  I have always wanted a glider. I had a glider chair once..  and I loved it.

  When Kevin was moving to a smaller patio, he put his glider up for sale. I jumped at the chance to own it.

  Every time I babysat their Girlz, Freckles and Molly, I’d have my morning coffee, read the paper/magazines/books or knit and watch the world/wild donkeys come by…there snuggled into a cozy corner. Molly on her blanket and Freckles checking out the morning scents left by midnight visitors ( cats) .  
  I’d have my cup sitting on the lotus lily pad leaf tables with their painted frogs on them.

  I know he and Matt liked them, but they were/are the end all favorite with me.

  I brought them home and set it in several places on my uncovered patio. They looked good anywhere I set them.
  The winds natural WINDS prevented me from sitting there very often.

  Early yesterday morning (3:00am) we had a drought breaking rain and I ran to get the pillows under cover.
  Right then and there I decided that no mater how crowded, the set was moving to the covered lanai.

  I would have to do it on my own… using my favorite ‘Do it Yourself tool, a rug.  
  

   … around the corner into the hallway
   

      shuffle shuffle furniture and across the family room
     
    
  I made it to the last doorway.. shifting furniture everywhere out of my way.

  It is close..on the narrower side of the lanai, but it does make a perfect wind
  protected reading and knitting spot.

  ( Picture the stack of magazines on the table top ) 
    
     and from the other direction  …
     
  Totally at peace, I had my coffee out there this morning with Daizy and the warm morning sun on my feet.
  How GOOD is that ?
