Guest Bedroom

Under normal circumstances, the guest bedroom in my house serves as temporary quarters for laundry, sweaters, and other detritus of daily life. The kittens each have a soft pillow to sleep on and the room is in a holding pattern. But it's a lovely room with a window to the backyard, a view of the big old tree, and warm yellow walls with white trim. So when family or friends come to stay, I make the bed with fresh linens and brighten things up. I even set out a good book for nighttime reading (this time it's Mama Makes Up Her Mind by Bailey White).

A few years ago, I had a daydream of running a bed and breakfast. These days, I'm not much good at planning my next week, let alone my future. But I still love to have guests and it's nice to get things organized.

Let's just hope that the kittens are willing to share the guest room with the Sassafras Sister.

You would run a lovely bed and breakfast, and I know a minion who would be most suitable to aid and abet you.

Very nice. The only problem with leaving out really good books is you may never see your guests.
