Snakes big & small

LiLi came to our house again on Weds with big plans to get the sewing machine out of the box
I had found some easy things for her to make & we started with snakes!  Here's the link to the pattern.....very simple & easy for a "kid friendly" project
Yes I let her use sharp scissors to cut out the material
Popster cut me a piece of wood that I "duck-taped" to the foot control so she couldn't press it down too far.

Yes my sewing table & machine got moved to the sun room along with my desk & computer.  I'm all set I can just stay here for the rest of the winter & ignore the chaos in the rest of the house




Meet Larry the snake
We decided he was just a baby snake so then we cut out & sewed our own version of a much bigger snake!
Meet Rosie the momma snake!






Does she look pleased with her self?

Love

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

Yea for Don the repair guy!

My new BFF is Don the repair guy who came today to fix the dishwasher. Amazingly, after he took the door apart it would close - I really did not believe the handle was broken but was defective! It had never felt right........always kinda loose. Anyway he decided that as long as we had a new handle he would install it & even gave me the old one as a back-up. Works much better now. Funny story - while he was here he got a phone call from the office telling him one of his earlier repairs of the day had called saying their dishwasher would not start at all. He called the lady back & suggested different things for her to try but nothing worked. He said he would stop back after his next call to see what it could be. As he hung up I said "Sounds to me like she has the "child lock control" on!". Sure enough after another phone call that turned out to be the problem! Maybe I need a change of careers!!!!!

46 years ago...............................

Today is our anniversary & I  have decided this post will be my version about how we met.......Popster's version would more than likely not be the same but that's how we roll! It was new year's eve 1963....yikes!.......I was a telephone operator in a little town called Huntingdon in England.  It was about 3 miles from Alconbury, an amercan air force base.  All calls went thru our switchboard including ones from the base so consequently we got to know all the GIs.  we would meet them at the Nickel Coin.........pictured here during our coffee..... or should I say tea?....breaks & lunch hours.  Whenever some newbies were transfered in they would be brought to town to meet the local girls. It was not "love at first sight"......I thought he was kinda nerdy & he thought I was a "stuck-up english broad"!  It was a few weeks later when he asked me to go to the movies that I realized he wasn't so "nerdy", so I guess we'll call
