These are MARTHA quotes. The MARTHAs (Middle Aged, Really Terrific, Healthy and Attractive -- also from the Biblical story of Mary and Martha; we have taken Martha out of the kitchen!) are a group of women who provide, support, conversation, companionship, and love for one another in addition to food, cleaning and other duties to any member in need. I'm proud to be co-founder and to present you with our selection of quotes. For more information, send me e-mail (the address is on the home page).
