Obviously, its not Halloween any more. I need to update, and I need to start with a new reveal. I think about these things. I wonder what would be worth writing about. Than I realise, every time we learn any littel bit of new somethihg about one of our friends, we all say "wow, how amazing, interesting, fun, whatever word fits." So I guess I could reveal even the small boring stuff to me, and it would be new to anyone who reads it. so that is the direction I will have to go in when trying to figure out what new thing to reveal about my self.
When we were kids we lived by the beach. We would go to the beach all the time just to play. Our mom never went with us. Now when I think of that, I think I would never let my kids go to the beach by themselves when they were that small, but we did. Anyway, we used to play chicken with the waves. We would stand with our backs to the water, and the other would say run just before the wave was gonna hit us. I didnt hear my sister or brother say run, and the wave hit. Remember, these are surfin size waves, and I was about 8 or 9 at the time. I dont rememeber getting hit,but I do rememeber being thrown around in the water, back and forth as the water came in and out. My sister was yelling for me to stand up, but I couldnt hear her. I finally was able to stand up and breath again. It was really scary. My sister said she was afraid for me cus if she went home with out me she would get in trouble.
Thats done, on to other stuff. I am going today to learn how to use the Phaffe sewing machine my mom gave me. I have an appointment at 10:00 this morning. This machine has buttons all over it and it will make a bunch of different stitches including letters. I cant even get the bobbin thread to work right, even if I look at the manual and try to follow directions. I just cant fint the right directions to follow, and if I start pressing buttons, i could mess up the machine. its best to pay someone to tell me how to use this.
My other machine is on the shop being adjusted and cleaned and oiled. it started squeaking, so i thought I had better correct that before i went any further. I didnt want to break it. I havent been able to sew for about a month now. I am going through my own littel bit of shock treatment here. I really want to get back into my sewing room and finish the things I have started. I have two quilt tops hanging there waiting for boarders and backs. I need to move on.
We didnt get much action here on Halloween. I had all those chips sitting in bowls, waiting for the cute little kiddies to come by. I only had about six knocks on the door. the first round, i let them choose. After that, I gave them one of each, and they acted just like i said they would, like they never get to eat chips. OMG. I just think that is so funny. It my favorite part of handing out chips.
It has finally started raining here. the air is clearing up, its getting that crisp feeling in it. I have to start wondering if I need a coat when i go out. Its not especially cold, its just raining. some would say its cold, but I dont think so, not yet, but it will be. Our newest neighbor still has his sprinkler timer set. it still goes off every morning. I wonder if they know how to turn it off or if it will come on every morinig all winter. The tree in my front yard is almost naked of leaves right now. It wont be long before it is the skeleton tree, with just small little branches and twigs showing. I kinna like that look also, its appropriate for the winter. Rebirth has to start somewhere.
OK, I better set my print and get on the reading everyont elses news. By the time I walk awy from here two hours will have passed and I will be running out the door. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend planned. See ya all soon.
