Back like a bad penny
About 12+ years ago my dad purchased a used Kenmore
sewing machine from one of his neighbors and gave it to
me.
I took this machine in to be serviced, and brought it home.
It worked so so but since this was a used machine I didn't
expect much.
In 2001 I decided I was going to make everyone's Christmas
gifts that year. I struggled constantly with that machine and
got so frustrated with it that I threatened to toss it off the 3rd
balcony.
In February 2002 I went to WalMart and purchased my very first
BRAND NEW machine.
Fast forward 11+ year.
Last week one of my co-workers told me he had an old used
sewing machine that was given to his wife. She was wanting
to get rid of it. Jesse asked me if I wanted it. Of course I said
"sure bring it to me, I can use it as a practice machine to repair".
He sets the machine in the truck of my car and I start looking
it over. Somethings just seemed to much like deja`vu to me.
The more I looked at this machine the stronger the feeling got.
I looked on the underside and had my suspicions confirmed. It
WAS my old machine that I wanted to toss off the balcony.
This it like a bad penny coming back to haunt me.
But I find it much to funny as I finally will reap my revenge on
the machine that caused me so much grief over sewing simply
Christmas projects.
