Dear Reader,
Company's coming. A friend is visiting for four days. This is the first time my friend has stayed in my home when she's come to visit and I'm a bit nervous because I want everything to be "just right". I like to make people feel pampered. That's what I loved about the restaurant business. (I used to own one.) Making my customers feel that their comfort was my most important mission always brought me joy.
I live in a historical home. My guest room is small, but it has a private bathroom, television, and an antique reading light on the bed. Even the mattress is comfy. It's brand new--not an old recycled one from my own bed.
The weather is supposed to behave, temps should be around 78 degrees while she's here. (When you live in Florida and company visits, you feel personally responsible to provide sunny days.) I bought an extra, oversized pink towel, yellow flip-flops and two low sitting chairs, so we're beach-ready. And heaven knows I can provide reading material.
As the Florida vacation postcards all say, "Wish You Were Here!"
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
