well, ladies i've enjoyed reading all your posts, and yall are just so busy it made me tired to read it. and i remember when i was like yall described, so busy with kids, grandkids etc but hang in there, everything will change for you some day as it did me. my kids grew up, grandkids grew up, husband died, even 2 great grandsons outgrew coming to stay with Gigi. I'm a barber so i work 4 days a week just because i want to, i have a room built onto my house just off my kitchen so i made my kitchen into a sewing room, funny huh? i dust my kitchen stove once a week or so. and if a customer comes in the shop, my dog barks to alert me. I sew in between haircuts or any other time i take a notion. ALL my time is MINE. I do whatever I want whenever I want and spend my money how I want. I cherish the good ole days but we all have to learn how to roll with the punches that life deals us. I also cherish this quilting board and all you wonderful ladies. There's a local quilt shop where I hang out a lot, wonderful people there in the quilting world I have grown to love. Lots of single old ladies I run around with. You can actually survive on hamburgers, pizza, and pot pies. I'm 72 now and still enjoying life - only in a different way than when i was young. so hang in there all you younger ladies with busy busy lives, it will all change someday.
