I will be teaching a quilting class at our local Community Center. One of the students did not own a sewing machine. Another student offered her machine if someone could fix it. My husband is pretty good at fixing machines. After opening this Singer 834 we found a broken bobbin case. Luckily, they still have these for sale at most Singer sewing centers. The new bobbin case should be in soon and this machine will be ready for a new quilter.
We are truly blessed to have such nice neighbors here in the Ozarks. After the 5 inches of snow we got this weekend, our driveway disappeared. I thought we were going to have to shovel it to get out. Well this Sunday morning our neighbor Mark came by with his tractor. He plowed our long driveway from the country road, garage and our front door in less than 15 minutes. We can now drive out again. Having a tractor is a good thing.
It snowed again in the Ozarks. We expected this on Thursday but it came all day and night on Friday. Our porch was snow filled and the car was snowed in with 5+ inches. We can't see our driveway anymore. My husband and I shoveled our way out the porch and deck. We walked up our snowy hill to our mailbox. The mailman made it through! We then walked down the road to see how far we could get on foot. No way our car is getting through all this snow. A huge tractor came by to pick up hay for the neighbors cows and horses. Tractors have no problems in the snow. We will wait it out like our neighbors are doing. Just take care of the animals and stay warm at home with the fire going.
