A Good Feeling Day

What is not to like when we have a 51 degree day on the 9th of December.  

I had a great day and I didn’t even leave our home.  One of my good friends was taking her sewing machine to the Bernina people in Bird Island.  Turn around is fair play.  I took Jody’s machine with me last year and this trip, my machine road along with Jody.  I had taped concerns onto the bed of my machine with my phone number if Kelly ran into something other than the usual and customary tune up.

Here it is at 3:30 and the machine is back in the sewing room and ready for whatever comes down the pike.  I have had my machine for five years as of this last Thanksgiving.  Kelly left a note on my invoice that I had 496 hours of the needle going up and down on it.  I can tell you they have been fun hours with just as many challenges as not.  There are many more things that I want to do on the machine in the guise of embroidery and piecing of fabrics.  This tune up turned out great as it was on my tick list to get done while the roads and weather were good.  Thank you Jody.

Tomorrow I may need to set our alarm.  Dennis needs to be at the pulmonary clinic department in Mankato by 9:45 a.m.  Nothing serious, so two sets of ears are not required.  His prescription for  CPAP supplies needs to be renewed by a visit to the pulmonary nurse.

I need to be at my car dealer in New Ulm by 10:00 in the morning.  Getting a strut replaced is important.  The last huge item to be gotten done before our real winter hits.  I am sure I will be making a stop or two on my way home.   Yup, the alarm needs to be set to give both of us time to be fully alert before we hit the highways.

This season has turned out so good for us.  Water heater and refrigerator in and out of the house with no sloppy mess.  Traveling on dry roads while wearing a light jacket . . . priceless.  It seemed like there was a lot on our plate for awhile.  Then . . . I realized, God did not make me timid.  He gave me a spirit of resolve, power and good decision ability.  Can’t downplay the heart that knows no limit in loving.
