I am married to the same guy now for almost 48 years. We have a combined family of eight grown children who are all married and have given us a total of 20 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. I retired from Electrical, Instrumentation and Controls design, primarily in the Oil & Gas Industry, in 1998 and spent a couple years after that in business with one of my daughters doing mortgage document retrieval. I have been a lifelong seamstress and a quilter for many years as well as dabbling in watercolor painting the last five years. I am most passionate about fly-fishing our mountain streams here in Colorado which I started 35 years ago. I probably have one or two more summers that I can do that (sigh). I have reached the point where I feel I must liquidate all the equipment, fabric, tools, patterns and extras so I can spend more time with my family and napping, reading and playing with my new kittens.

I gave my original copy away when we "downsized" and moved to an apartment and now find I really need it to make gifts for my granddaughters, so I am buying it back again!
