Either one of those ladies could have prevented that situation.<br /><br />Hallie, some people would appreciate the ability to say, "Sorry, I just don't have room for you to stay with me.

Of course I'm certain Mom didn't think so. :-) She still had to cook and clean, and friends would drop by on weekends and she would have to cook for them, too.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814824232124376605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263840964304974785.post-26068877178558312402011-06-27T20:37:28.349-07:002011-06-27T20:37:28.349-07:00I would open my doors to others more readily if I ...I would open my doors to others more readily if I had a decent place for them to sleep.

Yes, traveling in my life has also included visits with friends & family across the country. <br /><br />One funny story of staying with family reminds me of my mother and aunt. I'll call her aunt "L" to protect the guilty or innocent, whichever you choose. The year was 1986.

It was mostly because of lack of time away from work. This week, we are going to Oakland, CA for the wedding of a granddaughter. On the way, we will see Yosemite Park, stay with our son in Antioch, visit a friend near Sacramento, and go to a reception at our daughter's in Fallon, NV. We try to maximize the events on any one trip. We will Chucknoreply@blogger.com
