More Dreaming...

Remember when I talked about how John and I dream of having a nice big deck and patio someday…to be able to sit out there and relax on warm summer nights? That dream also includes some awesomely comfortable outdoor patio furniture. Of course we would be able to relax or eat or entertain unless we had some outdoor patio furniture, and I do sit and think about what kind I would like.

I would love to have comfortable outdoor couches/chairs…you know the kind you sink into and never want to leave? My only concern with those is that they would obviously soak up water, so I’m guessing we would have to bring the cushions in each night? That seems like it would be a huge pain. I also want to have a huge table…with enough chairs and space for our whole family plus some guests to eat (because honestly, it seems so rare that it’s just our family eating!). And I want a huge umbrella that we can put up if it’s super sunny out. And the chairs have to be comfortable enough that you never want to leave or stop eating :)

I love having people around me, and I love warm weather, so having a great outdoor space to entertain with tons of outdoor patio furniture is definitely a dream of mine. I can picture in my head us eating dinner out there each night in the summer, the kids are teens and pre-teens, and life is wonderful. I can imagine the parties outside…soft lights hanging creating a beautiful ambiance and tons of great food and great wine. I see birthday parties and graduation parties out there. What wonderful dreams…
