Mazing

Happy Friday, everyone!

Our oil company folks are coming to service our boiler at 8AM. They'll also be installing an emergency shutoff switch. The electrician is coming at 9AM to replace our circuit breaker panel and meter. They'll both probably be in the basement most of the day. After that, we'll have no more contractors scheduled. As Sommy used to say, "Mazing."

Sue's dance performance on Wednesday went very well. We both voyaged to Pidge and Ridge, and the husband (of the husband-wife duo that runs a belly dance studio and shop) met us there. He is from Turkey and knowledgeable about belly dancing. He stayed for most of Sue's two sets, and throughout the performance, he repeatedly made approving comments, as if he were not expecting such high quality dancing. His wife called back last night to offer Sue another gig already!

We drove forty minutes to North Kingstown last night to purchase a butcher block table (5 feet by 30 inches) for the screened porch. For the time being, we'll be using the table in our dining room, because the screened porch is packed with boxes and packing paper, plus our half-bathroom toilet and vanity.

North Kingstown is in the local news these days because of Elizabeth Beisel.


Before we left for Ms. Beisel's hometown, we had dinner at a quirky place in Providence with a quirky name.


The food was very good, and across the street is Not Just Spices -- a small grocery that sells imported Indian foods.
