...and I suspect they'll be a little more than tired when getting here! Their flight left Milwaukee at 6:00 a.m. I am not sure if they stayed overnight in MKE to make it easier on themselves or no, never asked the question. We have no plans for the rest of the day except just that---rest!!! Or whatever!

In a few minutes I'll be heading out, first to have my car cleaned and washed, then over to church to finish setting up for communion. After church I'll head to the airport to wait for my peeps to soar in, expecting to land about 11:15 a.m.

Already this a.m. I've worked up a sweat, attempting to clean the dust/dirt from my metal doors. I'd held off cleaning them until after the roof work was completed but wanted them to look half way decent for my guests. First I tried using the dusting tool on the vacuum cleaner but found little results. Then took my long handled fluffy duster thingy and moved the dirt around with it. With some pressure I was able to find the black paint again but they still are going to require soapy water and elbow grease to get them fresh looking again. Since I deliver The Palace Press door-to-door, I can see mine are not the worst looking ones in the building! This coming week a cherry-picker type crane is coming to apply what I call "the ruffle" around the edges of the roof which will delight the boys, I hope, as well as end the mess of the roof repairs. So, the end is near!!!!

Why did I leave so much until the last moment? Why indeed! I'd meant to finish up a few things Friday evening but then, it happened----the phone rang! I was enticed away from my duties to dine with the Hilchey's and other ladies and girls at Biscotti's. What can say? No??? Are you kidding me? Life is too short to miss a dining opportunity with such wonderful folks!

Sharon, my pool friend and skin advisor, and I met for lunch at the Blu Grotto. She got out of her appointment ahead of time so I dashed up there to meet her on the patio. She didn't mind eating outside, there was a breeze and the fans were going. Her other friend, the one who was driving the car when they rolled over, was out and about so she joined us later, and helped me with my pizza. I still had three slices to bring home! Sharon loved her mojito, perfect for a hot summer day! It certainly looked refreshing. I only had a rum and diet since I was going grocery shopping after lunch and needed to have my wits about me.

At Publix, I ordered the sub sandwiches for Sunday's pool party as well as a fruit tray for those who like fruit, plus tried to remember the other things needed for proper hostessing. Justin called me while I was shopping and reported he was leaving the pool party to come help me unload the groceries. I wasn't quite ready but didn't want to miss my helper! He assured me if I forgot anything or need an item, he'd stop and get it on his way over to my house anytime he's coming. He's fairly certain we ladies will be going shopping at least once while they are here!

He carried up all the junque from my car, even my church and Bible study stuff, so I can have the car properly vacuumed and tidied up. Some of the things in my car are so odd, including shingle samples, easels, and discarded electrical fixtures. It was time they were removed from the vehicle!

Thursday night I spent time on the sundeck with my neighbors before coming up to do anything but clean off my desk and table. Anyone have a match????
