I like that term. I think I'll use that from now on when people say, "What do you do?" because when I say, "I'm retired" they assume I do nothing. Taking care of a disabled husband, an 11 yr old daughter, a large house, quilting, painting, scrapbooking,
cooking, genealogy, rubber stamping, etc. Yep, that's nothing alright. Maybe now I can say, "I'm a professionally indulgent Quiltologist." My quilts may not be professional but my indulgence has been a life long study that's closs to perfection.
