I loved my husband very much and he was supportive of my quilting. Since he passed away I have been very satisfied at making my own way. I have a good income and I don't ask anyone for anything. I know what my budget is and I do as I please. As long as I don't break the law or hurt anyone then I think I have earned the right now that I'm 66 years old to have the things I want. I was in a very abusive marriage years ago and I vowed then that no man would ever mistreat me again and I have stuck by that. There is a way out of those situations and I hope none of you will ever let another person hurt you. That is a big problem that women and some men face. Quess I get pretty riled up over this subject but I'm a survivor and I WILL NEVER be in that situation again.

And got constant critisism for not looking like all the other wives in the neighbor hood. He left me for someone younger. someone said it is the type of home you grow up in and I grew up with my grand parents. Old school all the way. No nice just abuse. I decided after the second no more husbands. lol I buy what I want when I want. Although didn't do much of that while I was working or now with disability but I can't tell you how good it felt the first month after he left and I paid all the bills myself in my own apartment even though I had about $2 left over. LOL
Oh and I heard that the second might want to make nice now that he is old and alone. I laughed myself sick. He sure wouldn't want to know me now. NOW I would use the skillet.
