First Luncheon on the deck (March 31st)

There was an ever-so-brief window of warmer weather and sunshine last Thursday, so I surprised Janice by setting up lunch on the protected back deck.  It was windy, and within an hour or so the good weather moved to gladden hearts elsewhere.  This is our usual lunch:  homemade soup (my chicken broth with an onion and noodles), sliced cold veggies, bread, jam, peanut butter (the sole reason I eat carrots and celery).  Simple.

The card table and chairs were our wedding presents from Janice's parents nearly 46 years ago.  We resolutely keep using them, though each table leg requires that final extension once the table is in position.  The table cloth is a gift from our wonderful cleaning lady/friend, the grape trellis (above) was built by Aaron and me, the deck by Sig and his late son (and me), the garage is a pull-down for sure, and Janice is trying to keep the table cloth from blowing off.
