Sometimes the most at the moment disasters have the most wonderful conclusions.......
Early in the week,while sewing with my 1968 Singer,I was finishing up a purse to sell. My Father strolls in & reminds me to think about what I'd like for my birthday.(in August) He wanders away,and I confess at that moment my minds' a blank,until from the guts of the Singer I start hearing a crunch,.....crunch.....SNAP! And everything stops. The machines broken,paralyzed.
I tell him we need to drop it off at the repair shop that raised it from the dead before,which we do. After hearing the hefty fee for a nylon gear,at my dads request,we start looking at new machines. And I wind up with a new Janome 2007le.
(Happy Birthday!)
It's beautiful-and finally with a rested day at home I feel ready to give her a test run.
Musically I need to pick up the mandolin. It's been a busy week. Between my work,appointments and errands,I feel like it's been one of those non stop weeks. The next 2 weeks won't be any different,except I may as well start sleeping over at my part time day job.
On a more personal note,an individual of interest had a conversation with me that answers several questions that I've had about him...without my asking. And I'm glad I never assumed anything because the truth was so far afield from any scenario I could've come up with it was unbelievable. But it made his dealings with me not only more understandable,but downright honorable.
I respect him and his choices,and time will tell what happens. In the meantime,all I can do is maintain an open mind and not get attached to outcomes.
