Am 72 and enjoying every minute of it. I would NOT trade places with the young ones today as I grew up in the very best of times (the 50s). We had so much to look forward to and so much to do and enjoy -- I honestly don't think todays kids have a clue. Started quilting when I was 70 but had always done sewing and crocheting. YES, I am an Old Lady and hope to be around (and quilting) for many years to come!
