Preparation

One week from today we are having a houseful of people (maybe). We've invited all of Joe's family over for a visit - and to see Matt while he is in town. Today we mowed the grass, filled in some holes in the yard, and did some general yard maintenance. Yesterday I trimmed my Wisteria - gave it a Mohawk. The sides are nice and trimmed, the top is crazy. Joe got rid of a bunch of vines and donor trees that had grown up around the apple tree. He trimmed them a month ago - but finally got rid of all the wood this weekend. We also got rid of all the dead limbs that were piled around the side of the house. They make great firewood!
Something about having company that makes regular chores more critical!
We are exhausted!

I spoke to Dad today. He's preparing for his move to Columbus. Getting his papers in order, preparing to close up shop in Ft Myers for a while.

I also spoke to Matt today. He is ready for the trip and has his preparation complete. He'll be leaving early Tuesday morning, should be home for dinner at ----- wait for it ----- Skyline!
