Hotel Bartley

WHEW! After the last week, I think I have realized that opening a bed and breakfast (which is something I thought I might want to do when we are older) is NOT something I want to do now. I've always enjoyed having friends and family come to visit and stay in our home and in one week's time, we had three different groups of family and friends stay with us. We loved visiting with each one of them but I have never washed and changed so many sheets and towels in one week before, not to mention cleaning tubs and toilets and vacuuming. I am so glad we have a home that we can accommodate people and I do love having everyone stay with us - anytime - I just don't think it's something I care to do for strangers.

Wayne's mom and aunt came in last weekend to visit and stay with Kelsie while Wayne and I had to be at the church for our Night of Praise recording with the choir. Thank goodness that project is almost complete - it's been a lot of planning and work but think it will be a good night and a good CD. It was great for Kelsie because she got to be with MaMaw and Aunt Joy instead of childcare and it makes me feel better about participating wholeheartedly. Then, on Tuesday my mom and Nana were here b/c Nana had hand surgery on Wednesday morning and they stayed with us (it was outpatient). The surgery went well and it was good that mom and I could tag team getting up in the night to administer pain meds (felt like a hospital nurse - it was fun). Nana is doing well and coming back this week for a check up. Then on Friday, friends from Corpus were here for the races at TMS. We had a great time with them - staying up too late and playing poker - the girls loved being together and the boys went to the races while we finished up our Easter shopping. Well, we are ready for Easter!!! Better go now though - gotta clean house and get ready for mom and Nana to come on Wednesday. More soon - with Easter pictures.
