The grandkids came out around noon yesterday and spent the night. Didn’t get my cleaning done like I had planned but had way more fun! I hadn’t seen them for a bit so it was nice to have them come for the night. They got in Kathy’s hot tub with her and spent an hour or so in it. We didn’t do anything special, just hung around.
After they both fell asleep in my bed I went into the new guest queen bed to sleep. Wasn’t long before Ellexia joined me. The bed is very comfortable. I trust my guests will like it. It is taller than I anticipated it would be though.
Tagen helped me set up the twin bed in a guest room to replace the one that had broken. He is getting big enough to be a good helper. Ellexia helped me make beds. She likes to be my helper. She surprised me this morning and made my bed for me.
Took the grandkids to town this morning around noon. I mowed for a bit this morning while Kathy was still here. Rushed home from dropping the kiddos off and finished the mowing and cleaning. Ellexia had helped me clean a little bit this morning. I didn’t get the house as detailed clean as I would have like to but it is clean enough.
Came in from my second mowing and took a shower and cleaned up. It is hot out there today. I am surprised how dry it really is. When I cut the grass I uncovered lots of brown spots. If we don’t get a good couple inches of rain soon my yard is going to dry up and it will all turn brown.
Started my second load of dishes. Always forget when I cook for the grandkids I dirty lots more dishes! Have extra laundry to do from the extra towels they used too. Small price to pay for having them come visit.
One set of guests are arriving around 4:00, another around 7:00 and I haven’t heard from the third set. Check-in time is 2:00 and I like to be ready in case they come early. I barely made my 2:00 time today. Once I get done writing I will do some little detail cleaning jobs I skimmed over this morning. May not get to all of them though if someone shows up.
Debating about setting up a second Airbnb site. I can’t double-book the two rooms using the Airbnb site I have now. The only way I can do so is to set up one room on one site and the other room on another site. Sometimes guests want both rooms but usually they only want one. Seems like if I have to clean the house for one room I might as well have both rooms full.
Am going to try to get to the rodeo parade tomorrow afternoon. Last year my friends from California were here and we went to the parade. It was fun to watch! I’ll have to see if the grandkids want to go with me. They would get lots of candy if they go.
Need to remember to call my trash man and find out why he didn’t pick up my trash this week. He has never missed it before.
Should have more empty space next week. I have guests all week but they will be gone during the day. Have another full house next weekend to get ready for but since I cleaned today I will only have to spot clean. I feel like I haven’t had much empty space since I have been home from Italy. I am ready for several days of nothing on my calendar.
Grateful the house is clean and ready for my guests, grateful the grandkids came to spend the night, and grateful the mowing is done for another week or so.
