morning.
We are terrified by the economy and what may happen soon. Perhaps this year there will be more gardening and canning than quilting for her, as bad as I hate to contemplate it.
Thanks and Merry Christmas to all.
