Yes she is so cute, just goes to show you that age is just a word if we put our minds to work and want to do something you can do it. You should be very proud of you mother.

jljack...does your mom want to adopt another:))W/a quilting set up like that...I'm up for grabs!!:))LOL Now that I have cleared my eyes w/all the mom stories..sniffle...I do have some serious questions for you. That is the joy??And, how do you like the handles (or mom) like that? Do you think they would be better down??And, the one I saw seemed short and now I am thinking 'duh'...you are to sit-right?? And, if you had to get one all over...would you still pick up this frame??Thanks much...! Now, I am going to call my mom...I think she needs a quilting set up too...:))LOL Skeat

That picture is word a 1000 words. I would cherish it. My mom has been gone since 1988 seems like another life time. I tell people who have moms still enjoy every minute because you are so blessed.
