Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> And hopefully the family values will remain into the next

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

 NB> Rochester has other family "dynasties" in retail business... there's
 NB> one just down the street from us... Hunt's Hardware, started by I.S.
 NB> had trouble keeping that one going... Hasn't changed much at all in
 NB> the years since we bought our house and started going there for the
 NB> little stuff... :)

Nice to see businesses staying in the family like that. We were at both
of the big box hardware stores earlier tonight but Steve has also gone
to the small one in downtown WF various times.

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

 NB> Give you some space to be able to shuffle stuff while you are getting
 NB> used to the new fridge... :)

That's the intent. Used up a jar of green olives last night but put some
left over pea soup (tonight) and broccoli salad (last night) into the
fridge. Also some baked potatoes, sweet and white, went in last night.


 NB> that could have  RH>> been spent unpacking.
 NB>  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.

 NB> Progress, indeed.   :)

Very much so in that it's cleared out now.

 NB>  RH>> We're going to get some, if not all, tomorrow. It'll add more
 NB> boxes to  RH>> the house but it'll help in the settling of things into
 NB> proper place.  NB>> Having it there in the house makes it easier
 NB> (somewhat) to find the  NB>> other things that go in a certain
 NB> 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.

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

But, of course! I will sort thru the cook books now that I have all of
them, and reshelve them in a more logical order.

Catch you later,
