Some of us are celebrating because we
were right. The rest of us are like the
dutiful hubby helping wifey do the
washing he liked to do so because it
was so much fun to get through.
SOME SURPRISE?!
Now if you have squared your account
with Watts & Rogers- we will celebrate
and all be good fellows.
See and try a two-spool sewing ma
