Kudos to Hillsboro OR Goodwill! Great packaging job!
I had sent them an email, expressing my hopes for care on their end. They replied reassuringly. It was so well wrapped that the light bulb was still working!

Lots of bubble wrap!

Chuck is checking for any small parts, (like the screw the holds the light fixture) Now the other side of this is, Hillsboro is not very far away.
Oh BTW is was a Grand Damascus Rotary, came w an extra needle, an extra bobbin, and a zipper foot.
Not bad for $10 + shpg! It's a little tight, but nothing a little oil won't fix.

That's good to know. I'm about 90 miles from them. Just far enough where shipping is a little better option than driving there myself. Seattle is about the same distance but it's where I go for my treatments so I have more reasons to go that way instead.

My other half is as bad as I am - so not really a good thing. I've got "play" money set aside and as long as I stay within my "budget" he doesn't have reason to gripe - well, unless he ends up tripping over them.
When that happens, I tell him to watch where he is going and pick up his feet!
And then I make him a carrot cake, or Italian creme cake, or cinnamon rolls, or one of his other favorites. It's rather easy when you are married to someone who has the way to their heart through their stomach.
