Last Tuesday was Aunt Mary’s birthday, so Mer and I headed down to North Canton to celebrate with her in her new digs. We swung by Fisher’s (a grocery store) to pick up a cake, and then went to Aunt Mary’s. The moving-in transformation had continued even since just the previous Saturday. The house was more or less together – the only obvious thing left waiting was that the pictures needed to be hung.

Aunt Mary was in the mood for Chinese, so we headed over to a local Chinese restaurant and got take-out so we could eat at the new place. The food was excellent, cheap, and copious. I could not finish mine, and Mer had half of hers left as well, so we kept the leftovers for Wednesday’s supper. Yum. We finished the meal off with the quite delicious chocolate cake we had bought. A good meal indeed.

I then tried to be manly again, and tried to put up the new light fixture again. Aunt Mary had gone out and bought several longer all-thread screws, and so I gave it another go. Sadly, even though the all-thread looked the same, it would not screw in to the fixture – it seems the fixture uses metric screws and we had American screws. Light fixture – 2, Matt – 0. I’ll try again next time I am down that way.
