But it's so cute, I keep thinking if I can locate parts, I'd like to try to get it going. . . . . And the search goes on. . . .luv2learn
Hello everyone. This place is jumpin! Since it is going to be a little while before I do the BIG cleanup on Lizbeth (the treadle) I thought I'd better give her a drink. So I began turning the handwheel (she needs a belt) and slathered oil on everything that moved or looked like it should move, and she drank and drank and drank. then she took a huge SIGH and looked up at me with those big RED eyes and said, "thank you, I really needed that. You must really love me"and as she spoke,
her voice became a mere whisper. . . . ..She just doesn't have a clue as to HOW MUCH I love her! ! !
Isn't it strange how we can get attached to inanimate objects. I think we ARE breathing life back into them.
I'm really not crazy, yet. . . . .! ! ! ! ! luv2learn
