Summer Fun...

Well we’ve finally (after five years of wanting to) have our deck done! It’s fantastic to have that additional “living space”. Our wonderful friend and deck designer Kevin put on all the final touches and we were able to finally enjoy it!

It wraps around our hot tub and extends from the family room walkout. We spared no expense on getting a fabulous gazebo with three panels (one plastic to help block the wind, screen to eliminate bugs, etc & the privacy closure). It’s so beautiful to sit out there on the summer nights and relax. The glow of the candles and it’s so peaceful and relaxing after a long day or week of work.

It certainly makes all that saving worthwhile. We were talking about selling next year but now, who knows? Perhaps this can just be “the house” where all the memories are made and children grow up here and then we look for our “house to retire in” later on. Ahhh…not to jump ahead but hopefully that’d be a nice plan!

So for now, we’ll have some summer fun and even more importantly, more quality family time

Of course, I’m still available and working but it’s nice to have something to look forward to at the end of the day.
