Hi Nancy,

 RH> And, each person sets his or her own priorities. I won't be remodeling
 RH> that kitchen as it's pretty much agreed that my younger brother will
 RH> get the house.

 NB> Indeed.  :)  And it will be his decisions as to what should/could be
 NB> done or what should just be left alone...

I suspect things will pretty much stay as they are now. (G)


 NB>  RH>> I still think about having a kitchen of my own design
 NB>  RH>> but it's less likely to become a reality now.
 NB>  NB>> You never know...  :)

 RH> I know, but looking realistically...........also heard on the news
 RH> tonight that housing prices are beginning to rise again because of a
 RH> shortage. People are snapping up pre-exsisting homes; some home
 RH> sellers are having lotteries to determine who gets to buy their home.
 RH> Go figure, prices were down while we were in school; now that we're
 RH> done, the prices are going up again.

 NB> That sort of thing tends to go in cycles, some quicker than others.  A
 NB> few more homes on the market, and the buyers have more options...  :)

I know, just have to see if the right thing comes along at the right
time for us.

 RH> Still, I might be able to do some
 RH> changes to a rental kitchen, provided we've a co-operative landlord.

 NB> Or to a manse kitchen, with a cooperative church...  :)

The Southern Baptist Convention usually doesn't provide a parsonage or
manse. Most churches give the pastor a housing allowance and let him buy
a house to build up some equity. The pastors aren't moved by decisions
"from above" every few years so a pastor could stay with a church 30
years or more. Having a house of his own allows him to have a place to
live in when he retires, sometimes it is paid up. OTOH, if he had a
place provided by the church, when he retired and a new pastor/family
came to the church, the older one would have no place to live. The SBC
Annuity Board decided in the early 1980s to encourage pastors to buy
their own homes--smart idea.

 NB> working on  RH>> a grand kid's Christmas present for Christmas, 2011.
 NB> He'd put some eggs  RH>> on to steam, then the embroidery machine
 NB> needed attention...........  NB>> OOPS!   ;)

 RH> That was a big one. But, I found a replacement pot fairly soon
 RH> afterward, and at a decent price. The embroidery project was more of a
 RH> problem to work out than finding a replacement pot.

 NB> I'd imagine so.  :)

It was resolved and the present got to the grandchild for Christmas.
