Re: Storms

Chris, I have no group dining area at all in my house.  The "dining area"
can accomodate only 2 people comfortably, so it's fine for just me, but
otherwise useless.  If I have family over for dinner, I set up in the family
room.  The Fam Rm has my 4 tiered, 5 ft wide light stand which hold a lot of
over-wintered plants and cuttings etc.  In the winter it sort of dresses up
the room, makes it colorful - IMO anyway.  In summer I cover it with a
pretty curtain. It's just not possible to really clean it up well enough to
be presentable when it is empty.
