 RH> Trying to--I found some old sliders so used them to move book shelves

My first mental image was of those little hamburgers-in-a-little-bun...
which quickly resolved into the proper type of sliders...  :)

 RH> in the sewing room into place. Then I unpacked 8 boxes of books and
 RH> shelved them. Found a few more kitchen things and put them away too.

That's good progress, 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... :)

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

Depends on how exposed the windows are, and how much sunlight you want
to make its way in through them...  ;)  I tend to go for minimal
treatment, myself...  :) 

 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... ;)

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

The fun of moving... and the fun of being in the throes thereof...  (G)
But doing things in a proper order makes for better settling in the long
run...  ;) 

 NB>>> The latter question was if the Wednesday group was also a QofV
 NB>>> or unaffiliated...  Do the local 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... ;)

 RH> I don't know why they have the 2 groups at the senior center; it was
 RH> an on going thing before I joined the Tuesday group.
 
Maybe the Wednesday group was the original one, then, and the QofV a
spin-off particularly for doing those projects, and to affiliate with
the national group...  :)
 
 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?
 NB>> That probably about sums it up..  (G)

 RH> As long as it's sleep like last night's, about 10 hours and only one
 RH> during the night wake up. Night before it was about 3 hours, and up
 RH> about 8-10 times.
 
True, the former (second night) seems more restful.  Hopefully your time
up in NY will give you some chance for extra down time, between what
needs doing there.  Prayers, thoughts and hugs continue...  :)

 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...  ;)

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

Maybe one should (try to) keep it clear, for such purposes...??  ;)

 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.
 RH>> But, 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...  :)

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

And it's not like there's a pressing time crunch for it... :)
