I guess I would be classified as Old, and I am enjoying being old, but I truly miss having kids around.
I think kids keep us young. I always enjoy seeing kids when I am out shopping. Sometimes they are noisy but they are also so entertaining and cute.
As for a place to live and quilt, Southern California, near San Diego really has a nice climate. Most of central California is great too but can be hot in the summer. I live in the California desert, a true desert rat and I love it here. It is very hot in the summer, but I just stay indoors and sew.
