Most house tours are held right before Christmas. Houses hung with bows, garlands, etc. All gussied up, since you're paying an admission fee to come in and see their stuff. I've been to a few that had those long plastic runners, starting right at the front door. Sort of makes you feel like you're only welcome because you're a paying guest.

But how about this! Boomama, who has recently been oh so curious what all our places look like, has planned a Bloggity Tour of Homes two weeks from today, Friday, July 28. Any good southern girl knows you don't just drop in on people. You call ahead. So she did just that. Let us all know we need to get busy, tidy up a bit here and there. Company's coming!

Run over to this post to get all the details. Some rooms don't need any attention, and since it's the middle of summer and all, you sure don't want to be cleaning anything that doesn't absolutely have to have it. Me - I have a chip or two on the front door that needs a little TLC. See you in two weeks - no plastic runners at our place. Just come on in. You're all welcome. I'm excited about dropping in on all of you too, since I called ahead and all.
