I am really behind reading posts. Thanks so much for completing the Quilting Meme. I'm glad that you included explanations for your questions. Thats so cool that you have so many autographs. Are they on slips of paper, a book or fabric? I have an old little autograph book that I need to find so I can collect autographs. My lone autograph is on a piece of fabric.
I really like the idea of hiring out the cooking and cleaning responsibilities!
I forgot I was going to do a part three. I'l have to think of some questions.
