I made a pilgrimage to Penzeys today.
I had been holding off buying more spices until we were more settled into the new kitchen.

One of our favorite grill-season meals is spit-roasted chicken.
We have finally unearthed both the spit and its motor, and did not suffer a power failure during cooking like we did last time we tried this.

I’ve been intending to take this picture for a while now, but tonight I finally got around to it.
You are looking straight up from our foyer to the ceiling on the 3rd floor. I may try again in the daylight — when I’m sure the mood will be entirely different.

On my way into work this morning, despite the overcast & drizzle, I saw the moon.
Oh wait, that’s the WGBH billboard thing.
Sorry for the blurriness, but I had like 1/2 a second to take the picture when traffic slowed.

Our house is clean! Our cleaning service that we had in Southboro has followed us to Newton, which we are immensely glad about. They came today for the first time in the new house, which desperately needed their attention.
Not least among the reasons we’re glad to keep Walter is that he knows Winnie, and she tolerates him.

I reglazed about half the windows in the Hooker House (college apartment on Hooker Ave in Somerville) as a college student to help pay the rent. It looks like now I’ll get to do it again, but this time the homeowner I’ll be helping out will be myself. You may think that 1 1/2″ putty knife you use to spackle holes in your walls is made for that — it’s not; it’s made for applying putty to seal the glass into the window.

I have been doing work on various projects in the basement since we moved in, but this weekend Lis and I attacked the basement and my workshop is much closer to fully set up now.

We went to a couple of BBQs today, as befits Memorial Day weekend — one at my brother’s, and one at Kat & Bob’s. At the latter, Fred was unloading some alcohol that he doesn’t want to have to move twice (once to Rachel’s and once to wherever they wind up). Most of the wine went home with various folks, though we did sample the excellent cognac.
