One more thing to think about

I mentioned in my last blog that one of my nephews and his family may be coming to visit me for a few days later this month.  I am excited about this and very pleased that they are coming, but I realized, as I looked around my livingroom today that it has been a long, long time since I have entertained a two-year-old.  I need to do a little (or a lot of) child-proofing.  I've already hung the least precious, most sturdy ornaments toward the bottom of the tree but now I need to think about the stuff on my shelves.  I can only move so many things up to the highest shelves.  But as I sit here I am looking at the big bin, now empty, in which I store my Christmas tree ornaments.  It occurs to me that I could hide a lot of fragile pieces in their.  Problem solved.  Now all I need to do is figure out what these kids will eat for breakfast.  I think they will probably want more than my usual hard boiled egg.  I might actually have to, gasp, cook something.
