Hi Dave,
RH> steps. There are several rooms on that level but then to go to the

RH> Kinda sorta.Right now, with the merger, we're going to be close to
RH> maximum seating capacity which will inhibit growth. Going to be
RH> interesting..............
DD> Or force an expansion.
True, something to consider. Last couple of services, we've been sitting
in the "overflow" room--the church we're talking about merging with has
taken over Sunday services, lock, stock & barrel and their music is much
louder than our older ears prefer. Tried different places in the
sanctuary but never found one where the music was at a tolerable level.

DD> I've only ever bought one new car and have avoided all of those

RH> Counting the Pinto Steve bought before we got married, we've bought 4
RH> vehicles brand new. Got the extended service with the 2 Escapes and the
RH> F-150, nice that we know we can get (and have gotten) service
RH> nationwide. We also have funds set aside for major work, should it be
RH> needed. Didn't get an extended warranty with the house--big ticket item
RH> (heating/ac unit died on us) was covered by the sale of the Escape that
RH> was in the accident in Wyoming.
DD> I have relatives or close-enough friends in the building and HVAC

Understandable. Steve can do a lot of the work around the house but not
all. A former neighbor works in HVAC & put in the new unit for us and
maintains it.
DD> Supper tonight is going to be simple. Popeyes is offering a BOGO on
DD> their nice chicken sandwiches. I've got some creamy cole-slaw in the
DD> icebox
DD> and I can nuke up a baked potato w/bacon bits, chredded Cheddar and,
DD> of course, butter. A veritable banquet.
Sounds good, nearest Popeye's to us is in Raleigh. Went to a wedding
yesterday at (his home church) for our minister of music, reception had
a lot of small munchies--fruit, vegetables, mini quiches, cheese cubes,
meat and crockers, etc. Instead of doing a big cake, they had a small
one for cutting/feeding each other and mini cupcakes for the guests. All
in all, very enjoyable.
I've done that from time to time but usually now bake several russets
and sweet potatoes at the same time. Did that the other day, had some
potatoes for supper that night, fried potatoes (using russets) Friday
night and a couple more meals with potatoes some time this week. Steve
likes sweet potatoes and they usually take a while to bake to the right
degree of done-ess to caramelise some of the sugar. So, by doing several
at once, it saves power, has them available for a quick reheat later.
