Hi Nancy,

 NB> her if I could have them.)  NB>> At least books should be easy enough
 NB> to just tuck into the car, as  NB>> long as you aren't talking lots of
 NB> boxes of them... ;)

 RH> That, and jewelry but I don't think there's too much of the latter.

 NB> And jewelry tends to be even more easily stowed...  :)

Wear it or goes in a suitcase. I can't wear Mom's rings as is, her
fingers were several sizes larger than mine.

 NB>  NB>> I'm not sure what happened to my mom's cookbooks when they moved
 NB> to  NB>> the apartment off Lydia's house... but I think I already have
 NB> a copy  NB>> of anything I would have been interested in anyway...  :)

 RH> My mom actually had a fair collection, considering she wasn't much of
 RH> a cook. I think most were gifts, plus there was one book she made up
 RH> probably before getting married, or shortly afterward, of some
 RH> favorite recipies.

 NB> One can have an interest in the cookbooks, even if one never really
 NB> uses them for cooking from... ;)

I think the "fancy" ones were from her sisters who had no idea how to
cook for families.

 RH> I'd lost a copy of the one church cook book she'd given me years
 RH> ago but she had 2 copies of it so OK'ed my taking a replacement.

 NB> And now the other copy can go to one of your sisters...  :)

Or my brother. More than likely, it'll end up being given away I
suspect.

 NB> battalion wive's group  RH>> had done in HI.
 NB>  NB>> That worked out well... I'm sure you had your own copy of that
 NB>  NB>> cookbook, too...  ;)

 RH> Got it when it first came out. That year I bought 6 copies--mine,
 RH> mom's, my MIL, for our 2 girls and one for a friend in church. Our
 RH> church put out a cook book that year so I got one for myself plus Mom,
 RH> MIL and daughters each got one. The broccoli salad I make comes from
 RH> the latter cook book.

 NB> That's exactly how the organizations hope the sales will go... ;)
 NB> Making it into a least a somewhat decent fundraiser...  :)

That's why we did it, asking for recipies from family members of
soldiers and a bit of history, if possible to go with it.

 NB> the one  RH>> vendor tear down, she gave him a couple of big (about 5"
 NB> diameter)  RH>> chocolate chip cookies.
 NB>  NB>> Nice haul... :)

 RH> Very much so. Don't know if I'll get to the market this week as we're
 RH> cooking for LG and have a memorial service in Cary (west side of
 RH> Raleigh) we need to attend. Market hours are shorter now, winter
 RH> schedule is only 2 hours.

 NB> So fitting things all together can be a bit of a puzzle.... :)

We did it tho. I repackaged left over chicken yesterday, Steve did the
cheesecakes today.

 NB>  NB>>> ... Chocolate chip cookies: hazardous waist products!
 NB>  RH>> Yes, so the ones we got, we're dividing into 1/4s as portion
 NB> control.  NB>> Serendipitiously appropriate tag, I see... ;)   They
 NB> last longer that  NB>> way, too...  :)

 RH> Yes, we still have one whole cookie left.

 NB> Probably gone by now, though...  ;)

Actually, we still have half the cookie as I was out for lunch (quilting
day) and Steve didn't have any with his lunch. We used up the cobbler
for supper.
