~ A Great Gift~

I got a great birthday gift with the help of a dear friend.

A new sewing machine. Isnt it great? I love it.. and

of course I have already sewn with it.. I am so pleased

to have it and have started to figure out a way to move

my kitchen around so I can make a nice sewing area.

As big as my kitchen is I would have lots of room.. I

have my chairs out there that match my table, and they

are just not any good and I think to repair them would

be too costly. So I think I will just get rid of them. They

are NOT safe to sit on at all..the glue has gone and they

are falling apart.. They have been bad for a long time..

and being in the basement for the past 2 years didn't

help them and made them worse..

When I was with David I had my table and chairs in the

kitchen and I knew which ones were not trustworthy

to sit on, some how David moved them around- when his

brother came over he gave the wrong one to Mark

to sit on.. It was ok for a while.. then all of a sudden we

hear this LOUD CRAAACCKKKKK.. and saw Mark hit

the floor, the chair had totally fallen apart.. We all

laughed, Mark didn't hurt himself and I told Mark

his brother gave him that chair deliberately so we

could watch him hit the floor :-) We all needed a

good laugh :-) he wasn't really pleased with that..

But it was funny :-)

I did that once my self.. not with these dining room

chairs though.. I was in my house in Elkhart and I

had these bucket chairs on coasters that rolled

around.. I had a huge fish tank in the kitchen, that

was by my chair.. I loved to sit there and watch the

fish.. I had all kinds, my favorites were the black

molleys, they had babies as often as guppies.. Which

was fun to watch.. well not when the big fish ate them

tho. :-(....


I was sitting there leaning to one side to see the far

side of the tank because one of the fish had babies

and I wanted to see where they were hiding and maybe

I could save some of them before they got eaten.. Well,

I'm leaning WAYYYYY over the arm of the chair.. I didn't

take the time to MOVE the chair closer.. Willie now, is

sitting in the living room watching TV.. The next thing I

know is I'm hitting the floor looking up at Willie.. He has

this look of total AWE on his face as he laughs at me

and says "WHAT the HELL are you DOING?" I laughed

and told him "Looking for fish". :-) I didn't break any

thing but I sure felt stupid.. :-) We both laughed... The

look on Willies face was priceless but he said the same

thing about the confused look on MINE!! :-)

Penny came today and we washed up some of the material

that was in the basement and some the smell didn't come

out.. but some, the smell is gone.. I'm pleased.. I already

have some quilt tops ready to put together from before

and I may work on them .. I am so pleased to be able to

sew again.. Time to post and eat lunch.. and SEW ! :-)

This GRATEFUL GORGEOUS WEEBLE says "g'day, g'day".

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and thanks !

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You", is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
