Hi Nancy,

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

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

 NB> One has to do some serious tracing to keep families straight.  ;)

And pay pretty close attention to who's parents are who's with
overlapping generations and names carried for multiple generations. Fun
times. (G)

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

 RH> In some instances, more than weddings and funerals.

 NB> Less formal than weddings, and generally with less angst than
 NB> funerals.

And a big pot of chowder both times as I recall. My younger brother is
supposed to, at some time, go out to WI to get the family chowder pot.
Don't know if he'll ever make any, Mom's copy of the recipe is somewhere
in the house but we don't know where.

 NB> Southern  RH>> Supreme, but that's personal preference. Guess I'll
 NB> have to get a  RH>> Wegman's one at some point to compare, tho.
 NB>  NB>> The Claxton seem to be ubiquitous...  :)   They aren't horrible,
 NB> just  NB>> not as nice as one would like...  :)

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

 NB> A read of the ingredients turned up, among all the sugars, HFCS...

BLEURGH! It won't enter my house!


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

 NB> I can imagine... I'm surprised your wrists weren't complaining as
 NB> well...

I've been wearing a light support on the left one almost constantly the
past couple of weeks, may have to go with the heavier duty one soon. The
right one is fine but it don't break as badly.

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

 RH> A few have gone over but Steve wanted to get some work taken care of
 RH> while the place was relatively empty. He should wind that up by Monday

 NB> That makes sense.  Some things are much easier before you actually
 NB> move in...  :)

Yes, and it gets them done sooner, rather than later. He said it looked
like the oven had never been cleaned, dishwasher was almost as bad and
fridge was bad, but not as bad as the first 2.

 RH> night or so, then the boxes will go over as fast as we can load the
 RH> car, drive over, unload the car, return and repeat until finished.

 NB> Probably over the course of a a few days...  :)

Yes, and it'll free up space here to continue packing.

 NB>  RH>> Only about 37 hours away now. I was out a good bit of today,
 NB> trying to  RH>> finish Fido before it backs up too much on me.
 NB>  NB>> That's always a challenge...  (G)

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

 NB> That's nice.  :)   Did he know you were into cooking, or is that his
 NB> standard gift...?

In this case, she knew we like to cook. She's also a friend, and member
of our church.
