 RH>>>> Wegman's might get that way eventually.
 RH>>> Time will tell, especially as the older generation dies off.
 NB>>> We're already into at least the fourth generation... not sure
 NB>>> what will happen down the line, but there's at least some
 NB>>> interest in the next generation, from what I've seen...
 RH>> And hopefully the family values will remain into the next generation.
 NB>> So far, so good...  ;)  One can certainly hope.  :)

 RH> Doing better than some other families in the retail business.

Rochester has other family "dynasties" in retail business... there's one
just down the street from us... Hunt's Hardware, started by I.S. (I
think) Hunt, and passed down to his sons, to theirs, to at least the
fourth (maybe the fifth) generation and now to their sons...  Dave Hunt
is at least my age, and his son will be carrying on things when Dave
retires soon.  They didn't expand into a chain, just kept on with the
neighborhood hardware store...  they did, for a while, take over another
one in a different city neighborhood, but I think that they had trouble
keeping that one going... Hasn't changed much at all in the years since
we bought our house and started going there for the little stuff... :)

 NB>>> You particularly don't want a jar of strawberry jam with only
 NB>>> a sandwich worth or less in the bottom opened and not being
 NB>>> finished off...  ;)
 RH>> No, you want enough to make that sandwich or on that piece of toast.
 RH>> Also saves room in the fridge. (G)
 NB>> Exactly.  :)

 RH> We're using up bits and pieces of open things, making a bit more room
 RH> in the fridge. Used up the bread & butter pickles, still have the dills
 RH> and beets open. The remaining from the open jar of pickled okra went
 RH> home with a friend last week.
 
Give you some space to be able to shuffle stuff while you are getting
used to the new fridge... :)
 
 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.
 NB>> Juggling life... always fun...  ;)

 RH> Yes, today, a rainy day was spent down in Raleigh for a doctor's
 RH> appointment and then some shopping. Steve also brought a couple more
 RH> loads over from the storage unit, says there's only a couple of loads
 RH> left.
 
Progress, indeed.   :)

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

 RH> That's the intent anyway. I can fit pieces into the jig saw puzzle
 RH> better if I have all the pieces. Thought I had all the cook books out
 RH> but Steve found another box of them tonight.

Oops...  ;)  Any in there that you'd have gone searching for later...?

ttyl       neb

... Just bring me my chocolate, and s-l-o-w-l-y back away.
