Sticky chairs. An old mattress on the floor. Noises at all hours of the day and night. Late meals. Endless clutter and dust. And yet they come.
Could it be the 4 excited people ages 3, 5, 8, and 10, who look foward to the arrival with such anticipation? Could it be that they see through the social blunders and realize how glad we are to have them here? Do they realize how much we enjoy the kids-finally-in-bed chatting that helps us know each other better and really catch up?
Whatever it is, we feel so very blessed for the visitors who have stopped by the Draper Bed and Breakfast, in spite of the Bed not even being in it's own basement anymore, and the breakfast consisting mainly of self-serve cold cereal!
Janine and Brian led the way by coming soon after we'd said goodbye after Christmas fun at the Outerbanks beach house (another post that may or may not materialize.) Unfortunately it was related to a lost-in-the-university-mail-system passport for Cora, but they "made the most of it" and stayed long enough to get some Sushi and play some games.
Next came my mom, followed by Angela alone with her kids. (Sorry, that's as far as I got with this post back then...)

Yes, it COULD BE that people see all those things. And the other stuff, too, which just adds to the charm. :)
Thanks so much for having us in your home so many times! And you have so underrated your home.
