The Vicarage is emptying out this week.

Joe, Kristine and Sevy are on their way to visit Joe’s Mom and her husband and parents in South Carolina for the week. They will be enjoying a week of southern hospitality and warm beaches.

Amanda is on vacation this week and is taking some time at a local priory to center her heart for the season ahead.

That leaves me and Mom, the cat and two dogs to get the house ready for next week when we will be full to the brim plus one. Amanda returns on Friday. Joe and his family return on Sunday and Brenda arrives on Monday.

So tonight Melanie and the girls are coming to help me get Brenda’s room ready for habitation .

We will be a bunch of cleaning fools.

HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A FULL HOUSE?
