It's a bit of a pain in the backside, having that 85lb dog want to curl up in my lap these days because that's where he spent a lot of time as a pup!<br /><br />I did get that frickin thing done! And it also inspired me to work on getting some of our lower deck completed too. That jobs only been waiting a couple of years! :) Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17697779460254600164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688123750377283575.post-81300801914959735962013-07-28T22:53:48.753-06:002013-07-28T22:53:48.753-06:00Devil cushion...tee hee.

Improving your chances of seeing your bride with, or without, jammies! I get the dog thing remembering a visit to the vet when I told him how cute it was having our chocolate lab pup on the couch while I read. His comment, "How will you feel about an 85lb. dog on the couch? That's where this is headed." Point taken. And now it drives me nuts to see hair and slobber on the couch. Did you get the frickin' thing done yet?

I was wondering where it had been. <br /><br />We have the brand new gate, we've replaced the damaged cushions, we have our pajamas.(or not) All we're waiting on now is a few consecutive days of sunshine. :)Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17697779460254600164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688123750377283575.post-70714710767760051102013-07-28T08:37:26.252-06:002013-07-28T08:37:26.252-06:00Thank you so much.

Love the deck, and I am with you - where in the hang fire has summer been? Oh wait - I just found it, hiding out in the hills of Washington State because it SURE AS HECK hasn't been around my front porch lately. NOTHING BUT RAIN and clouds and drizzle and humidity for days and days (going on a month of daily showers). I keep feeling like I am waiting for summer to start, and it is almost over for me....(waaaaaaaah). <br /><br />So get out there on your deck, coffee in hand and enjoy what's left (pj's optional)!!!CLRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207164054349835246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688123750377283575.post-89799482649729965962013-07-27T13:02:57.954-06:002013-07-27T13:02:57.954-06:00ugh.
