OIL NEEDED

We are slowly going through boxes we packed two years ago and discovering items we have totally forgotten about or have been looking for and couldn't find.

When Mary found her sewing machine it naturally sparked a desire to get out some fabric and make something, anything, just sew. 

But before one can use a machine that hasn't been used in over two years the machine needs to be serviced. A few inquires in town and we soon learned that the gentleman who did such service and repairs has just retired and there is no one taking his place. Now what?

Too far to lug it down to Toronto for servicing so the next best approach ....................... internet.





A quick google search and Mary had the machine apart, oiled, cleaned and back running like it just came off the assembly line.

We may be living in the bush but we are still connected and as resourceful as ever. 

Thanks for stopping by and safe travels Marvin and Annie.
