i herd toddlers, in my "spare" time. i retired early, to take care of the hubster, who has parkinson's. and then, the middle and youngest daughters discovered that they were "expanding" their lives. middle one thought it was the start of menopause. youngest just thought it was about time! so, at the ripe old age of 65, i was chasing the equivalent of twins--they are 2 months apart. i started caring for "lady zed" when she was only two weeks old, and her cousin a couple of months after that. it's two years later, and i'm still chasing them, and juggling hubby's care in the midst. and i haven't finished a quilt in those two years. oops. but i'm having the time of my life with auden and zelda!
