I was at Costco yesterday and looked at their Brother machine and it looked like a fantastic deal. So tempted to buy it just to leave at my friend's house in Phoenix then decided I best not. (Two birthdays this month and Christmas is coming.)
Where does your son live? Are you flying or driving to see him? If you are driving I would go get it - but if you are flying I would order it on line and have it sent to your son's home.
