    What a touching surprise, Martina. My heart surely would have melted if it had been presented to me. Tell Mr. Incredible that there is this strange Ducky somewhere in Colorado that thinks that what he did was really great.

    If he also did the sewing, there wouldn't be anything left for you to do. lol

    Or do I hear duelling machines?

    :lol: I have tried getting him to "work" with me....no such luck! Told him about all the guys on here and how they sew...."That's not me"
    I will settle for the "ripper" and the "cutter" for now! :wink: :wink: :wink:

    There is probably nothing he could have done that would have let you know how well he knows you! Now THAT'S true love.

    Did you ever comment on things being moved while he was working? I can just imagine the bluffing that would have to happen :)

    No, I just thought I was losing it. I generally keep those ideas (and the voices in my head) quiet. lol I told him later though and he was surprised because he apparently took great effort to set everything right again.

    What a great guy and a great clock!
    Your stash may not be safe anymore, though.
