Hi Nancy,

 NB> related  RH>> to who gets interesting. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Especially when the generations start overlapping...  ;)

 RH> That makes it interesting. My cousins on Dad's side were all older
 RH> than me, the closest were 9 years older. Some of them had kid the ages
 RH> of my younger siblings so they (kids) were closer cousins than the
 RH> parents.

 NB> On my mother's side, my grandma's cousin was more Mommy's age, and
 NB> Mommy's paternal cousin was more my age... And my aunt's youngest son
 NB> is younger than my son... I lent her some of my maternity clothes for
 NB> that pregnancy...  lots of fun... :)

A fun time for tracing the family lines. (G)

 NB>  NB>> I now have a cousin that lives in CA (her husband ended up being
 NB>  NB>> stationed at the Navy base there, long-term, and they set down
 NB> roots),  NB>> and some of my sister's kids ended up going out there
 NB> for work... I  NB>> only see them when they come east for whatever...
 NB> :)

 RH> Yes, the family scatters. My dad's brother had a big send off when his
 RH> son went to Viet Nam--he made a chowder in a pot so big it was cooked
 RH> on an outdoor fireplace. IIRC, most of Dad's family was there, and for
 RH> the get together when my cousin came home a year later.

 NB> Things like that can bring the scattered family back together, if only
 NB> for a little while.  :)

In some instances, more than weddings and funerals.


 NB>  NB>> Claxton cakes made it to our store, too... I saw them last
 NB> shopping  NB>> trip... they aren't the worst thing, just not the best,
 NB> either...  NB>> Sometimes Wegmans has a pretty nice one available, but
 NB> I haven't seen  NB>> any this year yet..

 RH> I saw a bunch of them into Lowe's tonight. I'd rather get the Southern
 RH> Supreme, but that's personal preference. Guess I'll have to get a
 RH> Wegman's one at some point to compare, tho.

 NB> The Claxton seem to be ubiquitous...  :)   They aren't horrible, just
 NB> not as nice as one would like...  :)

Too sticky sweet for my tastes--makes my teeth itch. (G)



 NB>  RH>> We've got boxes all over the living room, some in other rooms as
 NB> well.  RH>> The storage unit is getting full but I can see now that
 NB> progress is  RH>> being made. We needed some room to maneuver boxes
 NB> and other stuff so  RH>> we've been trying to get a lot of the non
 NB> essentials over to the
 NB>  RH>> storage unit for now.
 NB>  NB>> It's a shuffling act... :)

 RH> Shuffling and juggling.

You're not just whistling "Dixie' there!  I took a break from packing
today as my elbow started hurting from pulling the tape gun so much over
the past few days.

 NB> And now you should have closed, and be able to move directly...  :)
 NB> Still will be lots of shuffling and juggling, but with more longterm
 NB> progress..  ;)

A few have gone over but Steve wanted to get some work taken care of
while the place was relatively empty. He should wind that up by Monday
night or so, then the boxes will go over as fast as we can load the car,
drive over, unload the car, return and repeat until finished.

 NB>  RH>> Starting next Thursday, tho, we will be able to
 NB>  RH>> take things directly to the house.
 NB>  NB>> I know that will be a lot easier...  :)  Getting shorter... :)

 RH> Only about 37 hours away now. I was out a good bit of today, trying to
 RH> finish Fido before it backs up too much on me.

 NB> That's always a challenge...  (G)

Always. but we're closed now. Got a nice kitchen knife as a present from
our realter--a serrated utility one.
