Manic Weekend


We have a new resident at the house. Her arrival was sudden; it was one of those situations where a need arose and we needed to act on it quickly. Obviously we weren't prepared for it -- who is? -- but Cheryl kicked into high gear and got the bedroom ready, and I dealt with the issue of driveway space by locating a storage facility for the Camry so there's enough room for an extra car.

We became aware of the need on Friday, and spent the weekend making preparations (except for the storage facility, which wasn't open til Monday) so that our guest could be accommodated by Sunday night.

It was fun, but hectic.

So now we have a 10x20 storage space into which we are putting a lot of boxes which have been sitting around the house for millions of years, packing them tightly around the Camry so it is completely insulated for the winter; and we're setting up the front parlor as a workspace for her; and the third bay of the garage is almost cleared up enough to set up my winter shop.

And the cats have someone else to play with!

How fun, getting a room ready for a guest! It's almost like nesting for a new baby. Our little guestroom has hosted people of all ages over the years, friends and relatives, and even complete strangers. Enjoy!
