Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Poor kitty - no nice laundry to sleep on.

-> She finds plenty of other places to sleep, no problems there. We keep
-> the door to our room shut all the time so she won't decide to sleep in
-> our suitcases.  When they first got her (from a shelter), Mom & Dad had
-> her as an indoor/outdoor cat. Her hunting prowess turned her into a
-> strictly indoor cat, much to her dismay.

 RH> No fair! Poor baby, punished for doing her job.  I hope she at least
 RH> had a few mice to hunt.

She caught mice, shrews, birds, I think a rabbit or two and I've no idea
what all else before she was confined to the great indoors.

->  RH> That often happens; they have to keep up or get closed down.
 RH> Things get sloppy when there's no competition.

-> The older WF wasn't really sloppy, just darker and the aisles seemed
-> closer together. I think they took out one aisle and spread the others
-> apart, plus did some other re-arrainging. We were in there some months
-> ago and it looks a lot nicer than it did when we first moved to the
-> area.

 RH> Most stores remodel every few years.

Helped to have the new store open to make the old one spruce up. Most of
the time tho we go to the new one because it's more convenient for us.
We were near the older store on Monday but didn't need to get anything
so didn't go over to it.

->  RH> Old fridges were meant for a time when you shopped for groceries
 RH> two or three times a week, and milk came in quarts.  The bigger
 ones came later.

-> I can only recall the larger fridges; the one under discussion probably
-> dates to the 40s or earlier. At any rate, it was not big enough to even
-> decently hold a week's worth of grocery shopping.

 RH> That sounds like my grandmother's original fridge; it had the
 RH> compressor on top.

This one had the compressor built in but it was still small. Probably
one of the earlier models of a built in compressor. Anyway, we got the
OK to find a newer one--and did, at a yard sale within a couple of weeks
of moving into the house.

Catch you later,

...  It works!  Now, if only I could remember what I did.
