Ärende: fruitcake was: Sunday
=============================
Hi Nancy,

 NB> before making  RH>> a trip up north. By then, the fruit cakes will be
 NB> long gone.
 NB>  NB>> Undoubtedly.  They don't always even last until Christmas, and
 NB>  NB>> are gone shortly after if they should happen to...  :)   Another
 NB>  NB>> year.... ;)

 RH> For all the jokes about them, they are bought and eaten.

 NB> Some are indubitably as bad as the jokes...  but a good one is quite
 NB> enjoyable...  :)

Like the Southern Supreme--it beat any other commercial one I've had,
ever.

 NB>  NB>> Dunno if they are taking their cues from Whole Foods, or if they
 NB> are  NB>> just coming up with things on their own... could be getting
 NB> ideas from  NB>> other places, but might well have done it even if
 NB> nobody else was.

 RH> Probably both Wegman's and Whole Foods play off of each other in
 RH> development and marketing of new products to some extent. Seems that
 RH> way anyway.

 NB> Possible.  Might just be independently going down similar paths...  ;)

And may or may not be aware of each other's doings.

 NB> cabinet/cupboard  RH>> shelves. Most of my ceramic & pyrex is packed
 NB> up, a good bit of the  RH>> pantry is as well.
 NB>  NB>> That's when you start to realize you are making some progress...
 NB> ;)

 RH> It's getting there--got 9 (almost 10) boxes packed in a bit over an
 RH> hour today with some help. A lot of them were books from the computer
 RH> room but a couple of boxes of kitchen goods, including the tagine.

 NB> Definite progress..  :)

More done today, and I can really see the end coming up relatively soon.


 RH> It's just amazing that people don't seem to care how a place is left
 RH> sometimes. There was a bit of effort to clean in some areas but the
 RH> more difficult spots were either neglected or superficially cleaned.

 NB> Maybe they don't see some things... and after all, they do have the
 NB> little ones to make things a bit more challenging to keep up with...

 NB>  NB>> :) And, you did get a new stove out of their slovenliness... ;)

 RH> That we did. (G)

 NB> A nice silver lining...  (G)

Definatly!


 NB>  NB>> Fill the box, load it in the car, fill the box, load it in the
 NB> car...  NB>> when the car is full drive it over, unload into the
 NB> house, return,  NB>> repeat...  (G)  Has a certain rhythm to it...
 NB> (G)

 RH> Can't load it in the car when the car is at the new house and you're
 RH> filling at the old one. Filled boxes get set out of the line of
 RH> traffic until Steve comes home and loads the car.

 NB> Point...  a slightly different rhythm there...  :)

But a workable one, now that there's space to put filled boxes.

 NB>  NB>>> And probably she got you a fairly good quality one, too,
 NB> then... :)  RH>> Yes, it's one that will probably outlast us. (G)
 NB>  NB>> And you'll think of her every time you use it, like as not...
 NB> ;)  NB>> Have to make sure your girls know where you got that one
 NB> from...  :)

 RH> We will, I think Deborah has met her & Rachel will eventually. A
 RH> couple of my QoV friends had a tour of the house after the meeting
 RH> today--they like whats been done and the potential for what is to be
 RH> done.

 NB> Showing it off is part of the fun of a new house...  ;)

We will show it off in January or February with an Open House/ House
Blessing event. By then most all of the boxes will be unpacked and
stowed.
