Think you're getting old? I have been a Great Gramma for over two years, now that's old. Glad to be old though, beats the alternative.

Lets just say my wife was a "Cougar" long before it was vogue, I was 19 and she was fixing to turn 32 when we got married. :mrgreen:

Love looking at your quilts, knowing they were done on a treadle. Learned to sew on a treadle; wished I had one yesterday when they were predicting loss of electricity and loads of ice on trees. Did not materialize; guess we're too close to Al border. So today, back to the 9 patches.

I had a hard time breaking the hand wheel habit. But I love my new machines; just long for a treadle once in a while. This quilt is beautiful; love the color combination and the pattern. King size=lots of work! Have fun.

DIL was concerned that we wouldn't approve. But my DH has 3 brothers who married women older and two of them were 20 yrs older. It runs in the family!! LOL I just said as long as she is good for you I don't care what the age is.

I flirted with her and kept pestering her until she finally agreed to go out with me.
She was the most beautiful woman that I had ever laid eyes upon and to this day I still feel the same. And after she got a hold of me I was not going to let her go, Daddy didn't raise no fool!!! :mrgreen: :lol:
We have been married for 25 going on 26 years, have two wonderful kids and are just as much in love as we were the day we said "I do".
My kids and their friends always laugh at us about how we act (sometimes I think we are worse than they are) and we are always having fun and joking around with each other. During our entire marriage we have never argued nor raised our voices to each other. They are always saying we are going to be the cute old couple that holds hands while walking in the park. And you know what, they are right.

Sounds like you definately met your soul mate! Nathan had to grow up fast when he met Jill. He had been staying with friends and had never had his own place so he had never taken responsibility for anyone but himself. He had to learn to consider the kids' needs but it didn't take long. I was very proud of him for becoming an instant dad and he has always been a hands on dad. But he would put the kids in timeout on their beds and then forget them! THey would be asleep when he went back to let them up. Ooops!
They have a good marriage with bumps along the way but they have a large family now. Jill's dad collects old cars and works on them. She is an afficianado of old cars too.But she and Nathan are into motorcycles more now. My DH used to be in a motorcycle gang when he was a teenager. He is disabled now but we have spent a lot of time looking in the cycle shops over the years!!
I am a mechanics daughter and a mechanic's wife. Glen can no longer work on cars due to his health but he still dreams of building a hot rod.
