My embroidery machine was supposed to be here July 4th 2008. Well it is Brazil so it isn't here yet. In the meantime my DH has worked hard to make life better for us here. He has planted 5 palm trees, 2 bouganvilla trees, 2 Jasmine bushes, an orange tree, a flower garden and some vegetable seeds. It is much nicer now.

Leah, you know when your machine arrives DH will have to take care of ALL your gardens/plants. No time for that once you hit the machine....Your place looks inviting...Enjoy each day

This is so true. After all he needs hotpads for the kitchen, and things to hang on the walls, and towels, and, and, and,

It is a little extra warm here however. that is why I am glad it is winter. Summers are too much heat.

This is true. We are currently painting the inside of our cement fence. My DD's have a large panel going with Arches National Park from the USA and a colorful horse. They are doing a great job.

Leah, this is beautiful - sorry - that you don't have your machine - I would be going nuts - is there any way that you could have carried it on? That is what I would be trying - Hehehe! Soak up the culture, until it arrives!

I have checked, the airlines say absolutely not. No Way, all of of those other kinds of nasty responses. We are hoping for an arrival tomorrow. Customs has released it several days ago. Now it is up to the trucking co.
