My sister and her family are driving up from Louisiana. They left Friday early afternoon, and had been planning on making it here to my Dad's place at 10 or 11 PM. Well, I last talked to them at 7 PM, and they were still in Virginia.

It's now almost half past one, but they didn't call saying that they were finding a motel for the night. So I assume they are pressing onwards, and will arrive heaven knows when.

Dad went to bed, because he's going to church tomorrow early to resume leading, er, "facilitating" the adult RE class. I'm staying up to greet my sister, lug their stuff inside, and tuck everyone in.

I killed time earlier cleaning house. Nothing like company coming to motivate a good Solstice Eve cleaning! I've got it good enough to satisfy me at this point; the hard floors are mopped, the cobwebs are gone, the porcelin is shining, and the carpets, well, the carpet's past hope of redemption. No vacuuming will restore the carpets to decency.

UPDATE: They arrived just before two AM. We hurriedly unloaded the car, and now we're going to bed.
