Sweat Shop
Just about every Sunday morning Ed and I go to the Saugeen Municipal Airport for breakfast and a visit with our friends Anne and Victor and a number of other regulars. As Colin and Margaret know Anne and Victor but haven't seen them in years they decided it was worth getting up early and going for breakfast. After a hearty meal and a nice visit we opened the "sweat shop". Margaret was in charge --- she did all the cutting, gave me instructions on sewing cushion covers for the couch in the trailer and sewed the curtains. Good thing I got the easy job as it's been years since I have sewed, in fact I was impressed that I remember how to thread the machine and make it go. The first seams weren't the straightest but I was getting better just before I finished. I said little prayers of thanks that my material was easy to sew each time Margaret cursed as the curtain material fought her.
The boys had a pretty easy day. Colin made an appointment for an oil change for his truck but found out that the hoist couldn't lift the truck when he got to Canadian Tire --- he wasn't a happy camper. Colin and Ed took the three dogs Zaph, Splash and Mexi for a walk, Splash walked behind the guys wanting to go home to mommy, Zaph ran ahead as usual and Mexi decided to be a "big dog" and stayed up front with Zaph. I wish I could have seen that.
The ladies in the "sweat shop" hard at work.
Looks good ... it's safe to come in.
Splash wants to know what's behind Door Number 1. Mexi is more interested in cleaning her butt.
I love you Uncle Ed.
The finished look.
The couch in the trailer with the seat cover (Margaret sewed it), and the cushion covers (I sewed them). As Zaph is allowed to sit on the couch, covers are easier to clean than the couch.
