Guest Preparation

In addition to the excitement of the impending time with friends, the flurry of cleaning and preparing that happens before people come to visit is also a gift. The projects and tasks that never seem to rise to the top of the list suddenly become critical to complete.

A good kitchen cleaning. The front porch spring reset. The new pillows and washing of blankets, all this prepared for the visit, but leaves a sheen of clean and comfort after the guests leave.

All of it is a gift; the loved ones making the effort to visit, and the loved ones preparing the home.
