 RH>> Yes, and be able to furnish the tape as well. We bought a box of it
 RH>> at Staples and used about a dozen rolls out of the, IIRC, 36.
 NB>> Hmmm.... that sounds like Christmas presents to the girls, too... ;)

 RH> I doubt we'll do much for them this year; I think they'll understand.
 RH> Maybe send a gift card and ask they each buy something the whole
 RH> family can enjoy.

I was mostly kidding about sending rolls of tape for Christmas... but
we've been known to do that sort of practical gifting..  ;)  You
certainly have enough to do on the unpacking etc to not really have time
to make your normal specialties... :)  A gift card for the family does
have a good sound to it, this year...  ;)
 
 NB>>> If it's worth putting the effort into, someone can probably get
 NB>>> it nicely cleaned out, then...  :)
 RH>> Somebody with time on their hands and elbow grease to do the job.
 RH>> Meanwhile, it has been used a couple of times already.
 NB>> So, not too dirty to use, just not what you wanted to have in your
 NB>> kitchen...  ;)

 RH> Basically, yes. Fridge and dishwasher are relatively new but they will
 RH> be replaced in time with our choices of each.
 
Will you wait for them to die (hopefully reasonably gracefully), or
replace sooner than that...?

 RH>> Hopefully not too long a down hill slope. Steve just found the
 RH>> corelle so once he digs it out, we can eat off of it, instead of
 RH>> paper or foam.
 NB>> Progress... :)

 RH> Yes, and I got some more unpacking done today. Still haven't found
 RH> the box of bread crumbs, rice, other grains.
 
Gotta be there somewhere...  (G)

 RH>> Steve is kicking me out the door every Tuesday for my QoV group. (G)
 NB>> Good for him.  :)

 RH> It's a much needed sanity break. I usually end up doing some teaching
 RH> as well as sewing and learning from others.

And also gives you some of your usual structure to balance the craziness
of the move...  :)
 
 RH>> Very needful in this case. Delivering a couple of fruit baskets
 RH>> on behalf of the American Legion post.
 NB>> Nice.  :)

 RH> One went to a family that had a death, other went to a member who had
 RH> surgery.

And I'm sure they were much appreciated.  :)

 RH>> Yes, and sometimes with a shovel it all into the box, deal with
 RH>> it on the other end sort.
 NB>> Sometimes that makes sense to do it that way... you might rue it
 NB>> later, but you'll have a better idea on the other end where things
 NB>> need to go, anyway... ;)

 RH> Yes, eventually. I found the rack for, and most of my cutting boards
 RH> so they're up in at least a temporary location.

Until you figure out the best permanent location..  :)
 
 RH> Just have a bit more to do before the cleaning team and carpet
 RH> cleaners come over next week. But, a lot to do on this end and took
 RH> time out today for final Christmas choir rehersal. Went up to the (old)
 RH> house afterward, also visited with a couple of former neighbors.

Is everything moved now...?  One of the nice things about moving locally
is that you don't have to lose contact with your former neighbors...  :)

ttyl       neb

... For real sponge cake, borrow all ingredients.
