Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> State--North Carolina. If it were the city, I'd have written

 NB> >That's what I was thinking, but it could have been a typo...

 RH> Quite possible, especially if I'm typing fast.

 NB> And that's why I checked...  ;)

Not untypical for me; I've got a number of projects going most days.
After I'm done with fido, I'll probably either pick up the quilt I'm
doing some hand work on or a book, either the Michener one I'm reading
or one on quilts.

 NB> the store myself  NB>> other than sitting in the shop... where I could

 RH> So maybe we'll just keep going to the Brockport Wegman's.

 NB> If you are buying somewhat perishable stuff, it's probably better to

 NB> things are, more or less, at Brockport...  Stopping at Williamsport

Depends on if we need/want a break or not. Generally we're either
pushing on to NY so it means several hours more on the road or going
down to our friends in McClure, PA. We're not that far from them at that
point. We've deliberately made the time, a couple of trips, to stop at
the Steam Valley Inn (Trout Run exit) for supper on our way north. Good
food and huge portions at a decent price. We'll hit the Brockport
Wegman's either on the way in to wherever we're staying or while we're
still in western NY. It was there, in October, when I realised I'd lost
my keys.

 NB>  NB>> All's well that ends well... ;)  Never heard of Stuff Back...
 NB>  NB>> apparently a service to return missing items...?

 RH> I think it's Stuff Bak but yes, they do try to return the lost. IIRC,
 RH> Steve said they average about a 75-80% rate of successful return. When
 RH> you join, they send you labels for your things (and you can buy more)
 RH> with an ID number and their 1-800 number. You register your stuff on
 RH> line and can amend the list at any time. Some things they return with
 RH> a reward, we added a bit more for the return of the keys.

 NB> So, as long as the service recognizes you as a member when the finder
 NB> calls it in, everything should be fine...  :)

Hopefully no problem next time. Their week end answering service was a
bit less than helpful which made me appreciate having the WF public
library tab on the ring as a back up.
