"Midnight at the oasis. Send your camel to bed....."
On Monday afternoon we did our summer test of together workability.
First .. . .I ironed the instructions like a good little homemaker.
for documentation purposes of course.
. . .and then I called out part numbers. . . while he deciphered the very scant instructions with photos that left a person wondering. . .
(wondering why they wouldn't ask a blogger to make the instruction manual)
. .and then we built tent.
. . .and put up the curtains. . .

You'll love having a shady spot in which to sit and dine or visit or just relax! You two make a great team! Enjoy your Grammie Day!
ReplyDeleteOh - that is so lovely. Isn't it great to live outdoors for the summer. Hope your mosquitoes aren't too pesky.
ReplyDeleteMy list of free summer evenings will be arriving in your mail box soon...whatever works for you and your schedule. Seriously, that is a beautiful piece of work, and I know it, along with you and your cooking skills, will produce some memorable dinner parties. I commend both of you on a lovely new addition to your back yard.
ReplyDeletethat does look lovely.
ReplyDeleteso inviting.....;^}
you really have a very hospitable home....
Oh I do love your new enclosure!! It really defines the space well and is so inviting...
ReplyDeleteSweet! Like adding a room to the house isn't it? Without all the contractor trauma.
ReplyDeleteParty on people! Party on!
That is just perfect! May you have many wonderful times under your new canopy.
ReplyDeleteWe're spending more time on the front porch these days.
A great place to have your summer dinner parties..enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThat marquee (sounds better than tent!) will be the star of the summer at your place. I've always admired them - so elegant...a cross between Arabian Nights and British Colonial-tea-on-the-lawn. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteLove it, love it. Things are looking great around your house. Enjoy.

Those tents are such a great way to literally add a room for the summer! I know you will use it lots. It add such nice ambiance! I hope it comes with mesh drapes too! Knowing your skills - you'll probably find a way to add them.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog and everyday I look forward to reading it! Your home and backyard look great and so warm and inviting. Your patio table looks just like what we are looking for - can I ask where you bought it? Thanks for sharing your life with us and inspiring us to live full lives as well.

HI PR. . .Patio table and chairs were purchased at Sears several years ago.
ReplyDeleteVery nice...and like I said earlier...things just get happening at your place! Good job...and glad you were there to lend a hand :)
ReplyDeleteYou ironing the instructions nearly put me into a tizzy. Me and my iron have no relationship, guess I am just jealous of yours. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBless you and your new sweet hangout.
Put a drop of lavender essential oil on...the mosquitoes will stay far away.

Oh it's so beautiful!!! Yes, dinner parties will be so fun inside of that! I guessed you were going to add a little kiddie picnic table, but I think this is really amazing.
