Best of luck to you. (It sounds to me like a shopping trip to stock your stash is in order.........)

Me too Joan! And I couldn't be happier! Did you teach Kindergarten? I did for 18 years and 12 years of Special Needs before that. In Newfoundland we can retire after 30 years of service. I was 49 when I retired!!

Congratulations inordyke! I bet you'll love it!

I've got so many quilt patterns in my mind that I don't know where to start. I've got a memorial quilt in process that I need to finish before starting anything else. Then, who knows???
