Saturday, December 31, 2011\u00a0 is upon us.\u00a0 As I\u2019ve often told our children:\u00a0 This day will never happen again, so make the most of it.\u00a0 With this in mind, Dave and I decided to do something different to end the year.\u00a0 We had lettuce, bacon and tomato sandwiches and sipped champagne\u00a0 for breakfast.\u00a0 For our late lunch, Dave whipped up a Seafood Grek.\u00a0 A\u00a0 delicious combination of scallops, shrimp, black olives, feta cheese, and garlic served over whole grain wild rice and sipped champagne.\u00a0 Mid-evening, we had caramelized flan with our sips of champagne.\u00a0 We watched the ball drop in Times Square, NYC,\u00a0 tucked snuggly in our bed munching on strawberries as we sipped the last of our champagne.\u00a0 Earlier in the day, we\u2019d phoned all our children to wish them a Happy New Year.\u00a0 They, too, were staying close to their respective homes to welcome in 2012.<\/p>\n

Sunday, January 1, 2012, found us at our little Anglican Church in America on the corner of Bay Road and Bacchus in Webster.\u00a0 Our elderly priest had died on December 21st<\/sup>, so we all wanted to know what was to transpire in the immediate future.<\/p>\n

Dave went to work on Monday and there was no progress on our porch project.\u00a0 We actually have two inches of snow on the ground now.\u00a0 We were a bit concerned about the plastic covering the 9\u2019 sliding door opening, as there were also high wind warnings.\u00a0 The builder had done a good job of securing the plastic properly, so all is well that ends well.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the builder and town Building Inspector held a pow-wow in the porch. \u00a0 The Electrician needs to move one outlet and add one in the Garage cieling, before the Electrical Inspection.<\/p>\n

Friday, January 6\u00a0 – Epiphany.\u00a0 The temperatures rose to 50-degrees, the snow melted, and the builder showed up.\u00a0 He re-inforced the horizontal garage rafter that goes east to west, made another roof ridge support and ran a 2\u2019x4\u2019 on the north side to attach the ceiling sheets securely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
