Hi Shawn,


 RH> We rented a storage unit when we first moved to WF and had a smaller
 RH> rental house. This house has just enough more space (plus a shed and
 RH> useable attic) that we don't need the extra unit. Rental house kitchen
 RH> storage was seriously lacking; this place has more but part of it is
 RH> in units we bought.

 SH> That's good that you don't need the storage unit anymore.  I wish we
 SH> didn't the price goes up every GD month I think.

Not fun at all.

 RH> Seems that way. NC gets a lot of folks moving down from colder states,
 RH> also a good number of "half backs"--those that initially move to
 RH> Florida and then move halfway back to where they came from up north,
 RH> IOW, NC.

 SH> Oh now that one is interesting.  I think if I could move somewhere
 SH> warm all year I'd probably stay there while Andrea is alive.  She's
 SH> the one who can't stand the cold with her crest and all that goes with
 SH> it.

 SH> Me?  I could live in the artic as long as there was a working heater
 SH> for night.

It's nice here, tho some may think it too hot in the summer. We don't
always get snow in the winter but get ice with it which shuts everything
down tight. Food is great--pulled pork 3 different (Lexington, eastern
and western NY styles), seafood, lots of good veggies........


 SH>  SH>> For a 105 year old place, I'd have to try it.  Sometimes nothing
 SH>  SH>> beats a good hot dog.
 RH> Just that our tastes usually run toward something else when we're out.

 SH> Understandable.

 RH> I've used the table more often than not for many things over the
 RH> years. That was the only place we've lived in that had a separate
 RH> dining room; other places had either an eat in kitchen or an area in
 RH> the living room, usually a corner near the kitchen where a
 RH> table/chairs could be set up.

 SH> Table is in the living room now.  We're just so packed in, it's not
 SH> even funny.

I understand, ours is in the kitchen.
