Ok folks, maybe I'm venting or maybe I'm looking at my mortality or whatever the case may be, I'd like your input or thoughts on this vexing thing I'm looking at. My husband and I will be selling our home and downsizing to a point. When we do, there will be enough money for a new home and toys. My new toy will be a longarm. That's been the plan, however, well meaning friends and family think I've gone off the deep end wanting a longarm. Comments have been, look at your age, will you be able to learn how to use it. Another one I've heard is "my friend got one and she never used it" on and on they go with why it is not a wise decision on my part. But a motorhome is ok, we have an old one, a boat is ok.
I am 73, through the years I've taught myself to quilt, I have a embroidery machine that I also learned how to use by myself, I've had 3 separate careers in my working life, tax accountant for the state, case worker for the state and a donor tissue specialist in the medical field. I really welcome your comments and I value your opinions. I feel better now.
