Today Greg and I helped Michael install an over-the-range microwave. 

My participation was not entirely altruistic — I plan a similar project and it’s always better to practice on someone else’s house.

I certainly hope this is a vanity plate, and this person did not get assigned this plate at random.

It doesn’t look 10x dirtier than other cars to me.  At least it’s not brown.

This week’s Boston Organics box has a lot of fruit in it.

I call it… still life with delivery.

Our kitchen lacks any sort of outside venting.  I am planning to install an over-the-range microwave / fan, inspired by our friend Michael who is planning a similar project.  Such a fan is too tall, however, for the existing cabinet in that space.  I removed it with a thought to rebuild it shorter, but now I think I might just install an open shelf in that space instead.

We had an open house for neighbors over the weekend.  One of them brought us these lovely flowers, just the thing to brighten up the kitchen.

It’s the little changes you make to a house that makes it feel like home.  Things like replacing ugly cabinet hardware, or installing one of these:

Sure, turning two separate knobs on & off to do laundry is not a chore (no matter how squeaky & hard to turn they are), but a lever like this one is just so much easier.

Hey look!

It’s my desk!  For the first time since we moved, it’s not all covered in papers and stuff.

I woke up this morning to find both kitties on the couch downstairs. 

I guess Winnie was cold.

I finally made it to the famous Russo’s tonight.  I have no idea what these things are, how you cook them, or even how to get close enough to try.

You find out a lot about people when you buy their house.  For an example, we had no idea they were the type of people who would…

…put a paper clip down the garbage disposal.  You’ll note there’s still some paper attached — my guess is the IRS was at the door.
