What do they do???? It's a big mystery to me. The days and evenings can be mighty long and boring with no hobby.
Me either....I can't be without something to do, I love quilting, gardening, embroidery and reading. I need a whole other lifetime to squash in all the things I want to achieve. People are often surprised I quilt....apparently I don't look like a quilter??? They are also surprised when they see how long it takes to do and wonder why I even bother....ah well...another of life's weirdosities (I don't even think that's a word, but you know what I mean!).
