Since I retired from my regular job, I have enjoyed being relatively inactive. When people asked what I was doing, I said, "I'm retired" (period). But a few months ago, my dh asked, "If you could do anything you wanted, what would you do?" I replied, that I liked what I was doing. Did I mention that a few months before my retirement he and I got married? I considered my being a blessing to him as my main assignment and still do. But that's another story.
His question kept coming to mind, and I was reminded that years ago I had really wanted to teach kids to sew but because of my other employment it wasn't possible. Why not do it now? It really fit with who I was... I liked to sew and I had been a teacher. So beginning last March, on the advice of my daughter, and with the help of her friend, I sent out a notice to a list of homeschool parents. In short order I had four students - my limit for one class- and they have been a delight.
