<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 114696, member: 78"]Hi Gila,</p><p> I used to do embroidery on the plane when I traveled. I have astigmatism so I was unable to read.

It was so strange talking to this blanket shrouded person that I forgot to do any sewing. Forgot to answer your question. When I retired I tried to keep my fingers nimble and my mind sharp.
