    The big mens section is where you can get a nice wool jacket, turn it inside out and make a very nice coat for the little ones in the family. Smart Girl. By the way my grandma and her twin sister were born in Clinton Iowa. What I'm doing out here in the west is beyond me, but we moved here from St. Paul when I was nine. and now I'm a 67 year old great grandma and I'm not leaving my babies, even though I miss my cousins and my aunt. bye for now.

    I collect dolls, have about 600+ made some porcelain ones and now investing in Antiques or reproduction. love to dress them when I have the time, been too busy making quilts. Trying to finish a Teddy Bear Picnic Applique quilt. I am having trouble with the bears, they are too puffy so a friend suggested to make them like trapunto. Will do the other pieces BEFORE I stipple quilt the blocks. I am 58 and do not think I am too old especially when the eldest active member of my quilt group is 96 and she is a real card too.

    Glad to know about the new "middle age." That means I'm only slightly over-the-hill at 70, right?

    Hi Ardiegg! Welcome! What do you mean "old"? You are only as old as you feel. OK OK, sometimes I feel like maybe 102.

    I have a lot of members in my quilt group who are over 80 so we are only spring chickens compared to them.

    Love those good deals... I, too, am an avid shopper of yard sales and thrift stores.
