My mind wanders too. My grandma on Mom's side hated sewing and only made one quilt, which I still have, double wedding ring. It had to be excruciating for her. I took after Dad's Mom who was quite crafty, fortunately.
Was interested in a WWII story about a test pilot, Eric Brown. Lived to be 97. Several documentaries on U tube, if you can sew and listen at the same time.
