The Top Ways to Be a Good Guest

Thursday November 13, 2008
With Thanksgiving only two weeks away, many hosts and hostesses are scrambling to get ready on time. However, many more of us will be guests than hosts on this holiday, with large family gatherings a commonplace occurrence. If you will be on the guest end of the table, have you thought about what you will do to make your host's life easier? If not, you might want to consider these Top Ways to Be a Good Guest. Since I will be following tradition, and going to my parents' home for the holiday, I've started to review them myself.

Hello,

My parent’s recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. It was a wonderful party blessed with the presence of 105 friends and family. I wrote a song for them and performed it with my sister, brother and band friend from High School. It was warmly received. It was suggested to me to pass the word on as others embracing 50 years together may also appreciate it. It is called Stargazing 50 and is available for listening as well as buying it for 99 cents on my page.

It will be followed by an album or cd available this Spring. Stargazing 50 has a Holidays feel …so I decided to make it available early.

Cheers for valuing what it takes to be together for 50 years!
