I have a wonderful sister but our interest are different. I love quilting and hand work, her not so much. She is very involved in her church and her family. We have a great time together when we are able to get together which isn't very often. I have a wonderful pen pal that I met on this board. We had both just lost our husbands and it's been wonderful having someone to write and vent to when I need to or just share the love of quilting and family that we have.
