Two thumbs up...my wife and I too! About 3pm we sit on our pool deck in two comfy chairs listening to Pandora favorites with WiFi speaker...all the flowers are out, music up, two bottles of bubbly daily. We count our blessings every day, knowing we are fortunate...but like you said we’re putting ourselves in vacation mode. 6pm bbq is on and we’re eating better than pre virus. 7:30 a movie nearly every night. Hope many others are doing the same.
I’d be doing the same if it was beers by the mobile home having hot dogs at night. Mindset.
That sounds absolutely lovely! You’ve got the right mindset to get through anything.
We farm, so we don’t get OFF the farm all that often, anyway. Our ‘lifestyle’ hasn’t changed one bit, other than that week when we had ‘The Great TP Scavenger Hunt’ going on by unprepared people. I had a case on hand - usually do - because I really do NOT like shopping for ‘stuff’ unless I have to.
We had a bright, sunny, warm day (60’s) so I swept the front porch and got it all set up with comfy chairs and such in anticipation of a summer afternoon spent like yours. :)
