 RH>>> Wegman's might get that way eventually.
 NB>>> Possibly.  Maybe not, at least as long as it's still a
 NB>>> family-owned business... :)
 RH>> Time will tell, especially as the older generation dies off.
 NB>> We're already into at least the fourth generation... not sure what
 NB>> will happen down the line, but there's at least some interest in the
 NB>> next generation, from what I've seen...

 RH> And hopefully the family values will remain into the next generation.

So far, so good...  ;)  One can certainly hope.  :)
 
 RH>>> Were you only allowed one open jar of jelly/jam at once & had to
 RH>>> use that up before opening another? We were--"use up the old
 RH>>> before you start the new" was also drilled into the brain. I
 RH>>> broke that when I got married but it took a while to do so.
 NB>>> No...  Daddy liked having some variety...  But one couldn't open
 NB>>> a new jar of the same variety/flavor without finishing up the
 NB>>> old jar...  :)
 RH>> That makes sense. You don't want 5 jars of strawberry jelly/jam or
 RH>> preserves open and no cherry preserves--they are both red.
 NB>> You particularly don't want a jar of strawberry jam with only a
 NB>> sandwich worth or less in the bottom opened and not being finished
 NB>> off...  ;)

 RH> No, you want enough to make that sandwich or on that piece of toast.
 RH> Also saves room in the fridge. (G)
 
Exactly.  :) 

 RH>> It's starting to settle in some areas, a long way from it in others.
 RH>> I would like to get my sewing room set up by mid January or so.
 NB>> Considering that you spend a large portion of your life in there, it
 NB>> should be a priority...  :)

 RH> So many other jobs tho, like trying to conquer an elusive leak in the
 RH> kitchen sink. Plus, other committments take away time that could have
 RH> been spent unpacking.

Juggling life... always fun...  ;)
 
 RH>>> Progress is being made, bit by bit. Got some Christmas lights
 RH>>> tonight as ours are buried in the storage unit.
 NB>>> Oh, right... the final frontier... (G)  Once you get the stuff
 NB>>> IN the  house unpacked, you've still got that storage unit of all
 NB>>> the stuff you didn't need so badly...  ;)
 RH>> Didn't need so bad or had to put up to create room. My main sewing
 RH>> machine and serger are over there.
 NB>> And probably buried under other stuff, so just grabbing them might not
 NB>> be that easy a job...  :)   But important to get, all the same...  :)

 RH> We're going to get some, if not all, tomorrow. It'll add more boxes to
 RH> the house but it'll help in the settling of things into proper place.

Having it there in the house makes it easier (somewhat) to find the
other things that go in a certain place... ;)  At least in theory... ;)

ttyl        neb

... What, it's Monday again? Didn't we have that *last* week?
