What a great welcome! Thanks! I needed a little pick me up. :D
I'm up north of Pinellas, in Pasco and we don't have any good shops. Okay we have a pretty big Joann's, but as my mom puts it, we always seem to get a bad taste in our mouths when we visit there. I was there today and was thinking about looking at the sewing machine feet, but when they told me I needed to go to the "carpet part" I though oh no it's not worth that much to me (I tell you that lady wants to sell me on a high dollar machine!) No offense intended, I just don't have money like that growing on my trees! Heaven help me when my new Elna needs real service instead of just a cleaning.
amma hit the nail on the head with the comment about my dd cutting the cat's hair and not her own. I'm glad he is so well furred! If he had less she might run out and cut her own (we just had her first hair cut, so another would make me crazy, I think). Sunny is a Maine Coon Cat, which means he's -well to me beautiful, but rather long coated and a bit goofy. The breed is known for being super smart but Sunny Dear, has had some medical issues that he had over come as a very young kitten, and he's not the brightest bulb in the box (most cats would run away if a toddler approached with scissors don't you think?)
So when my project makes me crazy I have great people here to help me through! Wow, where have you all been? Yes, I know right here. ;)
I used to work in Tampa, and of course Dade City has the best u-pick strawberries in the world. ;)
