WOW - Isn't it wonderful how many careers are represented here, & we all come together because of the love of quilting. Whoever said quilting was 'dull', sure never really knew one.
In the 60's when I suddenly had to support 3 kids (before child support, welfare, food stamps, etc., etc.,) I was a 'change girl' in a Las Vegas casino for a short time before becoming a police woman, then deputy sheriff. Eventually got into administrative work & when I stopped working full time at age 70, I was the company presidents secretary. Then worked part time till 75 & now just enjoy all my grand kids, great grand kids & great-great grand kids. I am blessed.
