Another change of plans

I received a frantic phone call from my Thanksgiving Dinner hostess. Could I please come over and help do the umpty-bazillion prep details with her? Pleeeeease? She said she’d make sure my wine glass was full at all times if I did. Well hey. That’s an offer that’s hard to refuse. I’ll take off in a few minutes.

Shortly after that conversation, the lad called to say he was at his Dad’s house and will be arriving on my doorstep on Saturday morning. Very early on Saturday morning. And he will leave here sometime Sunday morning. The Dad is feeling rather relaxed or something. I tend to think there is a Christmas string attached to this generous offer that I haven’t heard about yet, but whatever. There’s plenty of Christmas break so I just don’t care one way or the other as long as the lad is here for half of it. I can’t wait to grab that kid and hug him half to death.

Anyway. That means I’ll be tearing around here cleaning and washing sheets on Friday and I now think the applesauce canning project may have to wait until Monday morning. Oh, and the laptop is due to arrive on Friday afternoon, too. I dunno...maybe it should wait until Monday now. Things are going to be hopping around here for the next couple of days. What fun!
