Decadence

Ahhhh...
It is finally finished. The deck at GardenSpirt, I mean.

And the hot tub that inspired it is also fnished -- finally moved into place, filled with water, heated to just the right temperature (101 degrees F. to be exact)and crystal clear.

It was time for a test drive...er, swim...er, soak.

And it was all about decadence.

It started with my sugar craving last night. Not only did I buy a coconut cake from the frozen food section, but grabbed a pint of Vanilla Swiss Almond on impulse. I pulled it out of the freezer tonight for just a bite or two.

Victor (oh husband of mine) wanted a taste. Then he suggested crass decadence: taking the Haagen Dazs to GardenSpirit and eating ice cream while we were in the hot tub. I gotta tell you, it WAS decadent! We loved it --cold tummies and warm bodies -- a great combo. I recommend it, really!

The new hot tub is deep and wide - so much bigger than our personal hot tub. And there are two sets of jets -- luxurious. The blue light shone underwater; it even has a dimmer.

I can honestly say that the guests at GardenSpirit WILL have a wonderful spa experience -- I tested it myself. Next step -- fixing the fireplace so we can have a roaring fire to come home to after that hot tub experience!

Well, gotta go back and make some beds. Amy and I are working on finishing the decorating and soon...my first two guests will arrive for tea. I plan to invite small groups of people for a First Look at GardenSpirit over the next few weeks. If you'd like to come, let me know. I'd love to have you!
