July 4, 2008

Six months ago the New Castle town board voted to construct one field rather than two on its Amsterdam property at Hoag Cross Road. Although the project is well underway, the board learned in its work session last Tuesday that sod cannot be laid in the heat of summer. So it will be laid in the fall, pushing back the opening of the field for play until next spring. The question currently before the board is what to do with the carriage house that remains on the property.

After about a year in the works, Asian-fusion restaurant “Spoon” finally opened its doors last Saturday night at the intersection of Routes 117 and 120. The fusion of two retail spaces next to D’Agostino’s, formerly a Chinese takeout restaurant and a card shop, the eatery offers both lunch and dinner, Monday through Saturday, with dinner only on Sunday night.

Two years ago on July 1, 2006, my niece Deb married Jack. There were two things she wanted me to do as part of her wedding. One was to take the veil her mother, my best friend since we were 12 years old, wore at her wedding and sew sequins and seed pearls onto it to update the look. It took me four months to complete that assignment on the cathedral length veil. The second request was for me to create a “memory quilt” with messages from everyone who was invited to the wedding.
