    Sewing machine

    Gloria, ever year I pick a new place to give quilts to, I end up with bag of stuff to make them, and now that I don't work any more I'll have time to make lots more, my new machine will be able to sit on my work table so I can just leave it set up all the time.

    Plans for next year

    After this year I'm going to down size the flower beds in the front yard, I don't spend time out there working on it and weeding so down sizing the flower bed will help, and it will only add a few more min. to mow the lawn and trim it, most of the plants will be moved to the back yard or along...
