Our house is always suitable for company, but I have to run to the
bedroom to put a bra on. :-/ We used to have visitors who spent the
weekend with us, but, right now, we do not have a 2nd bedroom that is
prepared for overnight visitors. My youngest son flew in from PA, and he
stayed here for 9 days, during the wedding festivities, but he is family.
