The Old Folks Home

[Nomadicus]

I don't know what is in bloom here but I have to take a Zyrtec at bedtime and a claritin when I get up in the morning. It will get worse as I'm surrounded by wiregrass and that is one of my worst offenders.

Goodnight old folks. Tomorrow has to be a better day. At least I won't be sitting in a waiting area for 6+ hours getting tires installed.

My Mom taught sewing as a 4-H leader. She made our shirts growing up.

I dreaded the trips to the fabric store though!

I remember being bored out of my head while mom looked through patterns. Sewing is more expensive than buying clothes these days. I can’t complain, I never learned to sew.

They always follow the same shopping patterns in those stores...

I learned after a fashion to make clothes but mostly just for me.

It's too bad flour doesn't come in big fabric sacks now. It would be good for those that would like to have that fabric for replicating what our grandparents and great grandparents made quilts out and possible clothes out of.

Got to get dressed and ready for work. Labor coming soon. (I hope).

Good morning, OF.

My grandmothers, mother, and her sisters were all excellent at sewing. Most of my aunts on the other side of the family were good at it too. Not only that, but because they were so good at it, they always had top of the line sewing machines. My cousins sew. I HATE sewing with a passion. Yes, I can do it, and well, so it's not that I don't know how, or that I don't know enough about it. I simply can't stand doing it. When I'd make an outfit, or something, I wouldn't wear whatever I made, because it reminded me of how horrible it was doing the sewing on it.

Our Safeway does have flour in a sack! I can’t remember what brand it is but it’s expensive.
