Cleaning Up for the Visit

R’s family came for a visit, and that meant that we needed to shift focus a little and modify our plans. The visit came a little out of the blue, I was under the impression that they were coming in a few weeks, but we were prepared. I like the idea that we can be a bit more spontaneous with guests, and when you really get down to it, family should be, and is, welcome at any time. It’s just that with parents, you want to give a favorable impression, even if your daily lives may be a bit unkempt, or rather, very unkempt.

So, we scrambled a bit and did our best to clean up, but we had a horrendously busy week, and were a bit short on time. Throw in the market and the bad weather, and you can only do so much. Not that it really mattered, because R's parents are great guests, they are not demanding or critical, like some other parents that we know (i.e., mine).

Consequently, we had a great weekend, maybe a bit too short, but fun and thoroughly enjoyable. So much so that we hope to see them again, soon. Also, because there was so much to attend to, we decided to skip next week’s market, so life will be a little less hectic, and I’m all for that.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to sanja gjenero for the pic.
