Question of the Day:  What do you do to get ready for overnight company?

Maybe it's because I'm spending too much time on websites like MarthaStewart.com or reading too many magazines, but I'm feeling some pressure about what to provide for my guests.

When I have overnight company I clean the guest room, make up the bed with fresh sheets and put out clean towels.  Done.  There are no:

• Fresh flowers
• Current magazines
• Notepaper, envelopes and stamps
• New toiletries
• Snacks in the room
• A carafe of water with drinking glass

My sister and her husband are coming to spend the night.  As I was getting the room together I was thinking it looked pretty good and how lucky I am to have a dedicated guest room.  I suppose I should feel like a slacker, according the things I've been reading, but I don't.  Somehow, I'm pretty sure they'll still feel welcome.

Life with good company is bliss.

Tricky Duck Tip:  Keep no more than two sets of sheets for each bed, four sets if you switch to flannel in the winter.
