Springing Back to Life
Our patio has gone through many iterations over the past 29 years. When we first moved in, we were poor. Our budget was tight so we had to be content with the grass and shadowbox fences with the neighbors. We knew we always wanted a patio and saved up for it. I want to say we paid $1200 for a paver patio. We picked out the huge 18"x18" slate look pavers from Lowe's and got a patio set that was an ambitious size. It was nice to have a space to relax outside and have a little flower bed where our pooch would happily walk up to smell the flowers. After a year or two of constantly having people catch our eye as they walked their dogs or themselves, we said it was time for a fence with a gate. I think it was around $700 back then. Damn those prices make me nostalgic! Over the years, we had various outdoor area rugs, curtains on the fences to cover gaps, tropical hibiscus trees during our Hawaii years to remind us of our second home. ...
Happy Thanksgiving everybody. If only everyone knew just how hard you've been working to make some truly amazing food. I am sure they'll all enjoy it. I know I will. Thanks baby!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Mrs. and Mr.!! Hope your day is fantastic with all the stress behind you (God willing -- with family, it's hard to say...lol). It's in the 50's here, so while I'm really just wanting to gut it out, I'm happy that I can spend a bit of time outside with the pooches. You guys are a true blessing and I couldn't be more thankful for you! xoxox
