The One Thing I Miss About the Ex
By Celeste on Jun 18, 2009 in Real Estate
When I sold my last house, I had to leave behind my Jacuzzi. It was given to me as a 30th birthday present by my now ex-husband. Oh, it was ten years old, leaky, partly broken and difficult to maintain, but every time I drive by that house I get a longing for the good days when we could sit in the Jacuzzi under the stars.
I was surprised to see that Cal Spas is affiliated with Cal Flame-as in cal flame outdoor kitchens appliances. They make everything from cal flame bbq islands to sinks. I guess I can assuage myself with one of those, now that I live in a house where getting another Jacuzzi wouldn’t work out so well, but I still miss it. It’s one of those things that were sort of an outcome of the divorce. Even if I did get another one, it would probably just remind me of those days.
But now I have a new life under the pines in the town of Larkspur, Colorado. Even though I accept my situation and am happy with the setting of my new home, the house itself is just not as gracious and lovely as that one…and the missing jacuzzi is part of that.

Cooking outdoors is one of the nicest, most pleasant activities I can imagine. It’s even better when you can hop into your spa after dinner for a relaxing soak.

I love my outdoor BBQ island. In addition to the grill, it’s got a built-in fridge, lights over the grill, and it’s hooked into the gas lines for the house so we don’t have to worry about changing out the propane tanks. It makes entertaining a breeze.

Man, if you don’t have a built-in BBQ island in your back yard, you’re not living. There’s nothing better than grilling some steaks around sunset for a big group of friends.

When it’s summer in Arizona, where I live, it’s so hot I never want to cook indoors. But, I love to cook with my outdoor kitchen. And if I get too hot slaving over my grill, then I just hand off the cooking to someone else and jump in the pool.
