April 25

We usually buy a new appliance with our tax return.  One year it was a refrigerator and washing machine since both were on their last legs at the same time.  Another year it was a new garage door opener.  Last year it was a new hot water heater.  This year it is a new sewing machine.

My old Janome is still a work horse but just not robust enough for the amount of sewing I am doing.  Got a super deal on this new Janome 7700 from Jerry's Sewing and Vacuum here in Madison.  Monster is jealous because the motor on this new machine purrs almost as sweetly as he does....  Mary
