Final Countdown

After many months of searching and having our hopes dashed time and again, our new outdoor furniture finally arrived.  I greeted the delivery man with such excitement I think he left here wondering if I had one too many espresso shots.  With a little irony in his voice he wished me luck piecing the set together.
