I am sure there are a few on the board that will agree that the machine embroidery and hand embroidery are two different things. I don't think that machine is cheating like some have said but it is different, I wish I have more patience and a really good teacher that would have a lot of patience with me. As much as the machine does the stitiching there is some work in the set up and color choice and all of that. It is an art form either way.

A photographer on vacation was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '$10,000 per call'.
The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.
The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God.
The American thanked the priest and went along his way.
Next stop was in Atlanta. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.
He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.
She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.
'O.K., thank you,' said the American.
He then traveled to Indianapolis, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, and New York.
In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same '$10,000 per call' sign under it.
The American, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel up to Canada to see if Canadians had the same phone.
He arrived in Canada, and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read '50 cents per call.'
The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. 'Father, I've traveled all over America and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to heaven, but in the US the price was$10,000 per call. Why is it so cheap here?'
The priest smiled and answered, 'You're in Canada now, son ... it's a local call.'
KEEP SMILING
If you are proud to be a Canadian pass this on!

It is something that we have lived with a long time, her first heart attack was when she was 39. so now that she is 65 or 66, everyday is a good day. At least you had time to say good bye, not that it makes it any easier. I am scared that I will be here when she goes. But, I am hoping to see her this summer, if she can't make it this way I am hoping to jump in the truck at some point and go for a visit there.
