A little slice of heaven
The weather has been about as perfect as it gets here in Austin with warm days and cool nights just right for sitting outside on the deck with a fire in the chiminea. Except that the deck was covered with crap from the remodel and the chimenea was in some far corner of the backyard. Not anymore. Rob busted ass yesterday and cleaned off the deck. Today he moved the chimenea into place and set up an impromptu weatherproof coffee table out of stuff we had laying around. I ran off to HEB and splurged by spending $3.50 on two strings of white christmas lights, another $2.50 on a bundle of wood and $9 on beer. I know $15 doesn't sound like much to some people, but on our budget that's a fair chunk of change. However, it was SO worth it. There are few things that bring me more joy than sitting outside on a cool fall evening watching a fire and drinking a few cold ones. What can I say? I am, and always have been, a cheap date :)
