company is coming

The past couple of weeks we have been very busy doing different projects around the house. Some projects started because company is coming into town...and others started because we have more time because it is quarter break. No matter what the reason the project started, it has to come to an end quickly because company is coming.

I am starting to realize how quickly our house will fill up with company. Karen and Greg arrive Tuesday night for a day visit and the Weiss and Madden clans arrive sometime on Wednesday. That is right both of our parents and Morgan (Leland's sister) are coming for Thanksgiving. Most people think we are crazy but we love them all. So we said yes. The hardest thing has been deciding what pies to make because everyone has their favorite.

I still need to pick up the house, buy the groceries, and figure out how we are going to store all the food. I never realized how much I have depended on the outside "frig" to store food. Last year we put the pies on the back porch of the apartment because we did not have enough frig space. My family has always used the enclosed front porch and Leland's family has always used the garage. How do people do it in a warm climate? I am thinking creativity is needed.

We are hoping everyone has a good time, there is not a lot to do in Ruston.

Well, one of each of course. You can never have too much pie. :)

Not that much to do in Ruston?? That's what everyone told me about Pullman, Hogwash!!
Good luck on the storage problem. I had never seen the cold in the NW this time of year as a positive, thanks for making me feel better. :)
