Housework or quilting?

As I was sewing some poly-clay embellishments on blocks at the guild
meeting the other day, some one asked where I got them. I told them I
had made them the night before. Response was "Is there anything you
_don't _do?" My immediate reply, "Housework."

Pati, in Phx. who has bumper stickers that read "Quilting (sewing)
forever! Housework, whenever."
and " I'd rather be quilting(sewing).

The scooters have too wide of a turning radius. I have been looking at a
Jazzy which has the tightest turning radius of all of them but it is too
wide. My house just wasn't built for handicapped people. I like my kitchen
because it is very small - I can stand in 1 spot and lean on something and
reach just about everything. But there is no way I can get a wheel chair in
there.

Would one of those electric scooters work? They look to be narrower
than a wheelchair. I think they're supposed to work with standard
doors.

Kathryn in Mi

I remember that story. She lived near Bakersfield, CA and her husband was
killed in an auto accident. She owned a hay farm. It don't matter who the
land belonged to - the family receiving the gift - that's what's important.
I remember one of the shows they did they paid off the mortgage. They do a
lot of good for a few people but I think they only do it for people who live
in or near where they do - mainly California.

They did an Extreme Makeover here in B'splat. Quite a touching story
behind it.and then come to find out the gal that they did the house for
didn't even own the land- it was her MIL's (Her DH had passed away). Even
had Clint Black here to do a concert---and money raised from it was to pay
the taxes....check written to the gal and NOT the MIL. Sure got quiet
about it, in our newspaper, all of a sudden.
Sure wouldn't hurt to try.......

Why not apply? You never know. They have to choose someone in need!

Last nights show was done in LA. It had a Mardi Gras Parade of all the
townsppl that would be helping. I didn't get to see the entire show--just
the very beginning. I usually don't watch it so I am no 'expert' on it
whatsoever...think last nights might have been the 3rd time..the other one
was where they helped this gal out and had a large screen TV put in for her
Sis? SIL? that was very nearsighted and they did do some work making a
hall/room(s)? wide enuf for a wheelchair..that's all I remember about it.
Sorry I can't be of much more help than that.
Butterfly (so go ahead and write them--it can't hurt)

I'd be so embarrassed. I couldn't ever do that. It was just nice to day
dream about.
