Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>>> Gives you plenty of flexibility...  :)
 NB>  RH>> Much more so than the team has had in previous years.

 RH> It wasn't needed until the last day, after cleaning out the big and
 RH> small fridges. The team put their sandwiches in it until after VBS,
 RH> then took them to eat on the way south. We're now using the cooler
 RH> as a fridge suppliment.

 NB> Both work well...  :)

Yes, we loaded the peaches picked up in Pa into it to keep them from
going bad. They were quite ripe, had to trim the bad spot here & there
while putting them up but not too much lost, thankfully. The cooler is
now put up until we need it again.


 NB>  NB>> Making you guys a helpful adjunct to the team in more ways than
 NB> just  NB>> the cooking and planning... ;)

 RH> Yes--we had very few left overs this year as compared to last. May
 RH> tweak the list more if we go next year to reduce them even more.

 NB> Sounds like you are getting the knack of it, for sure...  :)

Helps to have shopped for Life Group cooking and a good many more years
of family shopping than any of the other team members. We came in under
budget for the food.


 NB>  RH>> Most of my sewing business has been word of mouth. The cards are
 NB>  RH>> useful for other times I need to give out information, as well
 NB> as a  RH>> reminder with people that have mentioned wanting sewing
 NB> done. A "who  RH>> was that person I was talking with?" kind of thing.
 NB>  NB>> When my son was in high school, one shop class project was
 NB> printing  NB>> business cards, so he printed up some rudimentary ones
 NB> for me... I  NB>> think I used them mostly to verify that I was a
 NB> piano teacher and  NB>> therefore entitled to a discount on music at
 NB> the music store...  ;)

 RH> My first cards were done by a friend in exchange for proof reading her
 RH> husband's master's degree papers.

 NB> Nice exchange...  :)   I never needed any more cards... probably still
 NB> have some tucked away somewhere......

I've needed new ones every time we've moved. (G)


 NB>  RH>>> I wouldn't want to be a professional cook/chef, even tho
 NB> cooking  RH>>> can be fun. There are enough other issues involved with
 NB> doing it  RH>>> professionally that I wouldn't want to deal with.
 NB>  NB>>> Sometimes it just isn't feasible...  :)
 NB>  RH>> No, I'd need help lifting heavy pots, couldn't do all the
 NB> cutting  RH>> up or other heavy lifting, etc so good thing I didn't
 NB> make it a
 NB>  RH>> career choice.
 NB>  NB>> Like me and nursing...  ;)

 RH> We've gone with what works best for us, in all ways.

 NB> Pretty much...  ;)

Give me needle, thread and fabric & I'm happy. I'm beginning to think of
what to do for my next QoV project, even tho I'm only about 5/8 done
with the current one.
