After we bought our house and started thinking about the new design and remodel, the one thing that was and forever will be most important to me is a house for entertaining. I wanted a kitchen that had a big island for people to gather around, a dining room table that extends to sit lots of people at, french doors from our family room to our patio so it feels like an extension of the house, a big patio with a bbq, lots of furniture, and heat lamps to stay warm after the sun’s gone down, and a yard for running around, lawn games, and dogs. And this is exactly what we have and boy do I love when the house is full of family and friends.
Got a little sidetracked, anyways, Memorial Day. What a beautiful, hot sunny day it was. Couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect … well that’s not exactly true … a couple of umbrellas would have been nice for some shade in the backyard. We had 20 people over. Grilled hotdogs and hamburgers and everyone brought a side dish. Played ladder ball, corn hole, and bocce ball. Got a little sun burnt. Drank Coors Light. Celebrated our veterans who gave their life fighting for our country. And made great memories with family.
Since Marty and I both thought it was such a wonderful day we decided to also host the Fourth of July! My dream of being the house where everyone gathers and parties at is now my reality!
