Setting up the patio
As soon as the deck is sealed and all the other items repaired, we will begin setting all the furniture back on the patio. I'm getting a little ahead of myself here because I am getting so excited for the reception. Here are the things I can think of at this point, but we will not be able to start until Wednesday Oct. 12. Then we will really be pushing it, so the 12th and 13th will be extremely busy.
