We made some progress on the wainscoting yesterday, but I injured my back doing the work. After declaring victory for the day, we went out for our Anniversary Dinner - it was absolutely splendid. I had Shrimp Marinara Fra Diavalo and Mrs. MacNessa had Tortellini Pesce - tricolor tortellini, shrimp and sea scallops in a creamy sauce. The scallops were the best I can recall ever having. We had an after-dinner cordial - Limoncello - which was new to both of us.
Today I can barely stand up. I did not get to Mass, or anywhere else for that matter. We did only a small amount of work - installed one batten and replaced a floor tile. We will be able to do more work on the wainscoting during the week. We hope to have the foyer finished by Friday.
