As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."

@whiskeyecho Welcome and you started sewing for the same reason I did at age 13 - nothing OTR would fit - and back then, the added benefit was the money savings.

Wow! Close to Hershey PA - living there would have been better than receiving the Sears Christmas catalogue when I was a kid.

@Lachica - yes, Hershey, PA was the original home of Hershey Chocolate. Unfortunately, production was moved South of the Border several years back and like everything else these days - quality isn't the same........sigh...

Yes! Not only that, in my town we have a Mars factory that makes Dove Promises and M&Ms. Because we're in the country some days it smells like chocolate, others it smells like cows...

LOL! And I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but think, "And the origins of the odors are the same color!"
 :laughing:


Edit: Plus, thank you for the heads up on the Dove Promises - good to know. I've been limiting my chocolate cravings to the European imports for the last few years. (Maybe that isn't good to know...more opportunity for good chocolate.....) what am I thinking???? Of course it's good to know!!!
