Hi Nancy,

 NB> and  RH>> Dad was moved to a private room.
 NB>  NB>> Is he enjoying having the private room...?  Had he had a chance
 NB> to  NB>> get very close to the roommate...?

 RH> Have to talk with him about it, been on the busy side since we got

 NB> I can imagine...  had a chance to call him yet...?

No, either it's the wrong time of day or get busy and forget at the
right time. Mornings are not good for him, afternoons work better if I
remember.

 NB> seasonal  NB>> merchandise area for Christmas things... The Halloween
 NB> stuff has
 NB>  NB>> been on display for the whole month of September, as well as
 NB> this  NB>> month... ;)

 NB> But, as I meant to mention earlier, I don't think it's any earlier

 NB> :)

Seems like it has been out longer. The big box hardware stores start
pushing it in late September/early October.


 NB>  RH>> And Thanksgiving seems to be neglected, except for the big box
 NB>  RH>> hardware stores pushing turkey fryers and oil by the multi
 NB> gallon  RH>> containers.
 NB>  NB>> The grocery stores start pushing turkey and fixings in the meat
 NB>  NB>> department about now, though...  And "harvest" candies in the
 NB> bulk  NB>> section... ;)   I'm sure there will be at least the paper
 NB> plates with  NB>> turkeys and/or cornucopias on them in the
 NB> merchandise section, too...

 RH> The token concessions that there is another holiday in between
 RH> halloween and Christmas.

 NB> Oh, I don't know...  Not all that token over here...  It's just that
 NB> Christmas is overlapping it...  ;)

It seems to get squeezed out of the major stores except for the paper
goods displays. Places like Michael's put up a generic fall display but
push getting the Christmas crafting done early. Fabric stores get the
Christmas fabrics in, during the summer and push the Christmas sewing.
Admittedly, ptojects do tak a while but they need to remember the
holiday between halloween and Christmas.

 NB>  NB>> I'm looking for the cooking stocks to go on sale soon for the
 NB>  NB>> holiday season....  :)

 RH> They should be going on sale soon, however, I make my own so don't
 RH> really notice when they go on sale.

 NB> I've tried making my own, but I don't use them often enough for that
 NB> to be much of a useful thing... for me it's easier to just have the
 NB> Wegmans ones in stock for when I decide to use one for something... :)
 NB>  That
 NB> said, so far, their stocks haven't gone on sale yet... don't remember
 NB> for sure, but they might not have done it last year, either... :)

I like using the jarred soup bases if I don't have any stock on hand or
thawed. Remember, I grabbed a couple at Olindo's? Not quite the same as
home made stock but a good pinch hit.
