Suprise from Grandma!

After returning from our road trip back to see my grandma I decided to surprise my grandma with some bath and body works lotions since she had been commenting on how much she liked the scents of the ones i had brought along with me. Well I was afraid if I waited until Christmas she would have already bought some so i jumped online and sent her some as a surprise so then Grandma decided it was her time to turn around and surprise me and told me to keep an eye out for something to arrive...now the only thing I could think of was that she was sending me one of those hanging tomato plants because she had one on her porch and i kept talking about how I had debated about getting one but was worried I wouldn't get it to work. so here i am waiting for this tomato plant (and getting kinda excited about it actually) and then the doorbell rang one night and my surprise was here and it wasn't a tomato plant it was a Brother CS-6000I computerized sewing machine! I had forgotten how much I bring up my sewing tinkering and interests but have never made the plunge to buy a machine and didn't even know where to begin with what i would need and so on....I wish I had a video because I just stood in the doorway for a long time repeating "no, no it can't be a sewing machine" I even opened it up to confirm that it was a machine and not the tomato plant in some sewing machine box. What a surprise! I love my sewing machine, it's awesome! I have tackled some projects as I am learning how to use it, but I can tell this is going to be a life long love! Thanks Grandma!
