SEATING FOR TWO

"You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood. ...
~Bill Watterson

This has been a summer of projects. All those things we have been talking about doing for ages are finally getting done. Well some of them anyway. One project that has just been completed was building a couple of Adirondack chairs for the dock. We needed something heavy enough not to blow away in our heavy winds, though we still tethered them and the table to the dock. Not to brag, but I think we did a pretty good job. I'll take credit for the easy stuff--design, color choice and painting and my dear husband gets credit for the construction--you know, the really hard, talented part. With the addition of an umbrella, we now have a comfortable place to enjoy our morning coffee and sunset cocktails without lugging folding chairs back and forth. It feels so good to check something off the to-do list. :)

  1. I'm torn between total admiration and extreme envy.

    1. Thanks Karen. It took almost two years for this project to go from list to reality. Worth the wait.

    1. Thanks Lulu. I love the vibrant colors. Makes me feel like I'm on vacation whenever I sit out there.

  3. Have I just dreamed this??? :-) Extreme envy is a good way to qualify how I feel just now!

    And yes, the sense of achievement is so very nice!

    1. And now it's on to the next item on our list. It's hard to decide which one--the list is very long. :)
