No news is still good news… but let’s get on to more important things

One of our very first purchases (besides you know, the house) will be a gas grill. 

The question we're pondering and for all you Grill Masters out there is… how cheap can you go and still get something that does the trick and will last more than a couple summers?  I’m taking a gander at a few options in the $200 range and though the price is right, I'm a little suspect since there's very few at that price point.

Meanwhile...

Tela's been researching fireplace surrounds.  She's taking her job very seriously.

And

We checked out Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm's Plow Day up in Newburyport. We saw some former HNE coworkers, took a house tour, saw a sheep shearing, the Morgan horses plow the field, and enjoyed an Ipswich IPA poured straight from the Mercury Brewing Tap Van.
