A Bright Sunny Day
A bright sunny day and we are at a good place. Nice enough to hang out some laundry on the clotheslines to get that wonderful aroma in the house as it will need a bit of inside temperatures to finish drying.
Dennis’ little red pickup got washed . . . right in our driveway. I feared he would get cold and chilled but he was cautious. There was only one problem. He lost the end of the vacuum hose mid way through cleaning the inside. It was just about a meltdown . . . until he noticed that the floor mat in the backseat looked a bit waunkie. A good spot for the hidden object.
As much as I have experimented with my Bernina sewing machine, there is always more to learn. I have the best Bernina dealer in Minnesota right in downtown Bird Island. Amanda emailed me two workbooks that go beyond what the original manual held for information in regard to embroidering. Once downloaded, I did decide to print out all the portions that pertain to my model which is 770QE. It will be easier for me to thumb through printed material than opening the file on the computer. What fantastic customer service. I usually see Amanda twice a year for machine servicing; spring and fall. I have an appointment on November 2nd for her husband Kelly to service the machine. I know I will need new blades on the automatic cutters. Once the roads are icy and snow covered, I am not apt to make the 62 mile trip if I can avoid it.
For all the wind that we have had, our Northern Golden Oak has been hanging on to as many of its leaves as 
possible. It is the only burst of color in our neighborhood. When we planted the tree sixteen years ago, many didn’t think it would do well in this part of southern Minnesota. I can only imagine it must be at least 25′ to 30′. All I know is that when I stand close to it and try to look up to the top, I all but topple over.
Time for supper and pulling together a grocery list. Tomorrow is a road trip date to Mankato.
