Hi Ruth!

I know what you mean there :)  and it seems no matter how much you plan for
those toys, they still seem to grow beyond the space you alot for them :) :)
We're considering now doing an additional rack of shelves for glassware so I
can move some of my dish collection to where the glassware was, so I can move
some of my countertop appliances to where the dishes were..so I can move....
Lol.. well I think you get my drift (grin).

Yeah, we've always had toooooo many :)  But that's because once we decided to
do computer programming for a living, we knew we'd have to stay on top of the
latest greatest pretty much (grin).  That and we've always had our heads in
more in than one operating system from way back.  We'd have to have at least
two systems as well for the two of us just to work, as well.. Ron has about 5
systems upstairs running in a spare room over my head (grin) and this room has
our two main systems in it and our CD rom/printer/copier for distribution. This
room is pretty packed though (g).

They're renting the house they're in now.. They're both going to grad school ..
or at least her husband is right now, maybe she's going to start later.. not
sure what their plans are there :)   So anyway, I think they'll probably have
to look for another place if they can't figure out a way for this one to work..
it's a nice little house too... it has a very large basement.. but my daughter
doesn't want to put any of the boys down there to sleep... which I can
understand.

Yep, we finished that one, and Ron said, 'sooooo??? are you going to make
another??'  so I did haha :)  This time, I did pick up a package of coconut for
it.. I included it in the cake as the recipe called for it.. but I've decided I
like it better without the added coconut in the cake (Ron likes it both ways
(g)).

Take care,
Janis
