My dh and I are both 60. Are we supposed to feel OLD???

Okay, sometimes I do.
I would make it a large throw or twin-sized quilt, for sofa naps. I say this because my dh is constantly falling asleep on the sofa.

If he's uncomfortable about his age, I would not make a big deal of the number 60. Instead, try to help him see it as just a celebration of him (rather than his age).
