Sounds like you are expecting to spend another winter in Wake Forest,
then... :)  Apparently the Lowe's bargain area has had lots of beef,
there, too...  Lately, I haven't seen much going on Quick Sale at
Wegmans, either I'm not shopping the right day/time, or they just aren't
needing to put it on sale to move it...  :)

 NB>> Back when I was keeping an actual to-do list, partly to remember what

 RH> I keep more of a mental "to do" list for sewing projects.

Now I tend to keep more only mental lists, too... occasionally I write
out a grocery list for things that aren't everyweek items, particularly
if it is starting to run large, and/or I've forgotten to pick up
something already at least once or twice...  :)  I still make lists for
what I want to bring for food for family camping, since I try to bring
just what I need for that week, and don't want to be missing any
ingredients...  ;)

 RH> A pair of slacks that was on the list to take in and hem is now
 RH> changed to sew up the back seam, put in bag for give away. They're
 RH> several sizes too big now.

But not quite so big that one could make two pair out of them...? (G)  I
can see where a list for sewing projects might be a little redundant,
after all one has the pile itself (or piles) to remind one what's next.
 
 RH>> Last night I pulled out a skirt I'd snugged up the elastic on last
 RH>> year, and it fell off my hips so I guess it'll go into the give away
 RH>> bag now. I'm not going to re redo the elastic.
 NB>> Something like that almost cries out for installing a drawstring to
 NB>> make it work for longer, without having to keep fussing with the
 NB>> elastic.  :) Especially if it were a favorite skirt...

 RH> It has a drawstring as well as the elastic but it's several sizes
 RH> too big now. So, it's in a bag, in the car, ready to drop off at the
 RH> Sharing Shop tomorrow.

Ah.  And maybe there will be something smaller at the Sharing Shop to
bring home with you...  ;)
