Tom's parents headed home today. We went to breakfast and then pointed them to the highway. Our yard looks so nice and I can park in my side of the garage for the first time since we moved in last year. They took a dresser I want to refinish with them. I had started it myself a while ago. But now that I am pregnant being around nasty chemicals is a no-no. So they will fix it up pretty and bring it back in time to outfit the nursery.
Now I am getting both guestrooms ready for our next visitors. My cousins are coming from Maine tomorrow on their way to California. It seemed so silly for them to stay in a hotel by the airport. So we are forcing them to stay here and then Tom will shuttle them to the airport at the crack of dawn Tues. morning. I just love having visitors!
