We recently hosted 5 couples for supper club. I had the 6 men all eat together at our kitchen table inside (with the a/c) and the 6 women outside on the deck. {The thought was that the men (especially) would connect so I forewarned my hubby to have some conversation starters. LOL.}

After dinner we all came back together outside on our covered patio and played one of the games you suggested in your book, Sandy….the penny game. We had a great time and the men seemed relieved to have their (chatty) women back. :) We had also invested in having the backyard mosquito-proofed which helped immensely with making it more comfortable in the NC humidity.

In the midst of our property and building, we took some time to plant 3 grassy areas and they all actually would be perfect for eating outside…think I may incorporate that this summer

Love it! We’ve been having our summer brunch parties down on our lawn by the brook right next to the blooming hydrangeas. Couldn’t ask for better decorations :-). So easy to move our light outdoor furniture from our deck down there, and makes it seems like we’re in a whole different world! I’ll be posting about it (w/ pics!) tomorrow!

Love eating outdoors but, as I’ve probably mentioned here before, it’s entirely too hot in my neck of the woods to do that. Bummer.

This is exactly why I love the utility tables I have with extendable legs. Low? Coffee table on lawn for evening parties. Mid? Like your sis. High? Bar height on patio. I work hard on my yard; it’s the only place I entertain in summer months so it really is another room!

I’ve always wanted to eat on a table in the middle of a field.;-) These pictures are inspiring.
