I like to have house guests.........most of the time and certain ones more than others...but the houses here really aren't set up for luxurious stays of more than a couple of days. We put our house guests in our basement here in Cincinnati and please don't think that is as bad as it sounds. They have complete privacy and there is a bedroom with TV, a living room with TV,a bathroom, and a mini kitchen.

That is great for them and for us because entertaining a non family member for 12 hour stints is tiring for all. So they can get away from us and we can get away from them and the kitties are not bothering them and we can meet again in the morning refreshed after we both have had our coffee.

It is a different thing here where we are all a little closer than that. It is hard to have someone in your house if you don't sleep well or they don't.

I wish someone would think of how this can be handled without hurting people's feelings.
