Hi Shawn,
RH> Steve wasn`t into ham radio at the time but I was doing a good bit of
RH> sewing.
SH> So you needed more room then. :)
And still do now. I keep everything confined to one bedroom; Steve
sprawls thru-out the house. I have 4 sewing machines (one set up, in a
cabinet, others in storage bags), a serger on a table, embroidery
machine on another table and a full size (5`) cutting table in the room
besides book shelves and a couple of storage cabinets. Used to have 5
machines in the room but donated one to Hurricane Helene relief.
RH> 50 years ago Wake Forest was more of a sleepy little seminary town,
RH> with some commuting to Raleigh. IIRC, from what I`ve heard, Capital
RH> Blvd was just a 2 lane road (one down, one up) then; now it`s 4-6
RH> lanes, with plans to widen it even more.
SH> Funny how fast these towns become huge citys. I know just east of
SH> here in Whitby, when I was a child I rode a horse all over what is now
SH> a giant sub divison with schools, shops, and thousands of homes.
I saw that in the roads we took to get to my grandparent`s house and
have seen it even more so here in Wake Forest. I have said that they
will have to change the name to Wake DeForested soon with all the
housing that has gone up since we`ve been here. One place in town hasn`t
changed and still going strong at about 105 years old--Shorty`s Hot
Dogs. We`ve never stopped in but it is an icon in downtown (yes, we have
a small down town) Wake Forest. I understand it`s popular with the
college kids.
RH> Sounds more like an apartment for several singles, probably none of
RH> whom are serious about cooking. When we moved to Germany, the first
SH> I think it was designed for "profesionals" back in the day. Someone
SH> who ate at the office or something.
Could be. We had brand new housing when we were stationed at Hunter Army
Air Field in Savannah, GA, 2006-09. The kitchen was not designed for
serious cooks; it was very small. I could stand in the middle and touch
both the sink on one hand and the stove on the other by extending my
arms. The house had a separate dining room that would have been better
off being incorporated into the kitchen.
RH> occupied until permanent ones opened up (6 months to a year, we were
RH> there 13 months), had the nickname Army wide as "the bowling alley".
SH> Ouch. At least I don`t bump my head. hahaha
I was always bumpimg my head as the stove was set underneath the eaves.
We had a sink that was more of a laundry room sink, a fridge, and a
small counter with a cabinet above it. But, it was only for a year so we
made the best of it.
