December 12 Day 279: On Being a Good Host

When was the last time you slept in your guest bed? I must admit, it was an eye opening experience. The fold down couch in the office was not particularly comfortable. The dinosaur sheets (left from when the boys were young) were rough. My feet hung out over the edge.

Our last visitor to use this space was my brother Dan. At 6’ 4”, he must have had had a lot more than feet over hanging.

Once we are past the global pandemic and can visit friends, I promise to provide softer sheets and a mattress topper to make your stay more pleasant.
