Its amazing how long people live now and how well alot of them do. Last night on Martin Yin, he was in his homeland and at a place where the still do all hand embroidery, this guy is 87 and has been doing it since he was 16. He still doesn't need glasses, even to thread the needle. He had a lot of beautiful work including cutwork needle, which I only do by machine. In another town this lady was 85 and a pottery maker, she does it all day long with her grand daughter spinning the wheel while she makes the piece. She had the happiest smile on her face and Martin said she was like that all day long. I quite a while to go before I'm close thier age but would love to retire and do anything I want. I guess when you love your job its easy to keep at it. I just want to do all my hobbies and spend time with my grandkids and great grandkids. I'd be happy, oh yeah, and not have to worry about paying bills. The quilt is very pretty and happy to hear she bounced back after such an ordeal.
