Everybody as their space.
My dear wife Karen has established three distinct seating areas in our wonderful backyard oasis.
Best for social distancing and everybody’s safety if and when the kids and/or neighbors Georgia and Bert come over for a bit.
Let's take a break and kvetch* about the small stuff for awhile~if it gets too big, you're outta here!

I keep telling hubby I want a picnic table in the back, even if we don’t have guests. Sure, I have a nice plastic chair (and a new heavy-duty camp chair, which I*’ll report on shortly), but it’s not the same as a picnic table. Maybe some day.

Yes, that would be an awesome addition, CM. The ‘some days’ keep us going.
