You never know... I've seen somewhat of a reversion to cloth diapers,
although usually the prefold type... probably depends on what sorts of
influences are working on the couple... ;)
 
 NB>> than you two are likely to...  And five people probably use more
 NB>> hot water for showers and other things as well... so maybe...  :)

 RH> Yes, so our utilities costs should go down.
 
Possibly....  time will tell... :)

Do you have enough prep and cook room in the kitchen now...?  ;)  I'm
guessing that'll end up being done after you move...  :)

 RH>> Mulberries probably would have been just as bad; there are some

 NB>> We had a white mulberry tree on the church property we used to have...
 NB>> that was messy, but not nearly so staining as the dark ones... :)

 RH> The dark ones are really bad but thankfully they don't stay around

Like many of the smaller tree fruits...  But they taste so good... ;)

 RH>> it but she got off with nothing but a good "fussing at" by me, and Dad.
 NB>> Maybe if you'd sent her off with a bucket after the first incident,

 NB>> might have eaten lots, and not brought home much to share... but maybe
 NB>> there would have been less of a mess.... ;)

 RH> I might have suggested it but don't know, this far removed. She may

 RH> picking the berries before she came inside, the second time.

This long ago, what sticks best in your mind is the mess it made that
you ended up having to clean up, twice...!  ;)  Just a tasty snack, as
far as she was concerned....  ;)
