Just because I am in love with the whole thing.  Thanks to James Butchart for the photo!

Don't Fence Me In

Here's the finished fence.  Jacob had to come back to do the sloping fence as I'd added it on the day he installed the side fence.  Now to rearrange all the patio furniture at The Silver Suitcase.

Season is Almost Here!

I was terribly excited to see that they'd taken down the iron fence around the shuffleboard courts at The Happy Traveler.  It's been so long since I played- I might need a refresher on the rules.  Simultaneously, lots more RVs have started to appear at the park.

Airstreams in Orbit

My family in Ohio (Hi Mom, Dad and Susie, Morgan, too!) sent me two strings of patio lanterns that are shaped like Airstream Trailers.  They look like they are silver satellites strung up outside! They really make the patio look finished!

My cabinet guy, Jacob came to install my fence.  A fence that keeps me from seeing right out my bedroom window into the sewer line of my neighbor at The Happy Traveler RV Park.  It was only going to be down one side, but I got carried away and had him create a 90 degree fence with a downward-angled slope on one side.  It's really made a huge difference in how private the patio feels.

First Party!

It wasn't really much of a party, actually.  I had two friends over since they're all so damn curious about this trailer.  All of my lawn furniture was delivered, and it makes quite a transformation in the appearance of the space.  I bought the dinette chairs from Pelago ($90), the table from Palm Springs True Value (I think it was $199, it's a heavy metal one).  The two chaise lounge chairs came from a garage sale in Palm Springs ($200 for the pair), and the two Brown Jordan lounge chairs from the 60's came from a tag sale in Beaumont ($40 for the pair, thank you very much).  The artichoke light is a knockoff from Ikea.
