Hi Nancy,

 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.

 NB> Busy day.  :)  Meanwhile, you were unpacking and sorting, I imagine...

Trying to--I found some old sliders so used them to move book shelves in
the sewing room into place. Then I unpacked 8 boxes of books and shelved
them. Found a few more kitchen things and put them away too.

 NB> some  RH>> time on the curtains, etc.
 NB>  NB>> You could reduce the expense (maybe) by making them yourself...
 NB> 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.

 NB> It's the buying the fabric part that the maybe was referring to... :)

The right one will be found in due time. I'm debating maybe a blue and
yellow (provincial) print (not specific fabric yet) or something else.
I'm also debating if I want to do cafe type curtains or full ones--I've
got a door window, a bay window and a small window over the sink to
cover.


 NB>  RH>> Maybe some, but the bread crumbs are from my home made bread.
 NB> But,  RH>> I've got the blender and more crusts in the freezer so I
 NB> can make  RH>> more--when I get the time.
 NB>  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.

 NB> Just enough to be out of the way enough to function... while you find
 NB> the rest of it, and juggle mentally where everything should go... ;)

And right now it's in a bit more of a mess as Steve is doing some wall
repair over the stove before putting in the new microwave. All will be
settled, eventually.

 NB>  RH>> Wake Forest has 2 groups but it's a nation wide organisation.
 NB>  RH>> There are national conventions/conferences but I've not gone to
 NB> any.  NB>> I meant, yes, in WF, or at least the general area...  I had
 NB> gathered  NB>> that it was a national group otherwise.  The latter
 NB> question was if  NB>> the Wednesday group was also a QofV or
 NB> 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.

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

I don't know why they have the 2 groups at the senior center; it was an
on going thing before I joined the Tuesday group.


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

 NB> That probably about sums it up..  (G)

As long as it's sleep like last night's, about 10 hours and only one
during the night wake up. Night before it was about 3 hours, and up
about 8-10 times.

 NB>  NB>> Bit by bit, it all comes home, and one can figure out how to
 NB> 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.

 NB> That sounds convenient, and appropriate...  ;)

There's also a bit more space on the counter top for something else, as
yet undecided what. Very convenient tho, when emptying the dishwasher.

 NB>  NB>>> once it resurfaces...  ;)
 NB>  RH>> Once we get schedules co-ordinated--she works down in Raleigh.
 NB>  NB>> Maybe she could swing by to pick it up sometime on her way home
 NB>  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.

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

We'll work it out but she will have it eventually.

Catch you later,
