Today I realized the importance of being prepared to host a guest at any minute. We had someone stop by who is in town for the night with no plan on where they will stay. Phil offered one of our extra rooms. I’m glad we have the space and happy to help someone out when they need it. It also made me relieved to know that one of our guest rooms was presentable and with a little arranging, ready for company. It got me thinking that it would be nice to always have little things on hand to make our home in situations like this not just somewhere to “crash” but a pleasant experience for a guest last minute or not.
Some ideas I had are:
*Clean towels and washcloth of course
*Soaps, lotions, shampoos for their use
*An alarm clock with the correct time!
*Extra pillows and blankets
I like to have what my family calls “pillow treats” for company that I’ve been able to plan for but in cases like this I guess I have to do without. And wouldn’t fresh flowers and fruit be nice to leave out, but how often do I have that? Oh well.
Anyone have any other ideas? I’d love to hear them!
I like to have bottled water in the guest room in case they wake up thirsty in the middle of the night. Also, it’s a good idea to have a new toothbrush available.
Ooo, very good ideas! Thank you auntie!
