-=> Quoting Ruth Haffly to Nancy Backus on 06-20-16  21:31 <=-

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

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

Just not likely all in the same place... ;)

 NB>>> And then to have the second one open up right across the street
 NB>>> from where she'd moved, that just clinched it...  (G)
 RH>> That is convenient!
 NB>> Certainly was.   :)

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

Not sure I'd want one right across the street from me, anyway...  Within
walking distance, or even 5 minute drive (like I used to have) is good
enough for me... ;)

 RH>>> It would be nice to get one the size that the Shipps have in
 RH>>> their area but I'd gladly settle for one the size that is in
 RH>>> Brockport.
 NB>>> Their usual m.o. nowadays seems to be the bigger stores...
 NB>>> especially when opening new market areas.... dunno if they'd scale
 NB>>> down a little for WF after Raleigh...
 RH>> It's actually Cary they're looking at--but they sort of flow into
 RH>> each other. There would be enough distance between the two that a
 RH>> good sized store in both locations would be workable.
 NB>> Pretty much all they build nowadays are the larger ones... And
 NB>> some of the medium sized ones locally have been remodeled to
 NB>> become larger, like the one down the (back) street from the church,
 NB>> on Mt Read Blvd...

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

That's apparently what they are looking for... especially if there are
enough sufficiently affluent people....

 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....

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

 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
 NB>>> she'd 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
 NB>> to herself...

 RH> Smart thinking.
 
But I don't think it included any goodies from Wegmans.... I think she
merely slaked the thirst by getting stuff while she was still in range
and could... some things don't mail well..  ;)

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

Kinda adds up to be more expensive... one doesn't always think of adding
in all those extras to the seemingly bottom line...

 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...  :)

 RH> To a certain extent, yes.
 
Still can't go totally overboard... ;) 

 NB>>> heard... :)  Bekah went on to get her masters as Nurse
 NB>>> Practioner... she's a pediatric nurse, 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...  :)

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

LIkewise, nor mine...  And neither of our bodies could deal with the
physical strains of the job....  I'd still be tempted were it not for
that...  :)
