Timing Couldn't Be Better

Good thing I got the family room cleaned up, well mostly, and got the table cleared off so it can be used as a place to sit and eat again. My niece is in the area on a short leave from the Air Force while she is between bases. She is also our goddaughter and we consider her very special to us. She came over to visit and had dinner with us on Monday. We just ate a simple salad and had grapes from our grapevine. And yippee we were able to sit at the table together instead of trying to balance our plates on our knees in the midst of the mess. It was a wonderful visit. Almost as good as having our daughter home, but not quite. Our daughter did call while our niece was here. From this end it sounded like they had a crazy conversation. Of course that is not unusual, they always do. The girls are close even though they are 5 years apart. When the girls were growing up I sometimes would have my niece with us when we were out and about and people would think both girls were my daughters. I would have to explain one is my niece and one is my daughter.

Now it sounds like I will be hosting Thanksgiving this year. So that means I really need to get to the rest of the house and put up my fall decorations. On to other projects to help me get ready for that. Now that it is cooling off, that should make it easier to tackle more housecleaning. These hot flashes make it hard to stay focused on things if it is also hot out there.

Hope everyone had a good Wednesday.
