Hi Nancy,

 NB> all...  RH>> Does she thing she is able to get a Wegman's to open up
 NB> just by
 NB>  RH>> moving to a local area that has none? (G)
 NB>  NB>> She was hoping that she might be a magnet for Wegmans stores,
 NB> seeing  NB>> as how it had worked twice before... ;)  I think that
 NB> first VA store

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

 NB> Actually, she was mostly kidding...  :)  Except for the missing
 NB> Wegmans part, anyway...  ;)

I don't miss them but I do enjoy shopping in them when I have the
chance. I have a good variety of stores between here and Raleigh to
choose from; depending on what I need, I can get probably almost
everything Wegman's offers, in other places.

 NB> there  NB>> for a couple of years already...  And then to have the
 NB> second one open  NB>> up right across the street from where she'd
 NB> moved, that just clinched  NB>> it...  (G)

 RH> That is convenient!

 NB> Certainly was.   :)

Won't happen where we live tho, got houses across the street.

 NB>  RH>> It would be nice to get one the size that the Shipps have in
 NB> their  RH>> area but I'd gladly settle for one the size that is in
 NB> Brockport.  NB>> Their usual m.o. nowadays seems to be the bigger
 NB> stores... especially  NB>> when opening new market areas.... dunno if
 NB> they'd scale down a little  NB>> for WF after Raleigh...

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

 NB> Pretty much all they build nowadays are the larger ones... And some of
 NB> the medium sized ones locally have been remodeled to become larger,
 NB> like the one down the (back) street from the church, on Mt Read
 NB> Blvd...

OK, so we will probably get a good sized one. There are enough people in
the area to support it.

 NB>  NB>>> She says she's ready to write a letter
 NB>  NB>>> to Danny, pleading with him to give her back her access... ;)
 NB>  RH>> He might write back telling her to move to a place that has one.
 NB> (G)  NB>> He might...  (G)  One never knows, though...  :)

 RH> True. (G)

 NB> It's fairly unlikely, actually, that they'd be considering TX, since
 NB> that's moving further inland from the Coast...  so far all the
 NB> expansion has still been East Coast states...   But the market might
 NB> be appealing to them, all the same....

You never know, unless you're part of corporate headquarters. (G)

 NB> hooked...  NB>>>  ;)  She was here in town for the memorial service
 NB> last week...
 NB>  RH>> Did she stock up on her favorite Wegman's goodies while in town?
 NB>  NB>> Couldn't... she was flying out of Rochester.... Bad enough that
 NB> she'd  NB>> acquired more clothes from her sisters along the way...

 RH> We've mailed stuff to ourselves when we've flown and not had the
 RH> suitcase room or weight to take extra acquisitions back.

 NB> I think she was already putting together a box of things to mail to
 NB> herself...

Smart thinking.

 RH> A few years ago when we flew out west for Christmas, we each took a
 RH> checked bag & carry on. Southwest allows 2 checked bags for free so
 RH> we just bought another suitcase for the extra stuff and checked it.

 NB> That worked out fine, then... :)

Yes, and having an airline that has such a lenient allowance on luggage
made it very nice for us. A friend just flew (with her family) out west
on a different (budget) airline and got nickel & dimed to death on
charges/surcharges for everything, including a seat that reclined.

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

 RH> God's timing--perfect as, always.

 NB> Absolutely.   :)

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

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

 NB> You'll be able to get more than usual, now...  :)

To a certain extent, yes.


 NB>  RH>> Steve's younger sister got a 2 year nursing degree just out of
 NB> high  RH>> school but a few years ago went to Robert's to get her B.S.
 NB> in nursing.  NB>> It's a good school for nursing, from what I've
 NB> heard... :)  Bekah went  NB>> on to get her masters as Nurse
 NB> Practioner... she's a pediatric nurse,  NB>> NICU in particular... :)

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

 NB> Nurses, especially good ones, are in high demand...  :)

I thought about it at one time, but it wasn't my calling.
