Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> Yes, and he had just finished his Santa season.
 NB>  NB>> A nice chance meeting...  :)

 RH> Yes, I agree. WF still has a lot of the small town feel to it we've
 RH> noticed. Having both grown up in small towns, it's a familiar feel.

 NB> The neighborhoods in Rochester tend to have a small town feel to them,
 NB> too, if one tries at all to be a part of them... :)  It's an odd cross
 NB> between small town and big city feel... which I noticed right away
 NB> when we moved here from Willow Grove (outside Philly)...

Neighborhoods usually do develop a sense of community to them. It's nice
tho, when those outside your neighborhood know more than just your face.

 NB> become  RH>> familiar enough not to forget it when I travel. (G) Same
 NB> with the  RH>> pantry.
 NB>  NB>> It was arranged, but not settled into memory yet...  :)

 RH> Semi arrainged, for both the fridge and pantry. Fridge was more so but
 RH> still have some tweaking to do. Pantry will be a "pull (almost)
 RH> everything out and put back in, in different spots" type of deal.

 NB> Now you are in the trying to use it phase of things... where the
 NB> arrangements get to show if they work or not...  And the pantry needed
 NB> the rest of the stuff to be found before you could quite get it
 NB> settled...  ;)

The pantry is slowly coming into shape. There are a couple more shelves
but also more things in it that we didn't keep in the old one I've got
to work around.

 NB>  NB>> We make room for books... but not always on shelves...

 RH> We've had them in boxes in different places but most end up shelved
 RH> eventually.

 NB> My father was like that... The house was filled with bookcases filled
 NB> with books... When he ran out of bookshelf space, he'd go out and get
 NB> more bookshelves, or make some...  I used to joke that it was a
 NB> vicious cycle, because then there would be all that extra space on the
 NB> shelves
 NB> that obviously needed more books, and then more would be bought that
 NB> would fit, and on it went...   :)

We could get into a cycle like that but have avoided it so far. If we
were in school yet, we'd be adding to the collection. We added a small
book on honey (new) and a Raleigh Women's Club cook book (used) today;
the latter may or may not stay. I want to look thru it more to see if it
is a keeper or not.

Catch you later,
