Mine has bought sewing machines for me, and found quilt shops when we travel. I've taken over the family rm, and that is okay with him, but he won't let me have half of the garage. Oh, yes he does the laundry, will cook once in awhile,or we go out to eat. We've been married 53 1'2 yrs, and he's my guy. He did give my featherweight to Goodwill which really cost him.
