Hi Nancy,

 NB> of them... :)  It's an odd cross  NB>> between small town and big city
 NB> feel... which I noticed right away  NB>> when we moved here from
 NB> Willow Grove (outside Philly)...

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

 NB> That happens here, too..  it all depends on what your other spheres of
 NB> interest happen to be... we run into people all around town that we
 NB> know or that know us, from one thing or another..  :)  Sometimes in
 NB> the
 NB> strangest places..  :)  I've had the proprietor of a Asian buffet in
 NB> Henrietta recognize me outside a different Chinese restaurant in
 NB> Irondequoit where I'd gone with a friend... a good 15 miles away...
 NB> that's pretty small townish...  (G)

Did you recognise him, out of his restaurant? (G)

 NB>  NB>> arrangements get to show if they work or not...  And the pantry
 NB>  NB>> needed the rest of the stuff to be found before you could quite
 NB> get  NB>> it settled...  ;)

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

 NB> More space, so the option of putting more in there...  And the jigsaw
 NB> puzzle continues... ;)

"This will fit here, but nore practical to have it there" sort of thing.


 NB>  NB>> vicious cycle, because then there would be all that extra space
 NB> on  NB>> the shelves that obviously needed more books, and then more
 NB> would be  NB>> bought than would fit, and on it went...   :)

 RH> We could get into a cycle like that but have avoided it so far. If we
 RH> were in school yet, we'd be adding to the collection.

 NB> School books are unavoidable until one gets out of school.. We're not
 NB> buying as many books as we once did, but there's still always at least
 NB> a few each year...

We're not buying many books now but Steve got several last fall at a
conference. They got packed up a couple of months later. (G)


 RH> We added a small book on honey (new) and a Raleigh Women's Club
 RH> cook book (used) today; the latter may or may not stay. I want to
 RH> look thru it more to see if it is a keeper or not.

 NB> That sort could have real gems in it, or might just be more
 NB> run-of-the-mill... I have some that were given me, or that I bought to
 NB> support an organization, because either I or the giver knew people in
 NB> the group... I'd probably keep those just for the connection, even if
 NB> there wasn't anything particularly useful in them... and then, you
 NB> never really know whether something that seemed not so great ends up
 NB> being
 NB> just what you were looking for later..  :)

I've found some good recipes just thumbing thru books I've had for a
while (bought new or given). I'll keep this one for a bit, see if
there's anything that strikes my fancy. Some possibilities so far, but
I've not finished looking thru the book yet.

Catch you later,
