Yolajean, what amazing treasures for your grandchildren! My Mom was a quite talented painter but didn’t like painting. She said it was enormously difficult and stressed her out. I think it’s because she could be such a perfectionist. We all treasure what she painted (some from when she was as young as 9 years old).

I learned to crochet but don’t want to do it anymore. I discovered my mind wanders, and I lose count regularly. I also learned CPR at work and was glad I never needed to use it. I did have to use the heimlich on my son once. I hope that never happens again. One of my numerous jobs in life was filing by check number. I was accurate, but started dreaming about numbers and woke up nauseous. I was so happy to be promoted to the mail department. I relearned algebra to help my son with homework. It made my head spin. Hmmmmmm, I seem to have an issue with things related to numbers.
