What’s Up in the Neighborhood, September 20 2025
Good morning, blog readers. Got a busy weekend here; after I finish today’s blog post, I’m heading over to help my girlfriend plant late-autumn mums in her garden. Tomorrow I’m heading to the Big E to find out how my photos and latched hook rug did in competition. But before I do anything of the…
Read MoreCaption Time: Should I drink this?

Good morning, my wonderful blog readers. I hope you’re having a good day, and that you’re able to enjoy a decent weekend. There’s a few things going on locally if you’re interested – the Polish Community Center in Albany is hosting a Ukrainian cultural festival on Saturday, and the Saratoga Harness track has a charity…
Read MoreThe Latch Hook Covered Bridge project as of September 12, 2025
While working on this recent latch hook rug project, I realized that I’m doing what my Grandma Betty used to do when I was a child. Let me explain. I lived with my paternal grandmother (my Grandma Betty) at her house outside Boston in summers, so that I could get away from my toxic home…
