sewing machine needles

Sarah mentioned that she had ordered needles online - haven't done that yet but might have to look into it. A few years ago we had a sewing machine repair person speak at our guild meeting. She recommended Organ needles. I haven't used anything but Organ since then - unless, of course, I needed a special needle like metallic. The ones that I buy say Size 80/12DP on the back. Anybody else tried them?

As I am sure many of you have heard, we have had unprecedented rainfalls in this area of the country. I don't remember ever seeing the rivers on either side of New Ulm this high in September - they are expecting the rivers to crest on Wed. and there will be flooding. There are already a number of roads closed in So. Minnesota and, of course, there is a great concern over the crops. The predictions are for sunny weather going into the next three-week stretch so we will keep our fingers crossed for all of those families that will be affected by results of this unusual weather pattern. Some of you met my friend Judy when you were here ("Salsa Judy") - her home is in one of the flood plain areas in town so there are several of us on the ready to help move things for her this week if necessary.

We are hosting a young lady from Germany who is here under a Sister Cities exchange program. She arrived on the 25th and will be with us thru the end of October. She will then move to another home. She is studying to be a mechanical engineer and will be working at the3M plant while here. She will be taking classes at Purdue beginning in January. We have hosted under this program a couple other times in the past - it is always interesting to meet new people and to welcome them into our home. Joleen in MN
