Glasses or appliances? I picked up some medium sized tumblers a while
back; they fit my hand better than the big ones we had. Steve also got
some mugs that fit his espresso maker space underneath the spout.

I thought it was 3 years of stuff they need to keep on hand. I know when
our daughter and her husband had their house built outside of SLC, they
had to put in a cold storage room, even tho they're not Mormon. Idea was
that if they ever sold the house to a Mormon, it would have the required
cold storage room. They use it for other storage. (G)
