So I guess you have to wait and see how it plays out...  You'll know
eventually how the thawing out is doing... ;)  I think I'm glad I'm not
the undertaker/staff trying to figure out this spring's burials.. sounds
pretty complex to me...  :)

 NB>> As for the service, there can be at least preliminary planning in
 NB>> the meantime... :)

 RH> I don't know if anything has been done on that part or not.

You might be thinking, in case there's input you want to add to the
planning... or in case it gets dumped in your lap as oldest surviving
child...  ;)  Choose scriptures, hymns...

 RH>>> claims for it so if overlapping ones are made, we can decide who
 RH>>> gets what. 
 NB>>> And now it won't seem quite so much like being the circling
 NB>>> vultures. ;)
 RH>> Not quite the circling vultures, but still sort of feels like it.
 NB>> I know... been there...  :)

 RH> And it's quite the process, especially with a large family.
 
Exactly.  :)

 NB>>> In any case, the compost will only help...  :)
 RH>> For sure, even tho we can't grow any veggies this year. I guess we
 RH>> could put some containers on the deck but would need a watering
 RH>> system for whenever we were gone.
 NB>> Or helpful neighbors...  :)

 RH> We'll have to talk it over with one of them, see what sort of deal we
 RH> can work out.

Shared produce... and/or pick and use the ripened things...
 
 NB>> It would be nice if it cut down the pollen, for sure... :)  We had
 NB>> snow overnight, but now it's all melted off the cars...  :)

 RH> The official low this morning at the RDU airport was 22, record low
 RH> was 20 so we missed that. Still, yesterday was in the low 40s, today
 RH> was mid 50s and I'm feeling the pollen again. The day of rain washed
 RH> some out but brought out more buds, flowers, etc.

You can't win, this time of year...  ;)
 
 NB>>> You either had smaller portions of the meat, or you bought a
 NB>>> larger chunk of meat to begin with...
 RH>> Probably a bit of both; I don't remember the weight of the cut.
 NB>> Ours was about 2 1/2 pounds...  :)

 RH> Ours was probably in that vicinity but long gone now.
 
Likewise... :)
 
 NB>>> Possibly...  :)  maybe not large ones for casserole, but medium
 NB>>> would have the advantage of being more obviously there...  :)
 RH>> Smalls would as well, but not the extra smalls. The smalls would be
 RH>> about the smallest I'd like to go in terms of being easy to peel &
 RH>> devein.
 NB>> Or you'd need to get them already peeled and deveined...  :)

 RH> I could, but only if they're available at the time. Then there's
 RH> canned shrimp but let's not go down that road...............(G)

Canned shrimp is best for smashing to use in a dip... ;)   A friend of
mine used to make a shrimp dip from canned shrimp, drained, mashed and
mixed with sour cream.  Easy-peasy, and tasty enough with crackers or
veggies...  :)
