EXCELLENT ideas ladies!!!!
Lots of hugs to you Rose......that feeling of the kids not needing good old Mom anymore is a big bummer for me too. We want them to grow up and be more independent and then when they do we wish for some of those hugs they used to need from us.I am busy with work and wish I had more time to do other things besides house work in between shifts but Volunteer work would be something I would look into one of these days in the future. Possibly at the Hospital. The gift shop would be nice. My Mom does that back east and she really enjoys it. I think that I would too.Remember that we are always here for you!!
Hugs and prayers,
matters
