patio set

I did get the patio set... but I had to order 2 extra chairs as it didn't come with 4 chairs but 2 chairs and a love seat and a coffee table that opens up... I'm using the coffee table in the family room along with the love seat. then Leo went and got me a foot stool to match. I got it at Target. Don't know why they don't keep the extra chairs in stock and I have to pay the shipping. But they do come right to the house and thats a good thing I guess. I really love the set and the pads on the chairs and the foot stool match the red of my new sofa. they are striped, a red color with white and gold. I will take a picture as soon as we get the full set and then we have to get a table and umbrella. the table they had was too small so we will try and get something to match. I always liked wicker furniture and wanted it in the family room because its so small and it seems more like a sun room this way. Rick was saying I could add another window but I think I will pass on that. During the winter I can put 2 of the chairs in the family room. we will then have more sitting for holidays etc.
Remember the picture I took of the zoo lion last summer? I sent it in to the Press Gazette for their weekly picture section and it is on the front page... made my day. Now I can say I'm published. haha  Probably because no one else sent one in of the big kitty and since he died last week it was news. I think it was a pretty good picture though. :) Its in the entry 2 down.
hope you are havinga  nice day, sandra

since I was in here tonight I decided to add the picture just one more time, haha  had to show you it really did get in the paper.   :)
