I love your slogan Every day is a Friday on the Patio. I think your blog is very well written and has some very useful information in it. I specifically loved the blog about the umbrella stand you made out of the cable spool. I will have to try and make one of those for our patio at the lake.
Julie, it was a pleasure to meet you in person!
Mandi: We love our slogan too and practice it almost every day. Spending time outdoors on our patio is a delightful refreshment we can enjoy as much as we want. That’s why we feel that developing an outdoor living space as close as your backyard is so important to personal peace and happiness. When you get your patio umbrella stand finished please post a photo here so we can see your work.
I was just introduced to your blog by The Mann Team. I couldn’t help but binge it. It is very well written, informative and entertaining. I can’t wait to try out some of the tasty recipes!
Steve: Welcome to living on the patio. We love The Mann Team! They are a great resource for real estate in the Roanoke valley. Thank you for your kind words about our blog. We feel that expanding your living space to the outdoors should be a fun and creative endeavor. And it should encompass all aspects of how we live, which is why we have included recipes for patio food (let us know which recipes you try and if you liked them). We hope you enjoy future blog posts and always welcome comments and suggestions. And please do remember: Every day is Friday on the patio.
Awesome! For me it took all the work out of planning. The suggestions on what to serve and even what to do makes me feel like I can even entertain. Thanks Julie and Randy
