Hello Ruth!
RH> And still do now. I keep everything confined to one bedroom; Steve
RH> sprawls thru-out the house.
I understand taht as I used to sprawl. Now everything is in
storage and I don`t even know where storage is.
RH> room besides book shelves and a couple of storage cabinets. Used to
RH> have 5 machines in the room but donated one to Hurricane Helene
RH> relief.
That was nice.
RH> I saw that in the roads we took to get to my grandparent`s house and
RH> have seen it even more so here in Wake Forest. I have said that they
RH> will have to change the name to Wake DeForested soon with all the
RH> housing that has gone up since we`ve been here.
Ouch, I hate that. But that`s what`s happening everywhere, just too
many people and not enough places to live.
RH> One place in town
RH> hasn`t changed and still going strong at about 105 years old--Shorty`s
RH> Hot Dogs. We`ve never stopped in but it is an icon in downtown (yes,
RH> we have a small down town) Wake Forest. I understand it`s popular with
RH> the college kids.
For a 105 year old place, I`d have to try it. Sometimes nothing
beats a good hot dog.
RH> for serious cooks; it was very small. I could stand in the middle and
RH> touch both the sink on one hand and the stove on the other by
RH> extending my arms. The house had a separate dining room that would
RH> have been better off being incorporated into the kitchen.
I can touch both walls without stretching. There is exactly one
counter top and it`s the size of the microwave. Where is my counter you
ask? Well I use the stove. When I make pasta / pastry / bread I use
the dining room table, or if I want to stand I use the freezer. (The
freezer is in the living room of course due to no room in the kitchen)
RH> I was always bumpimg my head as the stove was set underneath the
RH> eaves. We had a sink that was more of a laundry room sink, a fridge,
RH> and a small counter with a cabinet above it. But, it was only for a
RH> year so we made the best of it.
Yeah if you know the end is in sight, it`s easier to make the
best of things. If it was a 20 year place you would have been
miserable.
