I suppose I can hardly call her "company" since she's my Sister ... and that makes her Family any ol' day of the week! But by the time you see this, United Airlines should have delivered her to my doorstep (I wish!) and we'll be getting into who-knows-what. I'm so glad! Renaissance Man's garden is "glad" too ... even though he's out of town. Sister's gonna LOVE his "glads!" Don't you? In anticipation of her visit, I set a quick table for two ...
