When I signed up I didn't realize that my board name would really identify ME. I'm Elizabeth Ruth Stanford and born in 1947 so I used "erstan947". How dull is that.....I go by Ruth.
I only get Elizabeth if I'm in trouble with the IRS:):):)

When I signed up I thought this was just another internet site. That I would be anonymous (and I can be if I chose) but I have interacted with so many wonderful people that it would be quite boring if I did.
So when I signed up I didnt know any better and used my "internet" name Abby. That is a name I have used for over a decade when I was in computer lab in Middle school and was told to come up with a fake name to use on the internet.
The name Abby has become so me that if someone were to call me it in real life I would answer to it.
Everyone all over the internet knows me as Abby and for the most part I am okay with that, but I have discovered that as I get older the internet is not quite as spooky as it once was when I was younger lol.
So that is how I got the name Abby quilts!

Clem was my hubby's nickname for me from way back when we were in high school. I loved the Red Skelton character Clem Kadellehopper(?), and did a pretty good imitation of him saying",there goes a flock of them. We got married in 55.

The people I worked with about 12 years ago all started their families it seemed like at the same time. As it turned out the pharmacist I worked with calling me grammiepamie. She wanted me to start a daycare and take care of everyone's babies. Needless to say I retired 3 years ago without starting a daycare but the nickname stuck.

When we retired in 2001, we bought a farm in the small community of Dunster, BC, Canada. It was quite a move - from Southern California (San Diego) - and we had never lived on a farm before, but we absolutely loved it. We moved to Oregon in 2005, but I still miss Dunster, BC.
