am an anxious hostess so try to avoid it, but i timed it so people arrived right before we were set to eat. our kitchen was not made for extra people wanting to help cook so this was deliberate on my part. we had plenty of time for visiting during and after dinner. this extra week? well i have to take my car in sometime since the engine light is on. i was going to put on the outside christmas lights while the weather was nice. out of 4 strings to go on the upstairs porch only one works. the other 3 light up only halfway. how can that be?
