Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.
HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT the senior citizens who took
The melody out of music,
The pride out of appearance,
The courtesy out of driving,
The romance out of love,
The commitment out of marriage,
The responsibility out of parenthood,
The togetherness out of the family,
The learning out of education,
The service out of patriotism,
The Golden Rule from rulers,
The nativity scene out of cities,
The civility out of behavior,
The refinement out of language,
The dedication out of employment,
The prudence out of spending,
The ambition out of achievement
or
God out of government and school.
And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerancefrom personal relationships and interactions with others!!
And, we do understand the meaning of patriotism,
and remember (and respect) those who have fought and died for our country.
Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand at attention with their hand over their hearts!
YES, I’M A SENIOR CITIZEN!
I’m the life of the party….. Even if it lasts until 8 p.m.
I’m very good at opening childproof caps….. With a hammer.
I’m awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.
I’m smiling all the time because I can’t hear a thing you’re saying.
I’m sure everything I can’t find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.
I’m wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that’s just my left leg.
I’m beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
Yes, I’m a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time of my life!
Now if I could only remember who sent this to me, I wouldn’t send it back to them, but I would send it to many more too!
Spread the laughter
Share the cheer
Let’s be happy
While we’re here.
And, MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA
AND MAY AMERICA BLESS GOD!!!

Go Green in November 2012
ReCycle The Executive Branch, and quite a bit of the Congress as well.
Whether you call the things we do with string, Needle CRAFTS or Needle ARTS, does not matter.
Those of us who love this business often think about the future in a world being warped by interesting changes.
As often happens, sometimes people I like can say it so much better than I.
Beth Mauro recently posted in her B.Line blog an article that is NOT really about Wal-Mart’s recent decision, except as a backdrop to a much larger issue:
Without the “grandmothers” how are we to ensure that we can keep the traditions alive to be enjoyed by future generations.
Like Beth, I believe the answer can be found in our independent retailers. The question is, what can we do to get the planning underway at all points in the industry, from Manufacturers and Designer to Retailer and of course, exiting the consumers to continue to craft.
