Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> At least I have a Whole Foods in this area I can shop at. (G)
 NB>  NB>> And I don't.  ;)

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

 NB> Yup, we are much closer to (multiple) Wegmans...  ;)  Closest, and
 NB> regular one to go to, is about 3-4 miles away... with at least 4 or 5,
 NB> maybe more, within a 10 mile radius...  But then, we do live in
 NB> Wegmans' home town...  :)

Yes, and they are gradually expanding out. Whole Foods is based in
Austin, TX but the first one I was in, was in Las Vegas.


 NB>  NB>> She was probably hoping that next year would be a little
 NB> easier... and  NB>> so it took a while for her to really decide it was
 NB> too much trouble...

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

 NB> That too...  And as I said, old habits are hard to break... sometimes
 NB> it takes something catastrophic to break the pattern...  :)

She broke her hip in the summer of 2012 and never got back into the
kitchen after she came home from the hospital/rehab. By then, the
dementia was getting more pronounced so she probably wouldn't have known
what to do.

 NB>  RH>> Don brought some home from closing out Boy Scout camp
 NB>  RH>> each summer also but he doesn't know how to put it up properly
 NB> so a  RH>> lot got freezer burn. Mom and Dad still used it tho.
 NB>  NB>> It probably wasn't as fresh as it could have been, either... so
 NB> not  NB>> as good for putting up and keeping the quality up...  :)

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

 NB> Another habit... can't waste food...  :)

That was drilled into our heads!


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

 NB> So how did the move go...?   And did the weather cooperate for you?
 NB> :)


A nice day on Friday for moving the big stuff, rain on Saturday so we
did a lot of run around, nice on Sunday for a big push, with help from
our Life Group. The house on Pearce is just about empty now; the house
on Tacy is full of boxes, furniture, etc waiting to be organised.


 NB>  RH>> That's the plan. I'm going to run the dishwasher tonight, then
 NB> we  RH>> start eating off disposables until we get moved. The corelle
 NB> gets  RH>> packed tomorrow.
 NB>  NB>> Definitely getting nearer the end of the job now...  :)

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

 NB> Yup, now the real fun starts...  ;)

Has it ever! We've been adding our personal touches in hardware, extra
shelving for the pantry (which is now loaded) and other areas. Tomorrow
I'm going to lay down shelf liner, then start opening boxes and putting
things away, Just have to figure out what will go where.

Catch you later,
