Well, Ingo didn´t pray for this and...
... no, this is our dear neighbour W from 4th floor.
The one whose wife is in a nursing home now, sadly.
The one who is still not allowed to visit properly.
Who brought me fresh chive and took my groceries home, to whom we talk often.
Who sewed himself masks, by hand as he cannot sew on a machine.
So....
His wife´s machine now is in our condo for Ingo to use.
By golly, back then these things came along with a lot of weight!
Will I get a dress from Ingo?
A skirt?
Something fancy?
Let´s see, first figure out how it works.
It´s the only one we have that works, Ingo´s said "kack!"...
Henry´s sibling says:
Just come in. I´d like to offer you a cuppa.
Thank you, Corinna, not possible :-(

...neighbors helps neighbors, that what life should be all about!
That is true!
That sounds super exciting Iris!!! Thank you so much to Mr. Neighbor for being so kind! I pray for his health and his wife's as well, may the Lord bless their kind hearts! Now Ingo can make more masks for you both and you can even do more now for your friends too :) I remember your posts about the masks (I think it was the first post I have ever seen of your blog since we became friends) with the cute fabrics!
Sending you hugs dear Iris and Thank you so so so much for always joining Timeless Thursdays! I am so happy to read about you and your brother this week, very touching! Left a comment there by the way ;)
Hugs to Thursdays! Ohhh I wish it's the weekend soon!

Your neighbour is so kind. I hope he gets to visit his wife soon.
How exciting is that? Nice. I bet Ingo will enjoy that machine and hopefully get really creative and make more than masks? It looks like nice machine too. Hope all is well. Hugs-Erika
Stevenson, now thais is a funny coincidence then with the masks-post :-)
Well, the wife has had strokes, a heart-attack and Alzeimer´s.
I hope, come time he may visit again she remembers him...
Dear Stevenson, your Thursday theme is fun and brings back old (blog-) memories, I´ll hop to your comment now, hugs from here, the weekend will be here, soon!

Margaret, yes, I hope for him to meet her again, too! And that she remembers him.

Erika, I hope so, too, so far he still has to find out how/if the machine really works, the neighbour was not sure... Hugs from here
Wow, that is one heavy machine. It's too bad it didn't come with instructions. Has Ingo or have you looked on the internet to see if there are instructions there? It will be nice once you two get it fixed. Henry looks quite good today.
Hmmm, good idea, maybe some lover of these machines really put something online!
Oh, no. That´s Ingo´s toy, I´m outta there! I quit sewing back then and turned to working with wood with the boys! :-)
That is so kind! I bet one of the first things made on that machine will be a machine mask for T as a thank you. (Or something like that!) And then who knows? Dresses? Curtains? Tablecloths? Shirts? The possibilities are endless! I'm sure Ingo can figure it out.
What a thoughtful, generous gesture. That is incredibly kind.
I gave my sewing machine to my daughter and her husband. I used to sew, but now I prefer to buy my muumuus at the muumuu factory.
What a nice neighbor you have. I hope he can visit his wife soon and she didn't forget him. Have a nice evening, Iris.
Your neighbor is a nice man!
Jeanie, I do hope Ingo gets something done at all, he´s always busy with technical stuff rather!
But, yes, this is some sweet neighbour we have!!!

gigi, I sadly cannot sew at all. I hope Ingo finds the time and fun to really do it!
____
Bill, yes, to both!!

RedPat, yes. Life is so unfair to him....
Having good neighbours is a blessing.
I agree :-)
My sewing machine is in a corner, behind a door, gathering dust. I haven't used it in years, but I'm not ready to give it away just yet.
It looks bigger than the one my mom had.
River, I sadly can sew...

William, it´s a heavy coloss!
