A 1960s Kenmore with the fashion cams. It is tougher than my older Singers. It sews through layers of leather like butter!

A vintage sewing machine. I drove by it for weeks before I stopped and looked it over. I thought it was just the table but the machine was inside. Took it to be serviced and now it is one of my favorite machines to use.

All of our cats are fixed but none have chips. I had a vet tell me once that vaccines in cats can cause cancer or tumors at the injection site. I have noticed that every time I take my cats for shots they inject them in the upper leg or shoulder. The thought is the leg can be removed if there...

Had a rabbit escape this morning. Roo found the cage open and the doe missing. I went out to help recatch her and started calling her name like an idiot. When Roo came back after getting Juju to help she pointed at my feet. There was Honey sitting at my feet waiting! I bent to grab her and...

K is back from Texas and now we are just waiting for an offer. K is happy with the company and excited to get an offer and start. We could be moving within a month of getting an offer!

K had his phone interview this morning before work. It went well. They want him but understand he has another interview with another company. They mentioned letting them know what the other company offers and they would push for a zoom interview so they could match/beat it. I am better but...

The whole family went upstairs to get some cleaning/packing/purging done. It was suppose to be a short chore to get motivated but we spent 2+ hours working. K is still up there finishing up a bit with the girls. I had to come down to sit. My asthma was going nuts from the dust and lint. K...
