Happy Father's Day to Papa' Deano

First day off school for the boys and we decided to clean around the pool area for my Deano's special day on Sunday.
It took us all day and it was worth it! 

I purchased this lamp for $11.95 at a thrift store a couple of years ago and finally decided to take it down to the pool area. Perfect!

OK, this is not the original cover of our gazebo. Every single year the cover rips and we have to spend $200.00 to get a new one. This time I went to Home Depot and purchased a green house screen fabric for $75.00. Is not water proof but everything under the gazebo is stainless still, so...there you go! We installed it a couple of weeks ago and it took 2 days. It's not fancy but it does the work.


This birdhouse came back to life! A new coat of red paint and new words "The Reade's Shack".

$ 3.00 cushions for our retro chairs.

Deano is happy!
Happy Father's Day to all the Papa's.
Thank you Alan and Raffaele for working so hard on your first day off school.

Ciao for now
Rita
