It is my last day here. It was too short. I have been spoiled by getting to stay here for a month. I saw some old friends, and I met some new ones that I am so excited about. After a fifteen-minute conversation, I had to switch seats, but this woman and I quickly connected. She brought her friend over, and we talked story for hours. Today, I am alone while I get ready to leave. I like my alone time, but I love company too. I was afraid I would run out of time for clean up, so I am here by myself. I am pleased that I bought two chairs with ottomans and a teak set consisting of tall bar-height chairs and a beautiful table. I want them to keep that rich brown color, so I oiled them and then put a couple of coats of polyurethane on them. I was sad to let my recliners go, but these are comfy, too. I bought a couple of things online, but I am finding that they don't always look like the photo. I gave away a new rug and am not sure about the other. I also didn't like the chair pads I got. I am pretty happy now but will consider painting a new color.There are lots of seating options on the lanai.
