I have been cleaning out junk and dusting spots that haven't known the unfiltered sun for their whole life in my home. I have just a bit more to do.
On Thursday, we are having the largest Thanksgiving group we've had in a
long time... 19 people...maybe 20. Children, grandchildren,
brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, great grammie, friends...our two
newest relatives will be there...Felix and Zeta. Everyone ranging from
5 months to 85 years. And we are going to have the best time ever!
A new coffee carafe arrived yesterday for our coffee maker. Now we can make lots of coffee. I just bought extra flatwear so we have enough extra for company. My son gets it when we are through using it. He's buying his first house in a few weeks, so he needs more than two forks now!
My daughter and her husband will be here late tomorrow, as far as I know. They will be sleeping in the loft. So they need a bed. The new mattress will be delivery by UPS any minute. On Friday the new mattress pad for it arrived. They need curtains up there, too. There haven't been curtains there until today... 14 years it's taken to do that.
My mother-in-law will be sleeping in the guest room. That is all set with fresh sheets, candies, tissues, cozy comforter.... My husband just left for the bus station about 45 minutes away to pick her up.
I'm so excited. I have to get back to tidying and cleaning. Tomorrow is pie baking day!
Everyone in Bloggerville...have a wonderful Thanksgiving! And even if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving where you are, I'm sure you are still thankful about something...so celebrate your family and the blessings you have been given in your own special way anyway!

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful time at your house, Donna. I'm so happy for your happiness! Have fun with that grandchild too! I loved the part about the flatware, & your son's two forks. Moms think of everything, don't they?
