Jim says I always get “testy” before we have guests. He’s right as he often (not always) is. I want to make sure the house is clean, a menu has been partly set with their likes and dislikes in mind, and that they have current guides for their visit so they can do what they want to do while visiting.
There is so much to do here and families like different things, so I try to tailor recommendations to our guests. In the end I think we’re lucky to be where we are for even a brief period of time and we’d like to share it with friends and family.
There’s a family coming in next week and I’m just trying to keep the house clean and keep my lists ready for food et al. That drives Jim crazy as he believes he should go through the house like a human tornado and let someone else pick up after him That would be me. But that’s the battle.
I know it’ll go well if I only remind him to come home from work at a reasonable hour to greet his guests. Fingers crossed, Dee
