Greetings!
At Home
You Just Never Know What You're Going To Find
June
We think June is beautiful.
It has just the right amount of sweet summer breezes and sunshine. The mornings can be breathtakingly crisp, the noon hour sensational and the evening skies seem to glow somehow. OK, we admit it. We're in love with the beauty of June.
So...we're celebrating all things beautiful in this issue.
And yes, this is one man's opinion. We'd love to hear from you. If we've missed something beautiful and you'd care to share it with us, we'd be happy to send it out as a special e mail to all those who open this issue of At Home. C'mon Gretchen. Give us a hand Donna. Ira, Phil, Bob, Andy, you know beauty when you see it, so drop us a line.
If we share beauty when we find it all of us are enriched.
Enjoy your June.

Your First Moment of Zen
This isn't a quiz. It's not Kong Island. It's just a little slice of heaven. You can luxuriate in this beauty if you live in Australia.

A Beautiful Thought:
Hurricane Season Begins June 1
We mention this in connection with the simple notion that Aiello Home Services is now one of the largest installers of standby (some call them whole-house) generators.
As we have most recently been reminded - painfully - Connecticut homes are susceptible to extended power outages.
If you want to assure your family's comfort and security, let us tell you about the Koheler and GE standby generators. Aiello handles the entire process from arranging for permits, assisting homeowners with finding propane suppliers and installation of the pad and complete system.
Want to start the process? (It can often take as much as six weeks from permit to turn-on).
Just pick up the phone and say, "Hello, Aiello."

Here's a brief list, culled from the intranetwebs, suggesting things that happy people do...differently.
Happy people have good habits that enhance their lives. They do things differently. Ask any happy person, and they will tell you that they ...
Don't hold grudges.
Treat everyone with kindness.
See problems as challenges.
Express gratitude for what they already have.
Dream big.
Don't sweat the small stuff.
Speak well of others.
Never make excuses.
Get absorbed into the present.
Wake up at the same time every morning.
Avoid social comparison.
Choose friends wisely.
Never seek approval from others.
Take the time to listen.
Nurture social relationships.
Meditate.
Eat well.
Exercise.
Live minimally.
Tell the truth.
Establish personal control.
Accept what cannot be changed.

It's summer - grab some fresh strawberries right from the patch add some deliciously crisp spinach and you have the makings of a beautiful (and light) summer night's dinner.
Ingredients
Salad
Poppy-seed vinaigrette:
Directions
In a dry frying pan, toast the pecans over medium-low heat, stirring, until fragrant and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Pour onto a plate to cool, then coarsely chop and set aside. To make the vinaigrette, in a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, poppy seeds, dry mustard, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Add the oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly until the dressing is well blended. In a large bowl, toss together the spinach, strawberries, and pecans. Add half of the vinaigrette and toss gently to coat. Add more vinaigrette as needed (you may not need all of it). Serves six - so call. From Williams-Sonoma Salad of the Day: 365 Recipes for Every Day of the Year (Weldon Owen) by Georgeanne Brennan. |
The Beauty of...Plumbing
Not to put too fine a point on this, but Aiello does plumbing.
All sorts of plumbing.
Thousands of plumbing jobs every year.
This is our plug (no pun intended) for any plumbing (or electrical) assistance you may need.
The guy who was heating his hot water below...never called and said, "Hello, Aiello."
