I'm looking forward to sharing experiences with everyone here. I am a widow and my 3 grandchildren are the lights of my life.
Welcome from South Louisiana. It seems that we have things in common. I love quilting and there are three light in my life also. Seven grandkids, two great grands, one DIL and 2 SILs come with the package. We all live within a 10 mile radius.

Oh, and did I mention that I have a newly retired DH !!

Thank you to everyone for making me feel so welcome! So many greetings came from states I've lived in because both my father when I was growing up, and my late husband during the course of his 20-yr Air Force career were transferred around the country frequently. I've lived in 9 states, several of them, 2 or 3 times. I had babies in Michigan and Louisiana. Gwin in WA state

Ah more commonalities -- where in Louisiana? And my godchild/nephew was in the Air Force for 16 years. He's now a priest serving in South Louisiana.
