Finally Summer
Finally good weather. Previously this summer it has either been sweltering madness or downpouring torrential floods. Today is gorgeous. And Friday.

From Cantabrigians to Bostonians
Living room
The final move. We no longer are of two minds, of two abodes. We reside on one side of the river instead of trying to straddle it. The last two and a half weeks were difficult in some ways. But it was nice to have a bit of time to negotiate the entire move. Speaking of negotiating… The movers had a tough time negotiating an argument between the wall and our couch in the front stairwell, and negotiating another argument between a different wall and our box spring in the back stairwell. But they were able to help us keep all our furniture. Now it is our job to find a place to put it all.

Happy 4th from Baker House!
Our last Fourth of July celebration while living in Baker House. A great view. We will miss it & our Baker family even more.

Cleanup Commenced
We spent the weekend cleaning windows, window sills, radiators, changing outlet covers, scraping paint drops from everywhere, replacing the screen door, removing defunct brackets and nails and screws for things that no longer exist, measuring for blinds, removing moldy caulking, chiseling packed dirt & grime from window locks & seals (& are wondering if now this will negatively impact our heating bill come winter), and cleaning dead bugs out of light fixtures & cupboards. We feel pretty darn productive. We also moved our two HUGE leather chairs (only chairs we own) over in a Zipcar, along with some cold beers. Now we have a place to sit and relax after a hard day’s work. We do need to get a little more light in the bedroom – our one lonely lamp so far doesn’t cut it. We still LOVE the view from our little roof deck.
