Do you like to have people drop in? What do you do when they ring the doorbell?
I mean, what do you do AFTER you peek out a side window to see who is there and decide what to do.
If it is a friend, who hasn't telephoned first, I generally don't open the door. Is that bad?
I figure they are dropping off a newsletter or something, and I will think about it and get back to them. Of course, if they ring again -- indicating that it is urgent or an emergency - I do open the door.
But if it is one of the friends that I LOVE, a friend who is like family -- then, of course I open the door. I am delighted to see them and I invite them in, and continue doing whatever I am doing. (Yesterday, it was while I was on the afternoon MHH chat.) I brought the friend in, gave her a glass of wine and a big tumbler of ice water, we sat down, I continued reading the chat -- and we talked happily until my husband came home from golf. (Needing Advil and food.)
The friend asked about MHH - but is not a year-round Christmas lover - so she wasn't interested in joining. We are a unique and special group. :globe:
