Of Visitors and Hosts

My brother, Don, and sister-in-law, Kathleen, visited me early this week.  We had a grand and glorious visit!  For an account with photos, please read my Relationship Blog, "Reunion," www.stoptwistedlove.blogspot.com on July 29, 2014.

As far as I'm concerned, Don and Kathleen are the perfect guests.  They arrived around the time they were expected, they didn't have weird dietary needs, they were friendly and clean.  And they were appreciative of my cooking!

I tried hard to be the perfect hostess.  I wanted their room and bathroom to be perfectly beautiful and comfortable.  I thought of what they would need in the way of linens, grooming essentials, etc., and provided them.  Of course, the house had to be as clean and neat as I could get it.  And the yard got a fairly thorough weeding.  I even watered the grass so it would be super-green (it was starting to look a bit dried out).

Since the three of us had some 'free' time, I suggested a few local activities, and they chose to go wine tasting.  We went to Equus Run Vineyards and found some new wines that were quite good.  They bought some to take home with them to Florida.

The family had not seen Don and Kathleen for quite a few years so they came for a dinner party.  They all ate and chatted the evening away.  Lots of photos were snapped - and posted on Facebook, of course!  It was lots of fun!  We will all have these fond memories for years and years!
