what just happened?
So here's Day One of us being all alone again.
Hmmm. I think it's Sunday.
For the past three weeks we've been hosting a wonderful assortment of dear friends (seven folks over 21 days) here at the labs. It's been a blast - in spite of last Sunday, when I woke with chills, aches, fever and much vomiting. But that only lasted 24 hours, and I slept through most of it.
I felt some regret at not having a larger house, but I think everyone was pretty comfortable - even that night we had 5 extra folks sleeping here. Perhaps that's just my over-active hostess sensitivities, because I'm pretty much over the "bigger house" thing and on to the "view house" thing. *sigh* This too shall pass.
We cooked an amazing amount of food. We put an amazing amount of miles on the car. We played an amazing amount of board, card and tile games. Don't even ask about the amazing amount of liquor that flowed.
For the moment, I don't want to do anything, unless it's go away to a cushy vacation house for some solitude, and that's not happening. Life goes on: Zach's getting neutered on Tuesday, the garden is in dire need of my attention, and in a few short weeks another couple of folks are arriving to travel with us to Vancouver and Bowen Island BC.
druid labs: The fun might stop from time to time, but not for long. Oh, and the kitchen is always open. Come visit! Just not all at once, okay?

I'll shoot for the fall.
I wish we could go to Vancouver with you, but more important things are afoot here.
No way we could get out there then.
you both are the most wonderful host and hostess i've ever met. i had a wonderful time and will never forget it.
Can. Not. Wait.
I'll bring an extra bottle of krupnikas with me. ;)
Bee and I are still talking about it! It was wonderful and we'll probably be back sooner than later! Bee and I will cook! xox Anyone just feels instantly at home with you and Hobbitt... *snuggie hugs*
I just checked on flight tickets for the fall. :wink:
Wish I could do the Vancouver trip, but... oh well.
I think I have you beat - since the second week in February I have had to wash my guest sheets NINE times. Part of the reason we got a bigger house was so we could entertain more but that is a little more than I was counting on! We have had the house to ourselves since last Sunday. I'm still not fully recovered.
So here is my question? How often do you wash the guest room pillow shams and blankets? Obviously sheets and towels are washed after every visitor. But I have some shams that aren't slept on but are nice when reading in bed. On my own bed I wash the blankets every couple of months. Do I need to wash the guest ones after every visit? Once a month? Once a year? I don't want my house to be like those motels where you are afraid to sit on the bedspread.
EdieRaye, I don't do pillow shams. Not much on the decorative pillow thing, myself. Quilts and blankets get washed once a season if there's been company, and just shaken out if there has been none.
Your mileage may vary.
Thank you! If anyone complains I'll tell them the Universe told me it was okay :)
