1. I took two sewing machines in for repairs, or tune ups, or whatever they need. Hopefully he will be able to have them ready to pick up in a couple of weeks.
The repair service is in the next town over. Which also has the nearest locksmith, so to make the most I could out of errand batching miles, I took my great-great-grandfather's document box to see if they could open it for me. They said they could not without breaking the lock. So I will have to hope I come across the key (which I actually thought I had stored inside the box, so I don't know how the box was locked), or do some research to find a specialist in antique locks. It does not have anything of monetary value locked inside, just sentimental family photos and WWII war souveniers of my dad's. :(
2. A whole lotta leftovers were eaten here this week.
3. Cherry tomatoes are continuing to produce, and now we have some peppers ripening as well.
4. Reading, reading, reading. Again. Still.
5. Except for food and monthly bills, it's been a no spend week.
On the menu this week:
Saturday: Saturday family supper at Kasey & Beau's
Sunday: leftover pasta salad
Monday: leftover pasta salad (yes, I made him eat it again! But I kept adding fresh fruit/veg. It was the never-ending pasta salad!)
Tuesday: Sheet pan dinner: Smoked sausage, sweet potatoes, 1" thick cabbage slices; and from the stove top, creamed corn (not canned...frozen corn in a homemade bechamel sauce)
Wednesday: takeout burgers
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: pot pies
You are lucky to have someplace to get your sewing machines repaired. I don't know of anyone near me, so I hope I don't need mine services for a while!
ReplyDeleteWe had our take-out burgers today -- I had a coupon!
When you need service, call a sewing machine sales small business, they will know of someone. I Googled "sewing machine repair" and there was an independent repairman that I hadn't heard of before, but he had really good online reviews, so I'm giving him a try.
DeleteHow cool that you have that document box.
ReplyDeleteIt is really cool. I should do a blog post about it. If I get it opened, I definitely will and show what all is in it.
DeleteMore reading and less spending sounds like a plan I should follow! Also, cooking once, eating two or three times sounds very efficient!
ReplyDeleteI think maybe I should do less reading and more cleaning. LOL
