Sewing Machines

The machines we have these days are really unbelievable.  I keep my manuals close by whenever I'm working with either of them. You may not have noticed it, Beth, but it was on the corner of the table under the Zentangle stuff. When I took the classes after buying the most recent machine, I learned a whole bunch of things that weren't even in the manual! But the most exciting thing about all of this is that you managing to get some time for yourself.  I'm glad to see it.

We've continued to have problems with low humidity in the house, and finally today, a fellow came out to check it.  We were surprised when he told us that having a window open--even slightly--aggravates the problem, as the cold air is very dry and sucks the moisture right outside.  He suggested closing it during the day and only opening it at night.  The final analysis was that we need a humidifier put on the furnace--Ka-a-a-ching!  We'll probably have it done as soon as we get back from Cuba.

Also glad you made it into Winnipeg for the course that may increase your earning potential, Cathy.   I remember Lorraine saying that no matter how much you know, if you learn even one thing from a workshop, it's time well spent.  Mind you, she wasn't talking about processing land titles.  And remember that we're here if you need comic relief--or even a socially acceptable location for a primal scream.  

Last evening David and I played Joke-R-ummy with our own game, recently purchased at Walmart. He had thought that we might be able to play it on the plane, but we both realize that won't be possible.  We will take it in our carry-on, just in case we're able to play it in the airport during one of our three hour stays.  And we'll be taking extra cards, as they wear out quickly in the high humidity.  I think we'll be taking the crib board as well, but plan to play in the bar in the evenings instead of in our room.
