    Very nice, I was looking at them a few years ago, I thought it would look nice in my yard but when I looked, they were too expensive .
    ...we have some patio furniture that is over 30 years old and it does hold up great, especially with it sitting out doors in our snowy winters.

    My furniture is really really old also. Need new cushions. It all goes under the parachute out in the top driveway but it is rough. I might make new cushion covers this year as I have 2 couch size things and 4 chairs. That's allot of money. That won't be done till after the garden tour for I have very little time with that and my sister's house.

    I put some new life into my old furniture last summer by spray painting them. It was a plastic set that I had bought a decade ago and I had avoided painting them because I really didn't trust these paints that were safe for plastic. But I see they have really come a long way. I used a Krylon brand and it turned out well

    Ok I was on my way home from our garden club meeting and just look what I would standing along the road...She has a broken arm but she will be on the mend very quickly. I promise you that. She had fallen over in this guys garden over the Winter and broken her arm and his wife said, "Get rid of it." And so he did. And she jumped into my car with allot of his help, of course.

    This is a case of, right place right time...

    Nothing like that ever happens to me but how I wish it would. I have a feeling she's going to be as good as new very soon Barb. :) Do you have a place in mind for her in your garden?

    That bridge looks spiffy. Do you plan to plant any plants near it or to encourage growing on it? It looks really good as it is, but it might look nice with some sort of growth as well.

    Yes I would love to put morning glories on it. I just can't decide what color...
