…………………..As this summer is quickly drawing to a close, with shorter days, and dropping temperatures……Labor Day weekend is almost here…..This weekend also means the end of many summer rentals, and it always felt like the end of the summer for me…I thought it would be fun to post a picture of a 23 year old me on Labor Day Weekend…circa 1971-72…….I shared a house with three other young friends of mine. It wasn’t a beautiful house, but one we could all afford……The beautiful house on the beach, that I shared with Jac, came much later……This house, which we dubbed “Grey Gardens”, was a short walk to the beach. It was high on a hill, and the views of the Atlantic ocean were fabulous……..We had great times swimming , and playing paddle ball on the beach all day, taking turns cooking dinner, and going out at night…..I never cooked! I was always on the clean up detail…….Sadly, all but one of my friends are gone, but the great memories will always be with me.

……………………..I have been searching for the perfect, for me, fire pit chairs!…..The first one I ordered from Amazon Prime, though quite beautiful, was too small and not comfortable……It went back…….The second one I ordered said in the description that it was XXL……Yes, it was larger than the first chair, but still not large enough…..It was very attractive in orange and grey with a side tray table. It too was a little too small, and I couldn’t imagine sitting at the firepit for too long in this chair…….Back it went!……..Then I ordered two more chairs hoping one would be THE CHAIR! They arrived on separate days so I had to wait to compare…….The KING CAMP oversized sofa folding camping chair with a cooler bag and a cup holder in the black and grey was just the right size, and very comfortable. It was more of a sling chair style……………..Then the OZARK TRAIL XXL folding chair with the side table, padded seat and back arrived in the green and grey……..I loved the size….it was even larger than the King Camp chair. For me this was the winner! I really hated to return the King Camp chair even though I ordered three more of the Ozark chairs…..so I gave it to Lou…….He said it would be perfect for the beach when he goes fishing!….The three other chairs arrived. ……Now I’m set to sit around the fire pit!

…………………The BRAND NEW……..STERLING SILVER HOOP….J427321……has a little TWIST with a whole lot of SHINE!………It measures 1 1/4″ long by 3/16″ wide.
