. . . furry friends . . .

. . . when you go out of town . . .

. . . there are so many details 

to take care of . . .

. . . i used to worry 

about what to do with maggie, 

our furry friend . . .

. . . she'd usually go, 

kennel and all, 

to board with her groomer . . .

. . . those days are long gone . . .

. . . but, this time, 

i decided these furry friends

could stand to be 

boxed up and boarded 

with a groomer . . .

. . . at the bernina store . . .

. . . sewing on chenille 

is a fuzzy, fuzzy job . . . 

. . . so a thorough cleaning 

is in order . . .

. . . and please, please bless 

that the shrieking 

bobbin winding situation 

is fixable . . .

. . . these machines are vintage . . . 

. . . parts are getting rare . . . 

. . . i will, no doubt, 

worry about these friends 

until i return . . .

. . . hopefully, i'll pick them up

in better shape then when 

i dropped them off . . .
