Last evening our friends Bud and Nancy from West Charlton came to pick us up. They have been working on a new kitchen project for nearly a year an a half. They've been having terrible luck, with a seemingly unending string of obstacles and setbacks. Believe me, if they had their own blog about their kitchen project, they could have filled volumes with everything that happened. Now however, the project is 99% complete, with only backsplashes remaining to be installed. We drove to their house to see the new kitchen. It's BEAUTIFUL! I was stunned at how it transformed their old fashioned home into a thoroughly modern one. The result of their long project is great. I can't answer for them if the result was worth all the heartache, but it's really nice.
After that, Bud and Nan treated us to dinner at the new restaurant in the area. The Lighthouse Restaurant is right on the banks of the Mohawk River. Libby and I have never been there before. We had a great dinner. We also had great conversation. The four of us always have great fun swapping stories whenever we get together. Thank you Bud and Nan.
Last night we were spooked by two men who came to fish off the dock at night. They kept walking back and forth only a few feet from our heads as we were trying to go to sleep. We could hardly complain; it is a public dock. The men were not noisy or rowdy, but it still spooked us. Free docks have their appeal and advantages, but riding at anchor also has advantages.
Today (Friday) I walked over the bridge to Schenectady to meet my friends Carmello and Bob for lunch. We met at Morette's Restaurant. Morette's is the place where they have served wickedly good philly cheese steak sandwiches since 1947, long before I got here. Carmello treated and we three had a great time catching up and swapping stories. Bob just this week returned to PTI after working at NYISO. Thanks Carmello, that was great.I also took the opportunity to stop at Perecca's Bakery for some loaves of bread. No pilgrimage to Schenectady is complete without some of that bread. If you haven't tried their bread, do so. It is so good that it is in a class by itself.
Below is the new 9/11 memorial at The Lighthouse Restaurant, where Bud and Nan took us for supper. Look closely near the base of the flag pole. There are two twisted rusty beams that were part of the World Trade Center buildings that collapsed on 9/11/2001. We snapped this picture as we were sailing past on Tarwathie.
