Jeez, we women are such nagging harpies, aren't we?

Yes, you are. But men are bigger babies, so it kinda evens out.

Besides, women are my favorite gender.

"Oh, honey; that's a lovely shade."

Lamp or color???? Inquiring minds want to know.

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Yesterday was exhausting, successful but exhausting. Surprising, among six guests we only went through a bottle and a half of wine. A bottle of champagne to start, for all you mothers. Then only about a half bottle of pinot noir after that. There were two tons of food and now a ton of leftovers.

That's going to be use the Sunday before Memorial Day. My mother-in-laws brother and his wife are coming back to Kansas. They are all coming down to stay with us for the weekend. That Sunday we are having the whole family over that evening. Going to grill burgers, hot dogs, brats and all the fixings. Going to make a fire in the fire pit and make S'mores, (it's a tradition in their family) and just have a good time. Last time we had 34 people over.

My wife is especially looking forward to it. Last time she had colon cancer surgery that morning and missed the festivities. I walked into a house with 34 family members having a good time. All was good though.

For Gary, there is a law of diminishing returns with guests. After about six - eight, the more guests the less interaction. Less is more for Gary.

@Gary A. There's also the one that goes "House guests and fish start to stink after after a couple days"

@Gary A. There's also the one that goes "House guests and fish start to stink after after a couple days"

"Fish and visitors stink after three days", attributed to our good friend and founding father, Ben Franklin.

Yep, but if you'll note I said "they start to stink after 2 days", we live in the south where it gets warm!!! By 2 days, there's a smell, by the 3rd they stink LOL

So much for that Southern Hospitality.

Sides, the only thing that stinks after 3 days is a Yankee carpet bagger. Good ole southern folk don't stink till after 5 days.

Good ole southern folk don't stink till after 5 days.

Had 21 family members for 5 days over Christmas at our old house one year. 4 bedrooms, plus couches, plus air mattresses everywhere. It was absolute chaos but absolutely the most memorable Christmas in our history. After 5 days, I think every toilet in the house was plugged, and the septic tank overloaded.

Our door mat doesn't say "Welcome" -- it says "Bugger Off."

 

[Gary A.]

You have a door mate ...? That's pretty good. We only have a doorbell and it only buzzes in the backyard.
