Inviting Guests

Among this series of semi-annual initiatives is opening my home for visitors.  Family comes for Thanksgiving but for the most part our home remains an area of exclusivity to us.  In order to have guests, the lower level of the house and the bathrooms need to have upgrades in their visual attractiveness from removal of physical obstacles to cleanliness and repair.  While the living room, lower hall, dining room, and kitchen remain incomplete, they exceed threshold.  Bathrooms clean easily and on short notice, though the powder room which guests might use could use some real scrubbing.  Our upper landing remains free of any objects.  

So next step seems to be asking people to come.  Shabbos makes a good excuse, sukkah even better.  Ready to give it a go.
