Hi Nancy,

 RH> for crumbs and crutons earlier in the day but they were tough going
 RH> thru. This afternoon I cut up bell pepper, garlic and onion for shrimp
 RH> creole for supper. Yes, it was good. (G)

 NB> Worth the work, then.  :)

Very good, and going to be repeated, maybe at an echo picnic?


 NB>  RH>> The power stayed on but I've not gotten in the sewing time I
 NB> wanted.  RH>> I've been doing too many other things--laundry, Fido,
 NB> working on meals  RH>> and so forth. Maybe tomorrow I'll get back for
 NB> a bit. Yesterday I got  RH>> some preliminary work done on something
 NB> that won't take but a few  RH>> minutes to finish up.

 NB> So many conflicting priorities...  ;)

As usual. This morning a friend called and asked if I'd go shopping with
her today (She has 4 kids, so needed help corraling them.) so I said
yes. Because of the weather forecast, W-M was a zoo & a half, but Aldi's
was almost empty. Got home and made a quick chili for supper but didn't
get the machine sewing work done I'd intended to do while the light was
good. Tomorrow, maybe.

 NB>  NB>> Probably.  :)  Work shoes and dirty projects can leave their
 NB> stains  NB>> behind... part of the reason I use a red towel in our
 NB> downstairs
 NB>  NB>> bath... doesn't show the dirt as badly...  :)

 RH> Colors like navy and dark green work well too. (G) We've got a very
 RH> clay-ish soil and the wet ground means a lot of it comes inside. Have
 RH> to work in some lime and topsoil so we can grow veggies eventually.

 NB> Yup, all the darker colors hide a lot... except maybe light-colored
 NB> dirt... ;)   Now that you have your own place, you can justify
 NB> upgrading the soil for the garden, too..  :)

We have to do some cost figuring first. Right now, that's not as much of
a priority as getting some of the work done on the house, Steve will
install gutter caps this spring but will do a blind corner cabinet
modification shortly. He just ordered a kit that will convert that area
into a modified slide out.

 NB>  NB>> That could be nice...  and convenient... :)  Is that what he
 NB> does  NB>> for the company...?

 RH> Yes, so he's been quite busy this week. Got down to 7 at the airport
 RH> this morning, not sure what our low hit.

 NB> Pretty cold, to be sure.  Last night, on my way home from a meeting,
 NB> my car said that it was -4... Today the high got into the mid-20s,
 NB> though, so it felt almost like a heat wave..  ;)

We were in the low 40s today but tonight another storm is coming thru.
We got about 2" from the one yesterday, could get 4-8" from the incoming
one.

 NB> juggling any more.  NB>> Room to set up just what you want and not
 NB> have to keep shuffling
 NB>  NB>> during the cooking, eh...?

 RH> Still have to be a bit creative when doing multiple tasks but it
 RH> should settle out. I had to move things around on the counter to be
 RH> able to roll dough for biscuits and shortcakes earlier tonight. They
 RH> ended up being cooled on the stove top until I needed to cook supper
 RH> and then the table.

 NB> Some of it you'll just get used to... some of it you'll find solutions
 NB> to...  ;)

Time should settle most things into place. It never did properly at the
other house; this one has more kitchen storage.

 NB>  NB>>> So when you find that cookbook for your former neighbor, you'll
 NB>  NB>>> be able to stow it safely now...  :)
 NB>  RH>> Operative word there, should. Actual may differ.
 NB>  NB>> As things might have changed status in the meantime...?   ;)

 RH> Around here, a good probablility they will.

 NB> That, too, should settle in soon enough... hopefully... ;)

Possibly, not going to hold my breath on that tho. (G)

 NB> ... I'm a pilot.  I pick it up here and pile it there.

Been there, done that, especially in tight quarters.
