My tailor “Jennie” that is!! She’s been my tailor pushing 20 years, and I still go to her out of loyalty, despite the drive … although when I tell ya what she charges, you’ll insist that’s the reason, LOL!! Yeah, yeah, can hear a collective “cheap bastard” from y’all, lol. She and her husband were reading the Bible when I walked in, and they told me/showed me pictures of a recent trip to Thailand were they travel often, buying food (money out of their own pockets too), helping people who otherwise would go hungry. Just tellin’ ya so ya know what kinda people they are … much much better than me, lol. I kept running to the door watching my car, since I didn’t buy a ticket for parking. Told her jokingly, I’m a bad man, “I don’t read the Bible, I don’t buy a ticket” … she quickly retorts, “Don’t buy a ticket, get a ticket” … LOL … that’s a jennie-quote …Â way to go girl, LOL!!

Jennie continuing to work …
Jennie’s Bible … said she was reading Psalms …
She stopped eating, reading her Bible for me, she knew I drove far, was pressed for time. Almost forgot, total cost for hemming: $4!! Yeah, yeah … “cheap bastard”, heard you’s the first time, LOL!! Thanks Jennie!! 😀

Tiffany K. LOVED that pic of “Jennie” that I took, was so touched, so moved … she said the smartest thing … “why don’t you print it off and give it to her?” … so I did, can’t wait to give it to her!!

Ok, you know i just HAVE to comment on this one.. yes, that is a good price i’m guessing as i don’t have a tailor.. i mean, cheap bastard? i’m more likely to say LAZY bastard, hem them yourself!! Even i can hem,lol. I even have a small light duty sewing machine or i do it by hand. Snip, snip, stitch, stitch, voila! It may not be perfect, but who the heck is looking at my feet anyways? lol. Save gas and money, buy a lottery ticket instead of a parking ticket; win BIG & u can pay me to keep my lips shut & you can hem all you want and pay for tomatoes and lettuce…
And no, don’t bring me yer pants, LOL.
