Oh wait. No I couldn't. They need to be microwaved. So, do you buy a counter-top microwave to tide you over until you have a new range-top microwave? I'm thinking not.<br /><br />We are planning to put the refrigerator into the basement. The coffee maker will be in our bathroom, and the toaster will be on a banquet table in Shannon's room. Today I tried to find one of those gizmos that heats water, like for tea of oatmeal, but had no luck.<br /><br />Last resort: I pack up the dogs and go live in MN with my parents until it's over. Shawn can live on coffee, toast and restaurant fare.ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293058709021665140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394593369099711178.post-46524799386119438752014-01-22T15:31:21.975-05:002014-01-22T15:31:21.975-05:00Too bad you don't have a Wegman's.

Are you going to be away for part of the time?<br /><br />I forget if I told you I am gluten-free now. I did it last year and didn't notice much difference but this time I've been at it for a couple of months and love it. One of my sons is gluten-free, too, and he has to take beef jerky to school. The cafeteria has very few gluten-free offerings so beef jerky is his fall-back snack since he is not allowed to take a full lunch. Beef or turkey jerky might add some variety to your apples and almond butter.<br /><br />Do you have a dorm-sized fridge that is not currently being used by the kids? I had one of those in my bedroom when I was on bedrest with my first pregnancy. That can come in very handy.<br /><br />My kids were off school today, too, and probably tomorrow. None of us so much as opened the door and I didn't see any of the neighbor's children out either. I heard men shoveling but I wasn't about to venture out to shovel my driveway. If New Yorkers are not as tough as Midwesterners, well, I don't even want to contemplate how soft we are here. I felt daring for even getting out of bed this morning.<br /><br />I hope your remodel stays on schedule and turns out to be what you want it to be. It will all be worth it if you love it.Hope T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07861626818618433758noreply@blogger.com
