 RH>> My youngest sister was long out of diapers before I got married.
 RH>> IIRC, Steve had an old tee shirt that I used; I still use them, or
 RH>> microfiber cloths.
 NB>> There were fewer of you, and closer together in age as well...  She's
 NB>> at least twelve years older than her baby brother, maybe thirteen or
 NB>> so. So he might have been only out of diapers for a year or two when
 NB>> she got married...  :)

 RH> And thus, the source of old diapers.

Exactly.   They hadn't already been used up or tossed, so there would be
some to snag...  ;)

 NB>>> So, the net result might be about the same storage area, just
 NB>>> differently configured, then...?
 RH>> There is more, we only have 2 drawers in our current kitchen with the
 RH>> cabnetry that's in place. We added a couple more when we bought the
 RH>> butler but that's going with us. So, we will gain some drawer space.
 NB>> Ah.  That is always a good thing.  :)  Will you keep the butler loaded
 NB>> as it is, or change that around as well...?

 RH> We've not worked that out yet.

Figure it out once you are there, trying to figure out where everything
goes... ;)

 RH>> Yes, that will be the fun/frustrating part of the move. But, we've
 RH>> done it quite a few times before so it's not a new experience. (G)
 NB>> Nope, just adds yet another to the list of different places where
 NB>> things aren't QUITE the same any more...  ;)

 RH> So that we look for the potato masher in the place where it was 3
 RH> moves ago, and it's been replaced since but the eye still looks for
 RH> the old one. That happens with different things, believe it or not.
 
Oh, I'm sure...  :)  Not at all surprising... :)

 RH>> Yes, we were in TX, Frankfurt and Berlin when our girls were about
 RH>> the same age as my sister was when she pulled the berry escapade.
 NB>> A lot less opportunity for unsupervised berrying... ;)

 RH> Not too many berries found in urban areas or military housing
 RH> settlements. They did visit grandparents in some summers but the
 RH> berry patches around my folk's house were all gone by the time the
 RH> girls got old enough to get into berry picking. I think they did some
 RH> at Don's tho, but no messes made.

Probably on their best behavior, since they were visiting...  :)
