I like the flexibility of being able to pick up and go with her. But, she is so excited for it to start tomorrow, and she needs it to keep more busy!

I can't believe all your kids are in school now - it seems like you were just posting photos of skirts you'd made for your baby girl. I hope they're enjoying being back and that you're finding some satisfaction in having some time to yourself.

Who says there is really spare time, my four are now in their late 30's and 40's, grandkids came into the picture, grandma is into babsitting. I find we are busier now than ever before....who says retirement is boring? No way! I think you are a super whiz at making beautiful quilts, AmandaJean. Send some of your energy down my way, I'm older and slower, but I still love my quilting. Yes, the years go by fast, too quickly.
