One of those weird coincidences, we were just at the pool getting one grandkids off the high dive, and I was telling him how I felt the same kind of scared the first time I climbed that bridge railing there and dove in. The arboretum bridge was easy compareativly. Small world I guess.
I actually pulled off flips from the low dive the other day. I'd be getting old I think without them pushing me.

Kinda wish we weren't a state apart. Mom's mom taught me on sew on this machine. Pretty sure I was the last to run it at her house in Ballard. "Ran when parked".:)
Started to look at it but the power supply cord just desinigrates when touched, lots of exposed wire. The gal at sew and vac thought I shouldn't have trouble finding someone to buy it and restore it for themselves.

jeannes machine needed a good cleaning and a belt replacement (leather) it is a peddle powered machine non electrical. My restoration was the cleaning and finish touch up. The cabinet is amazing but the tiger stripe oak was a braded and veneer was lifting in a few spots that is the sort of restoration work I fo. We took it to a specialist with a home repair shop in his home and he checked out the mechanical

That is a beautiful cabinet, and cabinet machines are handy. Just had my singer tuned up and wish it could go in the cabinet but those are purpose built. And I prefer a foot pedal to the knee operation. Probably end up passing it along.
