Hubby’s brother, Jeff, is leaving chilly Michigan to visit us here in sunny California. They don’t get to spend a lot of time together, but when they do, they have a good time.

What does every good host do to prepare their house for someone’s visit? Well, in our case…
- finish up building the deck outside
- plant the garden
- fix up the front yard
- dismantle & gather old couches, dining room table & chairs, etc for garbage – bulk pick up
- make the guest room bed shorter by shortening the wooden legs (hubby built the tall bed & doesn’t want his brother to have to climb up!)
- clean out the garage
- wash the guest room windows — and…
- paint the guest room — of course!
Did I mention Jeff will be here in just a few days?
That is a portion of what’s on hubby’s to-do list. My to-do list is not so awful. I just have to plan out the meals, plan their Yosemite trip, and make sure he has clean linen.
You were starting to wonder how this ties in with the “how to fold a fitted sheet” title, yes?
About a year ago, Holly (of Jeremy & Holly, our close friends who left us to move to Washington last year), showed me how to fold a fitted sheet. With my gosh-awful memory, I forgot how to do it the moment she left. So a few weeks ago, I asked her to post a how-to video so I could use as a reference!
They even added their unique and fun Vickery magic to it:
Try it – works like a charm. Here’s mine ~ Ta-Da!
