I've always been outgoing and a socializer. Until I moved to the country and retired! It was lonely and depressing!!!! I finally started making totes and then quilts. Found this board and thru it, have met many friends - both online and in person. I'm much more willing to talk to the people in the quilt shops, too. Now I'm willling to go a week or so without visiting with neighbors....which is good because my neighbors can go for years without visiting!! Seriously, the closest neighbor hasn't visited anyone in the neighborhood for 2 yrs....her husband calls and visits...but they have secluded themselves!!!!
