BG

BG is coming!!!!!  BG is coming!!!  Have I told you about this at all???  BG’s daughter Jennifer decided that she wanted to drive to North Carolina to see her father graduate from college with degree in Criminal Justice.  Jennifer and BG are talking about it one day and BG says ‘do you want company’?  So, they arrange to drive down on Thursday and back on Sunday.  For some reason BG decides to look at one way plane fairs, and finds a really cheap one out of Providence, RI.  So, she is coming TONIGHT!!!!  (Wednesday, July 16^th!!!!!)  I will pick her up at the airport around 7:30 PM, and then sometime in the early morning hours of Sunday morning, I will drive her several hours up to someplace in North Carolina, and she will ride in the car home with Jennifer!!!!!

BG - looking younger and sleeker than ever!

OK…..now it’s 4 PM on Thursday…..BG came in at 8 PM last night and when we got home and got everything lugged downstairs, we fired up the long arm.  You will be SHOCKED to hear that … it didn’t work  L.  Two and one half hours later, it was 11:30 and we said many more bad words and stumbled off to bed.  This morning we all had breakfast on the deck (it was BEAUTIFUL out) and then made a quick grocery shopping/stopping at Chik-fil-a for peach milkshakes run before heading back to the studio.  We called the store (of COURSE the long arm guy was not available)…so we ripped napkins for 4 hours until he called back.  And of course….I had to call someone else to fix it.  Fortunately, the GRACE Company could not have been more prompt of nicer on the phone…..terrific customer service that the sewing machine store could DEFINITELY take a lesson or 2 from.  Anyway, he thinks my coax cable, or the circuit board is bad….he really thought it was the cable, but after he heard the story of how many things have gone wrong, he is sending another circuit board just in case…so that I don’t have to wait again.  He thought it would arrived on Friday…we will see.  Meanwhile, BG and I finished our napkins and watched THE EXOTIC AND BEAUTIFUL MARIGOLD HOTEL and I stitched on the new tiny size of tumbling blocks until bed.
