thank you for sharing the touching scene with your new find.

I have a Toyota yaris also. Bet that was fun (?) finding the right way to get the treadle machine in there.

I was just thinking the same thing. Don, your wife is blessed to have such a tender-hearted man. Your story brought tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat. I am so glad your Ruby came to you, to be loved and cared for once again

Beautifully written! I know if the previous owner knew that you had Miss Ruby now, she'd be smiling for sure! Welcome from Alabama!

Thank you for sharing that with us.

I was thinking the exact thing...but frame it and hang in on the wall over her, or set it on her when she is closed. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
