Hello, I was on a good plan until being inside for 3 months so far. No CV-19 but have a husband with Parkinson's who is prone to falling and needs being waited on due to not being able to walk much without assistance. Keeps me really close to home and close to him. I'm even uneasy going to the mailbox these days. And if he…

Well, shoot! I have been inside for nearly 3 months and successfully gained 7 pounds! If it wasn't for drinking water, I would tape my mouth shut. I'm like a cute thing I saw on FB, " This quarantine has changed us into dogs. We roam the house looking for food, we are told "no" when we get too close to people, and we get…

Caledonia44, you can do this. I know, I'm 76 and will be 77 in June. One day at a time! Happy to see someone my age on this line of posts. Pat, in Flintstone, Georgia. Yes, it's a real place.

The rain has finally eased up here in north Georgia (for now, anyway) but there's still no sunshine. It's a good day to be at the loom. Here's an afghan that I was working on at the big loom.

Good morning, I just fed my Mockingbirds and Red-Bellied Woodpecker before doing two loads of laundry. I do more daily laundry now than when I had two babies in diapers. Goes with the territory tho'.

Poerava, I was about ready to throw in the towel, was so depressed and short tempered that everything was really getting to me until I read that book"No Saints Here" and discovered that I was experiencing the same things that every PD caregiver goes through. It gave me insight and a way of dealing with the demands, the…

bethe, hello to another weaver, etc. It's good to keep the crafts alive for the next generations. And it was so delightful to see hugs on my post of introduction. I am in the process of weaving on my Kromski Rigid Heddle loom, making dish towels. Nothing worse than a naked loom! Finished crocheting a possum for my…

Hello, My name is Pat and I am 76 years old, retired RN (not so much lately, husband has Parkinson's) and am determined that I outlive him so I can take care of him. I am a weaver who spins wool. I crochet, knit, tat, sew, all sorts of hand crafts that let me also be close by all day. That restricts me pretty much to the…

Hi, just joined tonight, am 76, and caregiver to my husband of 41years. I must take care of myself so I can take care of him. He has Parkinson's so me being active inside the house most all the time is a challenge. I want to lose 10 pounds as my first goal.
