I failed to mention that in the course of this visit we also celebrated Grandpa Fishes birthday. He's a pretty popular guy around here. The girls cannot leave him alone and the boys cannot stop talking to him. He is a pretty special guy. Today he spent the morning repairing our toilet, it needed new seals and then drove about three hours round trip in the snow to take me to pick up a serger that I found on craigslist. I am so happy that John and I are friends, I really love him.
I also want to thank Auntie Norah. There are a few things that the kids had seen over the holidays on TV that they really liked. Chia pets have been sung about for the last month. When Hans and Olive opened these Norah, well, you would have thought it was Christmas. Thank you.
And this is it. A really big day for me. I have had serious anxiety over the type of machine to buy. I have wanted a serger for sewing clothes but didn't want to pay the money for it when all I'd use it for is clothing. I found this on Craigslist today for a song. I am thrilled and plan on taking some classes on serging this next month. I was happy that it was a Bernina because that is the brand I've been looking at. I headed back down to the dealer today and got set up for classes and put down my deposit on
this. It will be here in a week and will be mine, all mine. So, now I have two machines that are just what I wanted. I still have that weird nervous feeling that you get when you make a big purchase. Not that I have a lot of experience with that. But, I am excited and I have to thank my mom and John for being so good to me. I hope to do a lot of sewing for them.

What the heck is a serger? And what is serging? I'm glad You and John have such a good relationship and that the kids love him so much. I can't wait to see your new machine and all your creations with it.
No worries Dad, you know how much I love you. A serger finishes the edges on clothing. It's also called an overlock. I'll show you when you get here. I love you, hitcher.
Wow! Beautiful serger! I'm so glad that you're getting a new sewing machine, too. One that is safe and has a foot pedal that works so you don't have to keep plugging and unplugging--that's hysterical by the way. You deserve them. I'm glad you guys had a great Christmas!

Thanks Annisha!I was missing your comments! Olive loves looking at your blog and has now included Pinky- pie as one of her "girl" cousins(there's not many).
WOO HOO!!! I'm with Annisha. Safety is important:) I'm so happy for you to get the perfect machine. I was just thinking of the Cheech and Chong line "You wanna dake a ride on my machine?" Funnier when you hear them say it. Nevertheless. I can't wait to see what your machine will do. Love to you and all!
