This
week we have a houseguest. My friend, Lisette, who I met when she was
working here a few years ago is visiting us from the Netherlands. I am
having a good time, but it is very easy to worry that perhaps she might
be bored out of her mind! After all, I'm a stay-at-home mom with two
kids--not quite the life she is accustomed to. Yesterday, we did go
out for a bit, earlier in the day with the kids, and then again without
them (thanks Rick!) to go have dinner and do some shopping. Hopefully
today we will find some places to go that she would enjoy and the kids
won't be too bored.
This
is the first time we've actually got to use our 'guest room' for
someone who has stayed more than one night. Of course being the
summer, there is no need to pile on tons of warm cozy blankets and
quilts like I have always imagined doing. Instead, I left the bed with
a set of clean, cool sheets and set a few blankets of varying weight
nearby. As I walked by the room yesterday, I glimpsed that somebody
had rumpled the sheets considerably.
Look closely at the culprit.
It's
Eddie, our kitten of 8 months, who has finally found the perfect
sleeping spot. He was all curled up and remained that way for a few
hours.
