Metamorphosis Monday - Adirondack Chairs that I love

Last year while vacationing in Missouri at Lake of the Ozarks, we say Adirondacks everywhere. Not for me, I thought, they don't look comfortable. Well, boy was I wrong! I fell in love with the one below - but not to the tune of $350.00. I'm not saying it wasn't worth it. They were hand painted, and had 3 coats of paint, plus a sealer on them. I'm sure there was a lot of work that went into them. I knew I wanted one "someday".

Then we bought a new Lake house, and I knew I had to have my OWN Adirondacks. They were $59.95 each at Ace - and the footstool that went with them - $29.95. Ouch! But okay. The day before I was going to go get some, I got a flier from Ace. OMG! They are $29.95 and $9.95. I went in right away, and they only had one in the box.....

Oh boy, DH is so happy with me right now............................................

The only other one they had was already put together!!YeHaw!

This the special mixture the made for primer. Totally cute!

I thought about leaving them pink, for a little bit, but then painted them red. I love the way you can have your paint match exactly what you want these days. Just a little scan, and badum bump! It works! The photo above doesn't even look red, does it, hmmmmm......

They are pretty happy in their new home. My DH and I sat down and enjoyed them after taking the photos.

Thanks so much for stopping by , I had to show my new favorite photo again, with the chairs. Please join me as I go over to Susan's. http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/

Outdoor Wednesday - Cancun Vacation 2010

It took a little bit, because some of the members our group got to get "personal" with the TSA at the airport!

But we were happy to be out of the cold and wet, and into the warm and balmy weather of Cancun. We had never been to Cancun, and were really looking forward to it. Our resort that had been chosen 1 year before - caught fire 2 weeks before our arrival, so we were moved to a different one. One that was new, under 6 weeks since it's opening. We even enjoyed some of the funky things along the highway on the way to the resort.

We spent a lot of time at the pool, which was beach-side.

Sparkles like diamonds!

I noted that the color of the water is different on this side of Mexico than on the west side. I think the water is more turquoise on this side.

The landscaping and buildings were beautiful. Instead of a room, we each had a condo of our own, with either one or two bedrooms, two or three bathrooms, living/dining room and kitchen. We spent 5 days enjoying the sun and fun, the first week of December (my birthday!).

On our last morning, this is the little guy that watched us eat our breakfast, in the dining room. He's really intent in looking me over, as I am him! The waiting staff said it was a Spider Monkey.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, I love to have your feedback. I also love to share my photos and trip fun. Outdoor Wednesday can be found at the below link:

Pink Saturday - Emma on Vacation

Emma and gorgeous DD#2 on the boat, on vacation. Look at all that pink!

She had just got out of the water and was all snuggie sitting next to me.

The joke this year is that Emma falls asleep every time she's on a boat, and so I join with her family in making sure there is a photo EVERY time! Some day she's going to love us!

Thanks so much for joining me today as I celebrate another Pink Saturday. You are most welcome any time, to visit me here in our small town.
