Setting a good table! ie Generosity of Spirit & Genuine Hospitality!

TIDBIT!

It’s called BRELLA LIGHTS® – PATIO UMBRELLA LIGHTING SYSTEM. An innovative outdoor lighting idea that easily attaches to the ribs of an 8 rib patio umbrella and provides an alluring festive or romantic atmosphere to compliment any after dark patio or deck activity.

BRELLA LIGHTS® is the perfect lighting to set the mood. The delightful aesthetically appealing subtle glow of soft light from our enhanced IN-LINE light design offers an inexpensive and decorative way to extend your outdoor entertaining long after the sun goes down. And, when the sun goes down, that’s when we really shine.

With the convenience of light and the “Power Pod” receptacle at tabletop you can read, watch TV, listen to music, work on your laptop, blend a smoothie, cook dinners at the table on an electric Wok or just relax and enjoy late night gatherings and conversation on your patio with family and friends. Fits patio and market umbrellas up to 9 feet in diameter with 8 ribs.

I came across this really neat company! . Please Click here. Yahoo, managed to follow Cathy's directions to a tid re: "Click here"; however, our computer is not being overly cooperative. Perhaps you are able to access the "Click here". Nonetheless, I will perservere with this; many thanks again, Cathy, for your wonderful & helpful instructions.

The tidbit description was so apt and clear; that I thought it best to copy it; along with the 2 photo images.

Am thinking that with summer here, so many of us are extra appreciating being outdoors. The company I just mentioned, also supplies other enticing bittids.

To update a bit, we invited Alan's Mum and Dad over here today for lunch. We so enjoyed them and our patio this afternoon. We had fresh herbs and lettuce from 'our garden produce' in our scampi salad; as well as shrimp croissants, fruit salad with lime sorbet; garnished with mint, also fresh from our 'patch'. We HAD one cherry tomato (the only one that was ripe!) that served as a bit of colourful decoration. It was soooooooo intoxicating! And a lovely bouquet of our Queen Elizabeth Roses was on our antique glass patio table. (July 25th post is about the patio furniture)

Alan's parents do not get a chance to relish fresh asap picked produce etc; so it was an extra special time. They were so relieved to get out of where they are living currently; even for just a few hours.

Tidbit - Setting a good table, creates an ambience, a mood, a warm welcome. When it is done with generosity of spirit and genuine hospitality, that is what matters most! Even those on a "shoestring budget" can improvise and create a loving and caring atmosphere; which provides wonderful memories.

God Bless.
