The past few days were very nice and we managed to have dinner and lunch outside a couple of times. Looks like the rain and cooler temps will put a halt to that. But I love that, when we do have nice days, I have a nice place to sit out on my back deck. I love putting out a fresh tablecloth (ok, the vinyl ones but they are so cheap and I can rotate through when one gets too gross or the pattern is tiresome) and finding somehting to hold down napkins. It also lets me use some of my other dinnerware (plastic or melamine plates). Beca actually got Steve to agree to eat outside several times in the past few days. We even have dessert outside too. Yeah, we have to walk in out for every little thing but it's just such a nice thing to do. Until the pollen comes...
I love small dinner parties. Beca even thinks we are supposed to have dinner with people on a regular basis and when we don't, she's asking when we are going to someone's house or when they are coming to ours. I love having just a few people over for a meal and chatting. It's not that we can't have dinner on our own. I enjoy that too. It's just nice to catch up with people over a meal when it's a small group and not a big group.
I love that we're getting into a season where these two things can both occur more frequently!
