Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Just a trap door. This is a ranch house.

-> I guess you could describe ours as a bungalow. Small, cozy, definately a
-> lack of storage space.

 RH> Enough for what you need, not enough for what you want.  Then again,

Probably so.

 RH> the Law of Stuff applies even to McMansions.  I was at one today for a
 RH> moving sale, and was surprised to see Marshalls-grade stuff with
 RH> Marshalls tags even sitting there.  I picked up some cute California
 RH> cedar candle holders ... and a vintage man's watch.

To be stored at your house until sold on E-bay?

-> Steve's folks raised 5 kids with one bathroom but a bigger house. Dad
-> had the wisdom to have 2 as part of his plans for the house he built. We
-> really appreciated them. (G) He didn't consider the problems of aging

 RH> Amen!  My grandmother had a second toilet in the basement.  It wasn't
 RH> much to look at, but it saved the family bacon more than once.  There

Truth there! Sometimes 2 were barely enough! (G)

 RH> was none on the main floor, just with the bedrooms upstairs.  Weird,
 RH> but it was a 1910s house.

At least it was in the house. (G)

-> when he put the washer/dryer and food storage in the basement tho. The
-> kitchen could have better storage also; it was improved some with the
-> mid 70s update but is still a major problem.
 RH> ->
 RH> Grandma's storage was a pantry.  There were enough shelves in the
 RH> kitchen for dishes and that was it.

My grandmother's kitchen was like that. She had a free standing pantry
unit built--a rather interesting unit.

-> Very much so! Steve just talked to my dad; a major fire took out even
-> more of downtown. H... and high water in Margaretville.

 RH> Slosh.  Slosh.  Parts of CT really got nailed too.  I had about a
 RH> throw rug's worth of water.  The cruddy old rug was wringing wet and
 RH> that was about all.

Lucky you. Saw some pictures today a co-worker of my brother had; the
devastation was horrific.

->  RH> Yep - actually 1960 on the nose. The oven is mid-90s though.

-> And getting a lot of use by you.

 RH> Not as much as it used to, unfortunately.

Will the colder weather help?


-> Ours has come out of the smoker in recent years. Last year it was smoked
-> wings that had been in the freezer eaten at a rest stop on our way up to
-> NY. Had a proper (leftovers) dinner the next day at Steve's sister's
-> home.

 RH> A smoker sounds even better.

We've had one of some sort or other since we lived in HI.

->  RH> The wet edge.  We were supposed to get that, but the storm shifted.
->  RH> Rhode Island got the wind.

-> Good riddance, Irene!

 RH> Don't come back and see us sometime!  And take your little sister
 RH> Katia with you!

Lee gave us a lot of rain, some tornados and near misses but is keeping
Katia out to sea.
