Hmmm poor Kelela - we've gone and hijacked her thread .
MH, funny you should say about you being the one doing all the button repairs. My H can put a button back on and the clothing item would fall apart before the button fell off. He stitched the cap badge onto my son's Cadet beret as well - the ones on his tunic I have done by a "professional" sewer. My dad can also sew and knit better than I can. His mom always told him and his brother that they wouldn't always have her around and may not have a wife to look after them - and they were both ended up being widowed and having to fend for themselves. Guess my gran knew what she was talking about.
I'm teaching my son to cook for the same reason. I won't always be there to cook for him. He will sometimes cook dinner on Cadet nights so that it is ready when I get in - when I don't use the crockpot that it.
