I would like to ask for prayers. My SIL is in the Ukraine right now. He left the US to see his father who is ill a couple weeks ago. Shortly after arriving he had some kind of food poisoning or something from the water. I hear there is a water crisis all over the country. He then had heart problems. I am second generation Ukraine on my father's side and my daughter was born the day Chernobyl blew. I feel a connection to this country. He is a wonderful man and I pray he comes home soon. Also Christie is arriving on Monday! This is her 5th annual visit and I am so excited! We used to call cars that would misbehave only when with the owners' "lemons". I have 2 lemon embroidery machines. In preparation of Christie's arrival, I took both to the dealer. While at the store one of the managers checked them out since it takes a month to get through service. Both stitched fine. I bring them home and the same old same old. Classic! I am half tempted to get a brand new

machine! I really shouldn't, but... but I get so frustrated and I only want to stitch. Thank you for being here. Christine
