Poolside Fun

With it being summer and all, we are so fortunate to have a pool to cool off in.
We have a great palapa to enjoy, along with an outdoor kitchen, double chaise lounge
and floats.  My husband and I recently were sitting in our double chaise lounge under a  huge umbrella, surfing the internet with our ipads.  We were thinking we need a larger lounger to accomodate us and our dogs.  Our dogs are so spoiled.




 We also bought new cushions for our bar stools and two other loungers.  We ventured into a patio store outlet and saved $$$'s.  All of the cushions are Sunbrella.



We recently ordered this beautiful lounger for our poolside. I found a coupon online for free shipping.
It would have been over $300.00 to ship this baby.

It has 5 pieces that pull apart or go together, if you want to lounge. The canopy can be lowered or raised.

Make sure when you are ordering online to search for coupons.  You can save quite a bit of money.
Retailmenot is a good site.

We were invited to dinner with friends recently and I was asked to make an appetizer.
I decided to make a cheese fondue with fresh veggies and bread.  I created a swiss fondue mostly because our friends spent many years in Switzerland.  Silly me, I forgot to take pictures.
I ended up using Tyler Florence's fondue.

I will make it again, but I will experiment with different cheeses.

Happy summer.

  7. Hi Linda, Your pool is gorgeous and I love the new lounger. They are so comfortable and such a nice addition to your poolside. The view over the mountains just adds to the beauty.
    I know you are so enjoying every minute spent here with family and friends. I would be lost without our pool here in Texas. It is like always being on vacation right in your own backyard, isn't it?
    Yes, I also use on line coupons. They are such a savings helper.

    Have a blessed day~~

  13. Ok, forget my vacation to Italy, I'm coming to your house and laying poolside for 2 weeks, Linda!
    Everything looks so lovely and I'm glad you're having the opportunity to relax and enjoy it. I love that new chaise with the cover! How cosy that is :)
    I hope we're going to talk soon, WW, I'm missing you!!

  14. As much as I love living here in the Kansas City, MO area, I'm suddenly wishing for a change of zip code!!! WOW!!! Beautiful, Linda! It all fits right in with your lifestyle and surroundings. Just gorgeous!

    I just went to that RetailMeNot site. I had heard about it but never visited it. For you to have been able to save all that on shipping just gave me the push I needed. Great savings!

    Enjoy your summer months in this beautiful oasis!

  18. What a fabulously beautiful yard you have Linda! It looks like a five star resort!

    The lounges you ordered are my favorite. A couple of years ago I was in Singapore and there is a beach there that has dozens of them for free during the week, but on the weekends you would pay around $30 I think for the day. So comfy!!

    My husband just told me about retailmenot last week. I had never heard of it before, now twice in one week! I bookmarked them for future reference.

    Thanks so much for visiting and following Linda! (i'm a new follower of yours via bloglovin)

  19. You really do live in Paradise! That VIEW is amazingly gorgeous! Love the new lounger. Enjoy!!!! I have also found that while shopping online, if you leave something in your cart, you will usually get an e-mail saying they are offering free shipping!

  20. First off I'm jealous of your pool and oasis you've created. I really miss our pool from our last house. It would be so nice to jump into on these hot days and/or weekends.
    And wow that's a cool lounger. So I guess the next picture I see will have you lounging in that lounger. ;o)
    Thanks for sharing
