Something to Share!

This is something I found in a vintage pattern booklet the other day. It says it is mixer cover and toaster cover. Personally; I am thinking the mixer cover will work for a sewing machine cover. The directions are very simple. I want to try and upload it to the blog... I think you can copy it and blow it up big enough to use. If not, will figure something else out!

Just an "Iris" Story: - As the "Wedding Unfolds"

I have one more Iris story... I will try to keep brief. My second son
announced that he and his longtime SO of nine years are going to marry in
December. :) Well; he said he would not have it any other way but to have
Iris be the flower girl. Iris looked at me with tears in her eyes and said
"But I don't want to get married"! :) I could not get it through her head.
I tried everyway that I could to explain it to her. Then the next day she
watched a Princess movie fest....starting with "The Little Mermaid". At the
end of which she came to tell me the store as she always done. She told me
they "Kissed" which made them fall in love and at the end of the movie they
"got married with the help of their friends". I explained to her then,
seizing the opportunity, that Josh & Melissa were going to get married and
she was their friend and she had to "help" them by carrying the flowers
wearing a beautiful dress! She agreed that she could "help" them and
be a Princess in their wedding. So that hurdle is crossed. :)

Congratulations Josh & Melissa!

All this enclosed said, I am so very very happy for my guy and his girl!

Hmmm.. Think I have another better understanding of the term "bittersweet" unless I am using the term wrong.

My second son called me last night. Josh, the father of the twins who will soon be eleven, called me to break the news. :) Funny, a couple of months ago I had joked with him about this very thing. Anyhow; he finally stepped up to the plate, purchased a diamond, and proposed to Melissa. He has been with Melissa for nine years or so and I am not at all surprised. I am so happy for him I could cry... It is just the thought of so much "romance". He totally surprised Melissa who was not at all expecting it. It had to be wonderful. At the same time, I guess I am too frank perhaps everyone gets hit this way, I am very sensitive and well I am reminded of that very feeling that is missing in my life and that too makes me sad.

Yes; my son is a man. He is doing the right thing and words can't begin to explain how happy that makes me... But; at the same time it is a reminder of things missed, things not there. Of course, I can't talk to my husband about this sort of thing anymore than I can talk to him about anything else. I called my friend and talked to him a little bit. He understands without definition. He has been a very good friend. Even though he is steeped in his own troubles (unemployed for months now without even unemployment. .living off his mother's good graces, he talks to me. That is so important.

Anyhow; guess I should have put this on my blog. I am more or less treating the list like a diary! :) It is afterall my history I am telling here. ;) But; you all are friends. So keep your Summers open! We might have a wedding and you will all have to attend! :)

I am happy....really I am....for Josh & Melissa and wish them all the best that life can ever bring/afford them.
