One More
This “one more” day is the culmination of my tick list. Today, I traveled to Bird Island to see my Bernina people. Amanda and Kelly run a great shop.
It had been since April of 2019 that I had had my sewing machine serviced. It’s been a busy run. There were 1,000,000 more stitches put on since that time in April. I now have 438 hours of the needle going up and down on the five-year-old machine. It works as well as the day I brought it home. The reason I knew it was time for Kelly to work on it is the simple task of cutting a thread. The blades were telling me . . . they needed to be replaced.
I don’t have any large projects looming in the sewing studio, but it does all count up and Kelly did mention that it was not all that dirty in the down and under of the machine. While Kelly was working on the machine I noticed that he was tethered by a coil and no one would go into his work area during that time for fear of an electrical spark. When I could peek over the counter I got a look at what is under the hood. The entire right side of the machine is nothing but multiple computer boards. No wonder it is such an amazing machine.
Dennis passed on going with me today. His hand is improving and as long as he continues to take it easy all will be good. As Dennis commented, it’s so easy to stick out that right hand to lift something or push something. The patio porch is the best place for the ole cowboy . . . just a few more healing days.
It did spark Dennis’ interest when he saw the box of heart-shaped treats I picked up in Fairfax when I stopped to say a “hi” to Kersten.
There seems to be some mixture coming later on Friday. Either sleet, rain or snow, I am home for the duration. I have no wants to take me anywhere. As I said, this one day allowed me to have everything I need in my home to be content.
