Another health issue could have been she had a mini-stroke in which she could still partially function.
imho
yes, I agree with you... I always try to look on the compassionate side when I am unsure of where a person is coming from. There but for the grace of God go I.
When I was reading the initial story I immediately thought there is a health issue going on here. I love to strike up conversations with other quilters and (speaking as a retired RN) this might have been one of those occasion to communicate with her to see if she was oriented to person, place and time. Intervention may have been warranted - especially if she was driving.
