Visitors

After spending two weeks quarantining on the farm, Grandma and Grandpa came up for an early Thanksgiving.  They were the first visitors we've had since this whole pandemic began.  Over that time, I'm sure we forgot how to be good hosts.  This was probably most notable in the fact that we got rid of our guest room and made it an office.  They are so nice they didn't even complain about how hard the desk and computer chair were to sleep on.  It also occurred to me that another member of our home, Lucy, had literally never had guests in her life.  She was born in March and thus has social distanced since birth.  That said, she clearly doesn't know how to act around visitors.  When they got here, she was shaking, jumping, and crying like the people they used to have winning the big checks in Publisher's Clearinghouse commercials.  To her credit, she settled down and was a sweet puppy the rest of the time.  All in all it was a great, albeit too short, visit.  I wish they would have stayed longer, but apparently they want to see "other family members" as well on Thanksgiving....I still think it might have something to do with needing to use reams of printer paper as pillows in our home office guest room.
