My brother and his family are driving up from San Diego. We haven't seen them in a couple years! I need to get groceries and finish tidying up the house. It is amazing what I am willing to live with, and yet when company's comin' I see my digs in a whole new light! Why do I keep those empty boxes piled up creating a hazardous path to the bathroom? Why am I willing to step over the piece of trim that has fallen away from under the door but cringe to think my visitors will see it? I won't even mention the layer of comforting dust that suddenly appears to be at an unacceptable level. I'm sure everyone is like this to some extent. I suppose one can either develop higher personal standards, or squash the urge to spruce up for company. Maybe the answer is to have guests over more than once every few years!
