Here are some sunrooms and outdoor sitting areas. At this time of year, I always dream about what we may someday do out side our backyard. It is in need of some desperate work. But for now, I dream. Here are some pretty spectacular ideas.

1. I love a brick fireplace outside. Probably helps that my husband lays brick and stone for a living.

2. This is one of my favorites, because I would sit here ALL the time if I had this place.

3. I can't remember if I've posted this before, but I thought it's so great, it needed to be posted twice anyway.

4. Just found this picture, isn't it neat?

5. Ok, so this one, I'm not sure if it's outdoor, or a sunroom, but it would be neat if it was, wouldn't it?

6. Fun.

7. Love.

8. I don't know where this is, or what it is, but it is pretty awesome.

9. Before we moved to America as a kid, I thought this is what every front porch looked like.

10. So simple and so pretty.

11. Casual and Cozy.

12. Great look.

13. You would feel like you were always on vacation.

14. Pretty.

15. Mmmm.

16. Isn't it awesome?

17. Pretty fantastic.

18. Fabulous.

19. So cozy.

20. Again, I think this is part of a sunroom, but not sure. I have the other part of the picture somewhere in my archives, but didn't take the time to find it. Pretty amazing sunroom.

21. LOVE LOVE!

We just got back from a few days away with my family. We have family night once a week, but it was fun having a little extra time to be together and sailing my Dad's boat...which I went out on only once, but maybe next year when this one is a little older.

But for now, I'm okay being a land lubber with him.

I didn't take many pictures, but Tami did, and maybe she will post some.

The 4th

I tried to post these pictures this morning, but it was taking so long,

so I decided to do them later. So, here are some pictures of our 4th happenings.

We celebrated the 4th this year at some good friends', Arlan and Katie. We sat around on their wonderful deck and new patio...which I should have gotten some pictures of, because Arlan did a great job putting it together!

Our hosts.

Katie with Haven.

Jarod...the man lives in ballcaps. I don't have many pictures of him not wearing a hat.

They had the best toys.

Little Drew.

Gare Bear.

The kids loved the sparklers. here is Aria looking very sneaky.

Will, waiting to get a sparkler.

Cole couldn't be happier.

I don't have time to comment today, but thought I would post pictures you can enjoy!

Can't keep a good thing...

It's been a week since I've blogged, but I had my sister's two boys here for a few days so they could get away for their 10 year anniversary. I decided sitting and blogging wouldn't make a very good babysitter...makes a great mom though...so that's why I haven't posted.

I am not much of an etsy shopper...call me lazy, but I just hate taking the time LOOKING for great stuff. I'd rather go straight to where I know they have what I need. I love the Wal-Mart concept...even though you will see me at Meijers more often...everything I need in one spot.

However, I came across this fabulous etsy find! Great clutch bags...the blutch...no, I don't think that's what they are called.

This one is my favorite.

Great sizes.

Aren't they so fun?

Other ones I love.

Not usually a cheetah print fan, but love this one.

Have a great Weekend.
