 NB>> Progress...

 RH> Bit by bit, we are getting there. Today was a sunny, semi warm day so
 RH> Steve spent part of it doing outside work--taking stuff to the water
 RH> heater room was part of it. He also started assembling his work bench
 RH> and rounded up the recyclables (a lot of cardboard!) for tomorrow's
 RH> trash pick up. He's putting a shelf above the laundry machines now.

Busy day.  :)  Meanwhile, you were unpacking and sorting, I imagine...
 
 NB>>> It all adds up to some major expenditures, doesn't it..  ;)
 RH>> A smoking credit card! (G) That's why I'm going to hold off for some
 RH>> time on the curtains, etc.
 NB>> You could reduce the expense (maybe) by making them yourself... but
 NB>> then, that takes time and energy, too...  ;)

 RH> I'm planning on it, but still have to buy the fabric. We were in
 RH> Jo-Ann's the other day and I didn't even look for curtain fabric but
 RH> we did get crates to stow the linens in.

It's the buying the fabric part that the maybe was referring to... :)
 
 RH>> Maybe some, but the bread crumbs are from my home made bread. But,
 RH>> I've got the blender and more crusts in the freezer so I can make
 RH>> more--when I get the time.
 NB>> At least the blender is unpacked...  ;)

 RH> As are most of the other small appliances. Still need to get to other
 RH> kitchen stuff so I don't want to do too much serious stowage yet, only
 RH> to have to redo it when other stuff ins found.

Just enough to be out of the way enough to function... while you find
the rest of it, and juggle mentally where everything should go... ;)
 
 RH>> Wake Forest has 2 groups but it's a nation wide organisation.
 RH>> There are national conventions/conferences but I've not gone to any.
 NB>> I meant, yes, in WF, or at least the general area...  I had gathered
 NB>> that it was a national group otherwise.  The latter question was if
 NB>> the Wednesday group was also a QofV or unaffiliated...  Do the local
 NB>> groups do anything together...?

 RH> The Wednesday group is a mixed one; it meets at the North Wake Senior
 RH> Center. Some work on QoV projects, others do their own thing. So far
 RH> the Tuesday and Wednesday groups haven't done anything in common to
 RH> the best of my knowledge.

Is there much overlap for the two groups, then...?  It sounds like they
have somewhat different purposes...  :)  With quilting as a common
interest, that is... ;)

 RH>> I do need a bit of down time every so often. (G)
 NB>> And where are you expecting to find that rare commodity, pray
 NB>> tell...?  ;)
 RH> When I'm asleep?

That probably about sums it up..  (G)

 RH>> Steve is thinking elsewhere but I need to see how things settle
 RH>> otherwise in the kitchen. He brought over more today, including the
 RH>> KA, the George Foreman and a number of other small appliances.
 NB>> Bit by bit, it all comes home, and one can figure out how to sort out
 NB>> the puzzle...  ;)

 RH> That bit is solved; the tools are cleared away and Steve agrees that's
 RH> the best spot for the cutting board rack. Right under the cabinet with
 RH> dishes and glassware & above the dishwasher.

That sounds convenient, and appropriate...  ;)
 
 RH>>> That is a good thing. I have a cook book I need to get to the
 RH>>> one neighbor but it got packed before I was able to get it over
 RH>>> to her.  
 NB>>> The joys of packing... :)   At least it won't be too much hassle
 NB>>> (and a good excuse for another visit besides) to get it to her
 NB>>> once it resurfaces...  ;)
 RH>> Once we get schedules co-ordinated--she works down in Raleigh.
 NB>> Maybe she could swing by to pick it up sometime on her way home
 NB>> from work...  ;)

 RH> Her social life is down there too so we have to work around that. But,
 RH> sooner or later, it will be passed on.

Or maybe you could have her over for a meal, once the dust settles a
little...  :)
