Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> Saw in the local weekly paper that Wegman's is beginning to look
 NB> at  RH>> building in WF; I'll believe it when I see actual

 NB>  NB>> Now that's good news for you...  ;)  One of my nieces recently
 NB> moved  NB>> to Texas... previously she had been living in VA, and was
 NB> near the  NB>> first VA store to open, she moved to a different VA
 NB> location, and a  NB>> new store opened there, right across the street
 NB> from her...  but now  NB>> she's where there just aren't any at all...

 RH> Does she thing she is able to get a Wegman's to open up just by
 RH> moving to a local area that has none? (G)

 NB> She was hoping that she might be a magnet for Wegmans stores, seeing
 NB> as how it had worked twice before... ;)  I think that first VA store

Just happenstance, but why not let her think she brought them? (G)

 NB> opened was the very first in the DC area, and she'd been living there
 NB> for a couple of years already...  And then to have the second one open
 NB> up right across the street from where she'd moved, that just clinched
 NB> it...  (G)

That is convenient!


 RH> It would be nice to get one the size that the Shipps have in their
 RH> area but I'd gladly settle for one the size that is in Brockport.

 NB> Their usual m.o. nowadays seems to be the bigger stores... especially
 NB> when opening new market areas.... dunno if they'd scale down a little
 NB> for WF after Raleigh...

It's actually Cary they're looking at--but they sort of flow into each
other. There would be enough distance between the two that a good sized
store in both locations would be workable.

 NB>  NB>> She says she's ready to write a letter
 NB>  NB>> to Danny, pleading with him to give her back her access... ;)

 RH> He might write back telling her to move to a place that has one. (G)

 NB> He might...  (G)  One never knows, though...  :)

True. (G)


 NB>  NB>> Before moving to VA, she'd been here in Rochester (got her
 NB> nursing  NB>> degree at Roberts Wesleyan)...  well and truly hooked...
 NB>  ;)  She  NB>> was here in town for the memorial service last week...

 RH> Did she stock up on her favorite Wegman's goodies while in town?

 NB> Couldn't... she was flying out of Rochester.... Bad enough that she'd
 NB> acquired more clothes from her sisters along the way... She'd flown

We've mailed stuff to ourselves when we've flown and not had the
suitcase room or weight to take extra acquisitions back. A few years ago
when we flew out west for Christmas, we each took a checked bag & carry
on. Southwest allows 2 checked bags for free so we just bought another
suitcase for the extra stuff and checked it.

 NB> into Boston, rented a car there, and had spent some time driving
 NB> around the
 NB> East Coast, visiting family and friends in VA, PA and NY before ending
 NB> up in Rochester in time for the service...  The trip had been planned
 NB> before, and she extended it just a little for the service...

God's timing--perfect as, always.

 NB> Hopefully she had a chance to at least get some of her favorite
 NB> Wegmans goodies
 NB> whilst in the area...  :)

Hope so. We'll have the camper plus the car we can load up with goodies,
both from there and Olindo's.

 RH> Steve's younger sister got a 2 year nursing degree just out of high
 RH> school but a few years ago went to Robert's to get her B.S. in nursing.

 NB> It's a good school for nursing, from what I've heard... :)  Bekah went
 NB> on to get her masters as Nurse Practioner... she's a pediatric nurse,
 NB> NICU in particular... :)

Sounds like she's doing well then. I'm not sure where Steve's sister is
working now, or in what field of nursing but she's not retired yet.
