Happy Friday! Hope you had a great week and are ready for the weekend – time to chillax and enjoy some down time hopefully. I managed to do just that this past week with a girlfriend for the first time ever aboard the “Fun Ship” – a cruise to Cabo San Lucas. How often do you take a break like this? It was such a treat. We had lots of laughs and enjoyed the break together with lots of time to get caught up with each others lives. We met some fun folks aboard the ship and have many funny stories to share! Of course I took my camera and snapped a myriad of photos that I will share another time once I have sorted thru them all. But today I have a treat for you-are you ready? Close your eyes, hands out….. I have posted the Shaw TV segment that lifestyle reporter of The Daily, Karen Elgersma and I shot to inspire Dining Alfresco as promised. I just received the dub from the tech department- yeh! The earlier post from July is here if you wish to revisit it. It includes a yummy recipe for pesto pasta with roasted veggies. Wouldn’t this taste great this weekend if you need something new on your menu?
If the weather keeps up you might just have one more chance to dine outside and savor the moment before the cooler weather sets in. I always find that these simple pleasures fill me up and bring such an appreciation for the season and a warmer welcome for the next. How about you? What helps you make the shift from summer to autumn? If you end up dining outside please share- I love hearing what your great ideas are.
Take a peek at our idea of a fun way to dine outside with out having to buy new outdoor furniture! This link below will take you to u-tube. When I am an expert at the behind scenes of a blog program I hope to be able to have the actual video frame resting right here for you- But for now pop over to u-tube for our 4 minute video.
Have a great weekend:)
Julie – Your outdoor living segment with Karen is fabulous… great decorating ideas!! Love your place settings and the gorgeous bouquets you created from wild flowers. There is nothing like enjoying friends and family in your own backyard. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my goodness, that was so great! I loved the utube! The settings were amazing, the clarity was excellent, and the content was fabulous! Made me wish I was there having tea with you both. Utube also took me right to last years Halloween decorating tips with Karen and Julie on it, and that inspired me for this year again! How fun! Keep it coming!
