Dear sarahsweets, Please, won't you tell us how your gathering went, and how you did what you needed to do? I see the post is from August.
My short answer to your question is: Yes. But the opportunity doesn't arise very much. I have no children; husband's work schedule is nuts; friends don't cross the border to come see me since I left the States; my in-laws are either too far away or complete anti-social types. So I live in relative undisturbed, unbroken quiet. Mental, and now physical, ill health have made it tough for me to have drop-in visitors. So it just doesn't happen. Besides which, in my experience, the warmest, most welcoming houses I've ever been in have been places where REAL people lived...kitchen mess, imperfect carpets, mis-matched towels, even a hastily made bed, always a reality. People can see past the surface, and appreciate people who are authentic and caring. You're not alone, miss sarah! Anyone who has any kind of domicile knows there's work involved. And lots of it, quite often. Wishing you peace and calm. Last edited by MuseumGhost; Nov 11, 2020 at 06:02 PM.. |

Hey I’m so sorry I didn’t come back to this thread. Life got in the way. I’m on my phone now but will get on the laptop after my daughter goes to school and thoroughly update everyone. __________________ "I carried a watermelon?" President of the no F's given society. |

Just be yourself and relax, having someone over is a good thing, its even better for you because its your backyard.

I don’t even invite people over and when someone tries to come over unexpectedly I hide, literally. It’s really bad. I want to be seen as a normal person, but then I do stupid ***** like that!
