Both Monday and Tuesday we had friends drop by to visit from Montreal - vanilla friends. The house was 'vanilla-ized'....that was the easy part. The hardest part were the little things......... like my calling W by his name instead of Sir - I always call him Sir.... and saying W just doesn't flow off my tongue easily - not after all these years.
But I think we pulled it off. Monday was a short visit - just time to have some lunch, see the house and the gardens - especially the freshly painted fence! (trust me I was gonna make sure all our visitors saw the fence!!) and then they were off on the road again..........
Tuesday was a longer visit and a little more difficult for me. These were W's friends, Not folks I know all that well.... and I have always seen them as "bible thumpers". I put on my best behaviour - my party manners - my 'Sunday go to meeting' behaviours. Turns out they weren't as prime and proper as I had first thought, Hell when W asked what they did on Monday (they are vacationing here for a few days) she said "well we had sex - we went on the dinner cruise - we had more sex" and I picked my jaw up off the ground............and relaxed.
The only "fall out" if you can call it that - from these two visits - is that W is missing Montreal more than ever. And that makes me sad. But we've been round and round on that one before - so I will just leave it there................

Downunder Don got the riddle. It is indeed a column for a vaulted ceiling in one of my Churches from Saturday - Personally I loved the sweeping strokes of colour against the egg shell.............
And Sharon - one day I will post a picture of our carpet beater - so you can compare the difference - it was a good guess though.............
And now for day 43 of 365
