Flypaper thoughts over and underestimated things in life

• Only two and a half more weeks then we are home
• Should be back to my real life and posting real sewing then too
• I have been thinking about the title topics of this post
• Here we go
• Staystitching is underestimated
• It keeps things from stretching so so much
• Like 2" in a scooped neckline
• That's why the facing doesn't fit
• From wide to narrow, down to up
• Stay stitching really works
• Best thing I bought all year was 
• A dog stroller
• Miss Daisy likes to walk only in one direction
• But with short legs she doesn't get that this means she has to walk the same distance back
• Dog strollers are a genius idea for the beach
• She goes as long as she wants and then I pop her in
• She loves it, lies and watches the waves and the people
• Never underestimate the usefulness of really nerdy and embarrassing things
• My daughter says though if she sees that thing in the neighbourhood she will be mortified
• Never underestimate the freedom of being at the certain age when you don't give a shit
• Never underestimate the soothing effect of spending time with your dad's old friend
• When your own dad died before the internet was invented
• Do you have any idea how great it feels to sit and talk to someone who knew him and is still exactly like him?
• Like a quiet gift giving me some time with him back
• Friendships transcend anything
• This week my best friend from home made me a sample and sent me pictures the same day I asked
• We all need pinch hitters
• And the no questions asked people
• Remember when you were a kid and life was a cashless environment
• When your best friend was everything?
• Well that hasn't changed
• Only you did for a while
• But you can get it back at any time
• I am now friends with my dad's best friend's daughter too
• Never underestimate the power of a nice hand stitch to go where no machine dares to
• Wish Jill Scott made more movies
• The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series was amazing
• She had these cool cotton dresses too
• Never underestimate the value of a man who brings you coffee in bed before you get up
• As a matter of fact that should be a pre-nuptial test question
• Got to get to San Francisco to see where the kid is living and working
• Right now I feel I don't know where he is
• Got to have a picture in my head
• Like to see where they buy groceries, where he catches the bus
• That's what matters
• Those are the picture I want
• More possessions than you can fit in an rv is probably overestimated
• Only thing I have missed is...
• OK can't remember what that is
• Where we are I see flamingos flying in the inland waterway
• All pink with dangling long legs
• With all these gifts there are no things to miss
• Only people
