Last night, we had some good friends over for our last 'adult' gathering before we leave for China. It was great seeing people we hadn't seen in a while and catching up on our lives. The evening weather was perfect, the mix of friends was energized and fun was had by all. Unfortunately, John & I are rather 'dehydrated' today and feeling the effects of little sleep...... ;-) I guess we should get used to the the lack of sleep part! It would have been nice to sleep in today but we have another busy day ahead of us. Sleep. Sweet sleep. How elusive you are... Shall we meet again this evening?
Hosting a gathering is also a great motivator for house-work. The house was cleaned from top to bottom, the back decks got their spring scrub down wash, John got the 3 new glass bedroom doors installed & stained (still needs varnish, hardware & frosting film), we dug out the summer patio furniture, the back yard gardening was done (removal of the dead shrubs, weeding, planting of the new shrubs/herbs/vegetables) & the misc piles of 'stuff' that accumulated around the house were dealt with or hidden. Oddly, we find that our house is always cleaner and our liquor cabinet is fuller AFTER a party than it was when we started. It's a mystery...
