The husband has gone fishing, the kids are still in the bed. I have a hot cup of coffee. There is nothing so peaceful as a quiet house in the early morning. The only sound I hear are the clocks ticking in the family room and the keys on the keyboard clicking as I type this post. As Ms Goodneedle would say, “Life is Good”
Why am I up so early? Well, I placed a bid on eBay last night and went to bed before the auction ended. My curiosity got the best of me and I had to know if I won or not. Good news, I WON! I am now the owner of a 1938 Singer Featherweight 221.
I’ve been looking for a while (2 years) for the right price on one of these old black beauties. I’ve been going to Estate auctions, antique shops and yard sales. I couldn’t believe it when I saw this one up for auction. I guess with the economy the way it is, people are more willing to part with their treasures for a little less money. Anyway, dear husband said go for it and I did.
Yep, I’m dancing the happy dance this morning. (Picture Snoopy, nose up and feet moving) Well at least in my heart anyway. Don’t want to wake the dog or the kids. Happy Day to all of you out there in blog land.
