I too have a relationship with a senior lady I met when she was 88 years old. She's now 90 and has been teaching me the fine art of hand quilting. We get together 2-3 times per week, and are now working on quilts for donation.
It's also very interesting to listen to her talk about her 'younger' years and how things 'used' to be! As with my Mom, who is now gone, I will always treasure these times together!
