Ready for Company!!

Well, we are as ready as we can get right now. Scottie's office/the den/TV room is crowded, but at least much better organized. Until his desk moves to his permanent office, no one can use this as a bedroom 'cuz we can unfold the sofa bed. Love the window seat & have top down/bottom up blinds ordered for sun control.




The living room is in pretty good shape. I hung the big old empty frame around the clock. Like it.


The main guest room (for the time being "Hughie's room) is spiffed up. Curtains hung, bedspread washed to get rid of the cat vomit, all the usual things one does in preparation for company. I like the blues in this room with the pale greens. It's a very peaceful look.



My studio/office/laundry room/cat room, which is presently "Susie's room", is as good as it can be made for the time being. It's quite "busy". Too much stuff happening and furniture that is not even remotely coordinated. But with a bedspread on the day bed and lots of pillows, it's not too bad. Hung my Mom's old embroidery hoops around the painting above the bed. Think I like that too.

So, Hughie and Susie arrive tomorrow, Monday, and stay until Thursday. We have about 10 days activities in mind but will do our best to remember that Hughie is almost 96!


Cats are shut out of Hughie's room. Unfortunately for Susie, there is no other place than her room where their littler box and food can go. She's pretty adaptable though.

We're thinking 2 nights of eating at home and one night up to the Gateway to eat overlooking the river.

More later.
