 NB>>> And also on the generous side... ;)  The bigger problem I could

 RH>> That's true; we could go there for a farewell dinner. Having room in

 RH> True, and where this place has more counter space than the previous

 RH> the stuff that stays out on the counters (can opener, Keurig, toaster,
 RH> crocks of utensils, etc) and you've lost about half the space there.
 RH> Most of those are on the back side, up against the wall until needed.

The more gadgets and appliances you have and use regularly, the more
space they take up... ;)
 
 NB>> I'll grant you Michael is very creative with leftovers, and that
 NB>> often is part of the fun... but we'd probably be better off with
 NB>> more space in the fridge... ;)

 RH> For sure! If we had the garage built, I'd maybe look into renting an
 RH> extra fridge for a month or so.

If you had the garage built, you'd probably find use for an extra fridge
long-term, is my guess...  (G) 
 
 RH>> They're a "destination restaurant" in the area, and near enough to the
 RH>> airport that people will fly in early or out late if they've got to be
 RH>> in town, so they can have a meal there. I can understand that.
 NB>> Worth planning one's trip around...  ;)

 RH> I'd say so; they have several pavilions on a private lake and do
 RH> weddings and such like there. The only downside to that is that
 RH> they're near enough to the RDU airport that a plane taking off at a
 RH> critical time could drown out "I do's".
 
Have to coordinate with the flight schedule, I guess... ;)  I suppose
that's a risk for places like Genesee Valley Park here. too...  The
bride and/or groom might just have to wait for the plane to clear and
then resume with their response...  ;)

 RH>>> I put about half of the pound cake in the freezer (cut into
 RH>>> serving size pieces) for enjoyment later.
 NB>>> Good thinking...  ;)
 RH>> My usual M.O. for things like that.
 NB>> And a wise one, at that... :)

 RH> Saves the carbs (tho I was doing it long before I was watching them)
 RH> and we get to enjoy the goodies long after the occaision is over.

The latter is good enough reason to do it, even... :)
 
 RH>>> sense of humor for a ruby anniversary, gift cards for RT--we
 RH>>> went last night.
 NB>>> Well... it is sort of a ruby... ;)   She might have sent you a
 NB>>> copy of the "Ruby Yacht" of Omar K... ;)  (a current thread of
 NB>>> sorts in the Memories echo [g]) 
 RH>> She probably thought we'd enjoy a night out, and yes, we did.
 RH>> Afterward we went to the nearby mall, priced out replacing the
 RH>> synthetic rubies in my ring with real ones. That'll happen
 RH>> eventually, but not tomorrow.
 NB>> When funds permit... :)

 RH> Actually, the ring is at a local jeweler's shop now. We've worked with
 RH> her for other pieces and she's doing this job for the cost of the
 RH> stones.

That's a nice anniversary present..  :)
 
 NB>>> Hmmm, I wonder if that was part of the thinking behind our
 NB>>> friends giving us a Red Lobster gift card for our 40th...?
 RH>> Could be, since rubies are red. (G)
 NB>> Exactly...  (G)

 RH> But lobsters are green before they're cooked, so would that work for
 RH> an emerald anniversary? (G)

Only if one wanted to eat them raw...?  Or do the cooking themselves,
thus turning them red...  Naw... I think there would be better choices
for an emerald anniversary, whenever that one is...  ;)

ttyl       neb

... But I !!WANT!! the two in the bush...
