    We definitely had them when I was a kid! We even had the chaise longue type (which we, of course, called a chase lounge....). They were actually pretty comfortable in comparison to hard plastic lawn chairs. Did leave an interesting pattern on the back of your legs, if I remember correctly....

    And you’re probably way too classy to have ever had one of those plastic webbing lawn chairs . And I’m not sure they even sell them any more! I think you have to be “of a certain age”, as they say, to understand the reference. “Older than dirt” is how I phrased it to my five year old grandson once. He paused for a nanno and then asked, “Babaa, how old is dirt?” Once I’d stopped giggling, I had to, as a geologist, tell him that dirt is pretty darned old...
    Palm trees. I used to have palm trees, on a sunset beach. I've seen my share of striped beach towels, though.

    I never had this type of lawn chair personally, but family? Oh yeah. Ours were that sort that look like straws woven together, though.

    Mine are... wait for it... plaid...
