Well, it's nice having some good things to look forward to, right, even if you can't use them right now? I'm all for that!
There are some wonderfully giving people in the world. A very dear friend of mine, who is approaching 90 years old, got in touch yesterday. She is gifting me with one of her Viking embroidery machines! The offer came out of the blue and I'm really touched that she thought of me. I'll enjoy thinking of her while I'm using the machine.
