Ken, Reid and I spent Saturday moving things around to allow him to have his office in the basement (again) and to allow us to create a guest room on the second floor, closer to the bathroom. The move grew out of a plan to install a toilet in the furnace room so that Grandma Joyce could sleep in the basement when she visits. Ken thought 4 toilets in a house with 3 humans - the 2 cats don’t use the toilet - was over the top. He didn’t want to discourage his mother-in-law from coming, though, and so proposed the office switch. (He is a special guy, my husband.) There will be a double bed in the guest room / sewing-scrapbooking room waiting for those people who find the futon unwelcoming or who didn’t want to try the fabulous double-bed-sized air mattress. In fact, we’re getting to the point of being able to host micro conventions once the 2 couches are factored into the mix.

Ottawa is hosting the [1] World Junior Hockey Championship this year, I’ve had a couple of expressions of interest already. Before that, we’ll have [2] Winterlude (if winter comes back), March break, [3] Canada Day, [4] Orchestras in the Park, [5] Fall Rhapsody and so much more. Book early and avoid disappointment.  ;+)
