It's done!



Our patio was finished on Friday. It looks great and we have a table and chairs and Jim and Joanne sent Ed some fantastic adirondak chairs and table to put by the fire pit for Father's Day. We've been having breakfast and dinner out there every day since they finished and we just love it.
Romper has a little pool to cool off in and now he has shade that he can relax in so he doesn't seem to mind as much being outside in the heat. And we're finding it really relaxing to sit outside together--I forgot how much we've enjoyed our paitos in the past. I'm so happy that it is finished before the baby arrived.
Tonight, Jim and Joanne came over for a cook out and fire on our patio. We had grilled oysters, cantaloupe, steak salad with blue cheese, grilled crostini, and grilled peaches with raspberry sauce over vanilla ice cream. Ed was a master-griller and everything turned out great. We had a very enjoyable evening.

Jen and Edward,

We had a great time last night. Can't wait to play with our little granddaughter on the patio and backyard!
