A new level of busy

Last week at one time or another all of the rooms at the Guest Home had to be cleaned. Several more than once. That's nine rooms varying from singles to a small two bedroom apartment.  The job would have been next to impossible on my own, but I had several people come help. So thanks to Yuka, Reiko, Junko and Yoko my load was a lot lighter.

This week there are people coming to stay for slightly longer periods for the most part, so a little room to breathe. I definitely have a "day off" planned and might even get to go to quilting class if there is one this Wednesday.

Nice to be able to think back on scenes like this one from two weeks ago in the mountains. So calm and serene early in the mornings...and cool.

And last week, being able to have lunch with sweet Julie, away from Ichikawa.

I'll post these photos from Karuizawa on Picasa as usual. Happy viewing.
