It's amazing how much joy we can derive from simple things, isn't it?

My wife and I can experience a very pleasant evening out of a bottle of wine, some good bread & butter, and each other's company.

There was a time when that was about all we could afford (and the wine better be pretty cheap!). We've never lost our appreciation for such simplicity.

We prefer a nice dinner at home to something fancy as well. And if friends are available to join us, even better.
We also enjoy simple summer entertainment on our patio - we have everything set up to make serving and cleanup easy, with reusable dishes, a "handout" spot for putting the beverages in the outdoor cooler, 2 grills, lots of shady places to sit, a pond with a bubbling fountain, and water toys for the kids.

That sounds like a wonderful evening!
