Hello I am Mary a retired nurse of three months getting back into my prework passions like quilting, reading, decorating and enjoying my eleven grandchildren and four great grandchildren and one on the way the last of May. All my greats call me GG. I am from Illinois and have been married 55 years and yes I was still working. God has blessed me with a wonderful family. We have some really serious problems through the years but with Gods help and strength have come through. I like reading and am thinkink of taking a class at local college to keep the old brain active. I am excited to meet a whole group of new friends through the quilting forum. wishing you all a good day
