 RH>> And thus, the source of old diapers.
 NB>> Exactly.   They hadn't already been used up or tossed, so there
 NB>> would be some to snag...  ;)

 RH> I don't know what Mom did with her old ones; they may have been too
 RH> worn out to save.

And there was enough time after the last child that she could have worn
them out herself in the reuses...  :)

 RH>>> we bought the butler but that's going with us. So, we will gain
 RH>>> some drawer space.  
 NB>>> Ah.  That is always a good thing.  :)  Will you keep the butler
 NB>>> loaded as it is, or change that around as well...?
 RH>> We've not worked that out yet.
 NB>> Figure it out once you are there, trying to figure out where
 NB>> everything goes... ;)

 RH> Yes, that will be the major challenge of the move, as is typical.

A challenge you have met more than once...  ;)

 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.
 NB>> Oh, I'm sure...  :)  Not at all surprising... :)

 RH> The fun of a military career.

Or of any peripatetic life...  :)
 
 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
 RH>> some at Don's tho, but no messes made.
 NB>> Probably on their best behavior, since they were visiting...  :)

 RH> Not with their Uncle Don--they could just be themselves. They helped
 RH> him decorate his Christmas tree one year; he gave them candy canes
 RH> but admitted they were from the year before. The girls ate them
 RH> anyways. (G) 

They're better when they are chewy, anyway..  ;)  I've kept candy canes
for multiple years for the express purpose of decorating the tree... 
When they got old enough to eat, they got swopped out for new... (G)
