Mother's Day

linda and I host two major family events at our house: Mother's Day and Christmas Eve. We love to entertain, especially family. Earlier this year, Linda's maternal grandmother passed away, thus beginning the "year of firsts" for Linda's mother and her 8 siblings. Suddenly, Mother's Day at our house became a little bigger than usual. I think we've got 30 people coming.

No problemo.

Except we have people who have never seen the house before! So upstairs and downstairs must be well cleaned out. Of course, Linda and I also have a bunch of construction tasks we want to get done in the summer. Do we put those tasks off until after Mother's Day? nonono. We work best against a deadline.

More to follow.
