Yeah, me too. There must be another side to this story. But on the other hand, I'm real good at destroying mechanical things myself, especally sewing machines.
Came across something in the last belated Christmas note two years ago from my middle sister, Nan.
She went Home the following August.
She enclosed one of her favorite quotes, not knowing of the very special relevance to me!
And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the New Year:
"Give me a light that I may tread safely
into the unknown."
And he replied,
"Go out into the darkness and
put your hand into the hand of God.
That shall be to you better than light and
safer than a known way."
From KING GEORGE VI
A beautiful reminder, wasn't it?
