I have a new toy!
Today DH and I went to the thrift store. I went to the back and asked, "do you have any old sewing machines?" She said, yes, we just got one.
I just bought a Model 99 Singer mfg in 1955 with cabinet, pedal and moving parts for ta-dah $20.
I will post pix once she is cleaned up. She needs a belt and I have ordered the instruction manual.
I am so excited!!!!!

we share lots of info, some of it true! we like to cajole, plead, encourage, warn and educate. we offer hugs and sympathy and fun to raise you up and strengthen your determination. this isn't just a weight loss thread. it's a friendly group of quilters changing their lives one pound at a time! this is a lifestyle change that takes time and work. but we make it as fun as we can, and as caring as a new mother. if you are dissatisfied or tired of the extra baggage, we're happy to help you get rid of it and keep it gone! what have you got to lose??

I'm not sure where the Long Beach peninsula is -- I will have to look it up. We are in Olympia -- and last spring I met up with several other quilters on the board closer to Seattle.
I thnk this is the greatest place to meet new friends, don't you??
I sent a PM

Mim, do you mind me asking where in Washington you will be? We hope to be on the Long Beach Peninsula this time next year. I LUV the rainy season up there. If we get a motor home, we hope to land back in Ocean Park. From there, we can walk to the beach several times daily. mmm, heaven.

Finally got word, I have a lung cancer that is considered very curable. I will be having surgery @ 7 am, then will go to ICU. Not sure how long I will be offline and will update when I can.
I am grateful for all your prayers and positive thoughts.
Cindy

Praying for you Cindy, that the surgery goes well and you have a quick recovery.
Congrats Irish Rose on meeting the five pound challenge, knew you could do it.
Congrats Purplemem on the new sewing machine, mine is from the 60s and it's a workhorse. LOL
