Whether it's on the veranda or the seawall, dining will never be the same. You can spend all day out here and no one will mind the least. Just ask the gardener to bring out the ice chest and you can forget about the world at least for a day or two.

And to save Dottie more than just a few steps, the gardener can move the smoker/grill so that the action is closer to you and her cooking will still be sizzling.
