The better the cushion

I went up to the roof terrace yesterday to just take it easy and enjoy the afternoon breeze and saw that the new cushions for the outdoor furniture had arrived (we had been given a heads up that they were being made). I think they're awfully smart looking, a white and taupe stripe, and a vast improvement over the mottled and faded floral pattern on the previous cushions. They weren't cheap; I think they cost several thousand dollars...so let's hope they last a very long time.
