Great pic and love the positive attitude. I have a great friend, Mary, who is 96 and makes me look like a shirker. She walks everywhere (even tho she can drive still if a long distance is required). She gardens, sews, makes homemade gifts for people all the time and never forgets to send a card or visit a sick friend. She also has a great positive attitude and looks up age as only a number. May God bless us all this way.
I am retiring on the 31st and she is as excited for me as if it were her. She retired at the same time 30 years ago. May I be so amazing in my retirement as she is.

I don't and honestly I HATE it when others do. it's like your voice, it's how I recognize you, I may forget your name but I can look at your avatar and know if I "know" you or not. like BJ,
Patrice and I have never changed either.

Thank you ladies for all the compliments. I do believe that crafting, weather it be quilting, painting, sewing or whatever, does keep you young in spirit and body. Of course with a little help.
Happiness is doing something completly for yourself and this is what we do, when we craft. ...and happiness keeps you young and healthy... it's a large part of the whole.
I went out again today to shop a little but I just wanted to walk around and feel the spirit of Christmas. Finding a 50% sale plus another 30% if you opened a credit card at Macy's, was not bad either lol.
I always do that and then cancel the card after a few months.....
I had such a good time today, I might go again tomorrow lol.
