Saturday August 15, 2009 No sewing machine

Hi,
This has been a real month for breaking sewing machines. First the Pfaff machine broke, so I got out an old Viking machine, it was doing fine and then it just stopped working. Feather weight next, it will not sew. So today on Saturday I have to go to Centeral Sewing in El Cajon with all the machines and see if they can fix one of them. I really do not want to buy a new machine, but after 10 years I guess I am forced to do that. The thing is I have the first Singer machine I ever got when I was in my 20's and it still works. It did not have any computer parts in it and it still works fine, 42 years later. I made prm dresses on that machine, I made cloths for my niece on that machine. I re covered chairs with that machine, made curtains, and hundreds of other things and it never broke.... these computer machines I think are programed to brake after so much use.

My sister told me to just sell all my fabric and go on a trip. That surely would save me alot of money, becuase without a machine, i would not spend money on fabric.
Paris is always nice at this time of year, the students are heading home for classes and things are settling down. I would get a friend to come stay in my home with my pets, and take care of them.
Well lots to think about.
I think i'll go to the beauty shop today and ponder what to do next.
Have a great day.

Monday august 3, 2009. 2 Miracles in one week end

This week end was extremely busy. It started with my friend calling me and telling me Doreens husbands, brothers brain cancer simply disappeared after some friends prayed over him. The New York doctors are spinning their heads. They do not know what to say. Jim, that is Doreens husband was called and told now would be a good time to come to New York if he wanted to see his brother again. Jim got there and some friends came to pray over the brother, the next morning the doctors did a "Final Brain scan", and the tumor was gone. No one can believe it..... The doctors showed jim the brain scans that they have been doing and there is the tumor bright as day, but the next morning after everyone prayed over him it is gone, the brain again looks healthy.

If that was not enough to kurl your socks, I have been trying for months to get a good used washing machine for a friend, who lives in Mexico. I see them all the time on Craig's list but never am I the first person to call. This week end I called on a nice looking washing machine, but as usual no luck, so I went about my Sunday. I was coming out of the store with cat food and the phone rang and it was the person I called about the washing machine. She said come get it.
When I got there they gave me a whole bunch of other stuff to send down to Mexico to the church. I AM BLESSED...Wait there is more. Well I guess I'll stop there for now.

Quilting..........I did not do a single bit of sewing this weekend. I was so busy.... Saturday was bust.

OH>>>>>>>>>>Wait. Did I tell you about the claw foot bathtub we fixed up in the garage...?
I do not have a deep bath tub in my home,..........only one of those shallow set in ones that is not like a bath tub at all. I had an old claw foot bath tub in the yard. My friend suggested that we put it in the garage....No one can see into the garage.... and clean it up, which is what I did.
I used a hose from the hot water heater to fill it up with water.......
A Woman needs a Bath Tub...................ITS THE LAW!... That was Friday afternoon, I have taken a bath everyday.. And one of my friends has come over and used my clean bath tub too.
Friday night I sleep like a baby...........the warm water is extremely relaxing.... It was wonderful.

Well it is Monday and I have to get back to working at managing apartments. so i am off to work.
Have a great Monday
Nancy
