    Ok...i'll bite....never was good at holding surprises!
    Do I hear drums rolling?????????
    I talked her down to..............$30.00
    I was SO out of breath ....MIL had like 3 in cabinet (singers) & 3 other portable all singers but one was a strange one that i can't think of the name. It was sitting all it lonesome self shoved under a tablecloth table full of christmas figures and i bumped it with my foot and look under the table....kinda dark but when i saw it was green/white box...I KNEW IT was the FW & closed my eyes & said Lord, let it be a FW pls, u know how long i have been looking for one??? She didn't even know what it was..wanted to know why i wanted this one among all the other better ones..so i told her and what it was worth but then again what it would cost me to service it , etc...she thanked me for being honest and ask if $30 okay? Ha, is it?? Happy Dance!!
