I retired in 2000 when I was 52 years old. I did go back to work full time then part time. I did start quilting just before I retired along with my other crafts. I ran a quilting business for 11 years with my husband and now I just quilt for me. I don't see where I had time to work. I am so busy doing retirement things. Just love being my own boss (and don't let husband know, his boss some times). In 2015 we moved from Missouri to Texas to be near grandkids. It was the best move we could do.
