Do you know how to knit basic patterns but just can't seem to get motivated without a knitting buddy to talk with and share your knits and pearls? A local woman originally from South America with an interesting professional background at the IRS needs a buddy to knit with because she is legally blind.
Maybe you don't like to knit but love to shop, consider this octogenarian (86) who wants to get to the gym, TJ Maxx, Home Goods or other local stores.
These two women are an inspiration, exemplifying the can do attitude. What about you? Are you a can do person?
