Thanks to everyone who is responding to Jacqueline's questions. Her posts have reminded me so much of the original posts from Christina in OK. Both are intelligent women with a passion to learn to quilt and no one around to show them the basics. Just think how far Christina has come in the few years she has been posting here. Jacqueline will be stitching up a storm in no time at all. In both cases I want to drive over to their house and give them a few basic lessons.
Jacqueline, please keep asking and we will keep answering.
Susan you are welcome any time if you can put up with my DDAd and his memory loss. Actually I would love to have company but I am afraid that it would confuse him even more. I had a friend to come in this past weekend and I wanted her to stay at the house vs. a motel but I was afraid to do so and she was in the same agreement, that it probably wouldn't be good for him, but anyway you are still welcome to drop by.
I appreciate all everyone has done for me and will do for me in the future. I love you folks.

Jacqueline, in addition to our both being newbies here, I took care of my demented dad.... He died in 1999. That whole experience sure took a lot out of me.
Jean I am convinced that it was not an accident that we both showed up here about the same time. I took care of my mother for seven years prior to her death, I also took care of my grandmother and two cousins before they passed away and yes I use to hold a full time job, but became disabled and had to quit, being I was in the medical field this job just fell to me, funny I am the youngest but I am the caregiver too. So now I am taking care of dad, he can still get around but his memory is getting worse by the day. He can even still drive and does so much better than a lot of other people I have ridden with, he even owns a 4-wheeler and does sometimes go out on it, he is 84, but he loves the outdoors. I figure if he dies outdoors he will be happier than if he died in front of his computer. I do worry about him getting lost and not knowing his way home and he carries all three of us girls phone numbers in his billfold for that reason. Today we were late eating and he did not even realize we had not eaten, that is when it gets to be so sad but when he doesn't know who I am is when I will probably stroke and I know it will come some day.
Sorry to pour this out but it was just kind of bottled up.
My dad did that at the tender age of 53. 24 years ago, and I still miss him.
It could. I don't think I'll ever be one: I don't have the patience or the mind set. Looking after a small child was quite enough for me! Makes me more than grateful to those who do.
