Now that's more like it. When it's just Mimi and me here at the house, things are kept pretty much neat and tidy. Mimi likes a house ready for a surprise guest to arrive at any moment, and find things in good order. And, that's all well and good. Our daughter Jo Ann, her husband Erich, and the two kids Alex and Connor, arrived yesterday, and so much for the neat and tidy. This morning while things were still quiet, I walked through the house and saw, the kitchen counters a clutter with a variety of things that aren't normally even in the house, much less left on the counter. The living room floor was strewn with toys and baby "stuff", the dining room table has a partially worked puzzle, awaiting the return of someone to find another pieces that fits. A whole bunch of unfamiliar shoes at the door, even some very little ones. Those strange jackets on the chair at the door. We sure aren't ready for that surprise guest to pop in, or.... on the other hand, may be we are. I can only say, that the house like this give me a warm feeling down inside, that a neat and tidy house can't come close to. Not to mention the little quick footsteps as three year old Alex comes charging into my office calling "hay Bapa, here you are". Some pictures of the "warm feeling from last night and this morning.
