Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> Sounds interesting, if we lived up that way, I'd be shopping
 NB>  RH>> Wegman's all the time.
 NB>  NB>> I'm sure you would be.   :)

 RH> At least I have a Whole Foods in this area I can shop at. (G)

 NB> And I don't.  ;)

So, we both have a decent store, but you are closer to Wegman's
probably, than we are to WF. We need to go down to Raleigh, about a 20
mile drive, to get to WF.

 RH> She actually should have quit some years before she did as her

 NB> She was probably hoping that next year would be a little easier... and

Or for her to convince Dad it was too painful for her to keep doing so.
What actually stopped them was Hurricane Irene blowing thru the area 3
years ago, destroying the crops. Otherwise, I'm sure Mom & Dad would
have gone up there that year and the next.


 RH> Don brought some home from closing out Boy Scout camp
 RH> each summer also but he doesn't know how to put it up properly so a
 RH> lot got freezer burn. Mom and Dad still used it tho.

 NB> It probably wasn't as fresh as it could have been, either... so not as
 NB> good for putting up and keeping the quality up...  :)

Probably not, but they put it up and ate it.

 NB> after all..  30s  NB>> and 40s for highs this week, pretty much, with
 NB> sun expected on the  NB>> colder days... not that hard to take for
 NB> December...  :)

 RH> We're looking for temps in the 50s the rest of the week, with rain
 RH> probably Saturday afternoon. By then, most all of the big stuff should
 RH> be moved so hopefully it won't be a bother. Still, better rain than
 RH> snow.

 NB> Hopefully neither... or at least getting everything in before the rain
 NB> starts... Light snow wouldn't get things as wet, of course... ;)

We don't really want snow, may have some rain showers Saturday but the
big stuff is going over on Friday.

 NB>  NB>> Save some weight for moving... and can always replace them in
 NB> the  NB>> cupboard after the move...  ;)

 RH> That's the plan. I'm going to run the dishwasher tonight, then we
 RH> start eating off disposables until we get moved. The corelle gets
 RH> packed tomorrow.

 NB> Definitely getting nearer the end of the job now...  :)

One end, but the unpacking end hasn't started yet.
