I haven’t been geeking much on FR today.

Daughter is renewing her vows next month and wants me there (big shock!) so I’ve been looking for a dress I could afford, in the style I wanted and the color preferred but have been singularly unsuccessful.

So then, I started hitting the sewing pattern sites, and came up with a few I liked, but I need to get over to JoAnn’s to see if I can find what I want in the way of fabric, color and price.

Wish me luck.

It’s going to be an evening affair and that makes it difficult for me because I can’t see to drive at night very well. (Cataracts.)

I’m just glad they are making things work, so I will do what I have to do to be there. This is the first time she has ever asked me to be with her.

I just had the FBI on my doorstep this afternoon.

Best wishes on the dress. If you describe what you want, I could look at the thrift stores!

It’s warmed up to 68 here.

Yay, you! I am very happy that things are going well for you, and am doubly happy that you will create your own outfit! One of my retirement goals was to make washable business outfits for victims of domestic violence so that they would have suitable attire for job hunting (custom-made for each person). I lost the feeling in my hands (peripheral neuropathy), and it’s very difficult to sew like this. Oh, well, I can do other stuff for people.
