Thanksgiving here in Carlisle was fun and relaxed. My parent’s and I enjoyed a wonderful turkey, succotash, potatoes and cranberry sauce dinner that my Mother prepared in splendid fashion – verrrry good! Today (Friday after) is a bit cold and rainy – but we met the Maryland Collins’ and went over to look at ...
Now that the Town has issued my Occupancy Permit, it was time last night (Saturday) for a celebratory dinner. My Mom, Dad and I went over last night to the Colonial Inn and had drinks and dinner in the tap room (one of the older parts of the Inn). We had a very good time ...

Paul found a stone engraver who was able to add my house number to the existing granite post at the end of the common driveway (My parent’s and I struck out with two different sources). I bought at Vanderhoof’s Hardware in Concord an ...
My computer work area is off the main hallway to the back of the house and I am planning on it having a wall to wall birch plywood surface. To make it sufficiently stiff, I am going to reinforce it with an aluminum spine. Echoing the kitchen island, I hand milled this weekend a T-bar ...
