Pat's machine and summer....

Pat...the machine is gorgeous....how many do you have now??? That one is just like the treadle machne that I had to give away just a couple of weeks ago...it had the same type decals and was in beautiful shape as was the wood cupboard itself.....it hurt to give it away but when moving and downsizing some terrible hard decisions had to be made....I even donated my antique piano that had been my 40th birthday gift to a seniors cooperative living centre for their common room....at least I know that it is being used and enjoyed and the new owner of my treadle is a quilting buddy who loves antiques so it is being loved in a new home now....

Sewing room in the new house was first one painted, but seems like it will be the last one unpacked....I have one more trip back north to retreive a few more things and close the house deal as well as get our son settled in the apartment....and settled to me means kitchen cupboards cleaned and things unpacked!!

Summer time is wonderful but not when it is hot and humid for moving....I would rather be sewing!!

    Heather: Where do you call home now. I remember some years ago on the old board when you had to leave your boys and move further north in Canada for your DH's job, but now it seems you have moved again. Did you go further north this time? I was born and raised in Thief River Falls, Mn. and have traveled into many areas of Canada. Hope you are able to get settled and that sewing machine out and running soon.

    Hi Phyllis, yes we did move to northern MB(Thompson)3 1/2 years ago and it was difficult leaving two of the boys behind. DH is on a medical leave from his job and the docs aren't sure they are ever going to let him go back there, so I sold the house there, took an apt and we have moved a majority of things to our summer residence just outside of TBay. Only this time I will now be leaving the son who came up there with us behind...he wants to stay on and work at the mine operation for a while because the $$$ are out of this world there. Thanks for asking
