In Dear Farmer's world, when it comes to hospitality, you should be the first offering before it's asked.
So, before a neighbor asks you to watch his farm while he takes a day off, country hospitality dictates that you should anticipate the need and offer to watch the farm so he can take a day off. Simple enough and incredibly difficult! Wouldn't you know, Dear Farmer is a professional at this one!
The family just spent the weekend at Fabulous Aunt and Uncle's home. They were descended upon by oodles of family from the north, south, east, and west. It was wonderful, it was fun, it was a weekend of country hospitality.
While there, the Amazing FarmWife!(Grandma) exhibited this bit of hospitality when she called in the troops to set up for the retirement home's Christmas party, because she saw that the manager was dealing with another(more important) issue. She organized and rallied all the Grandmas and Grandpas to take charge of the situation (unbeknownst to the manager). Tables and chairs were moved, tableclothes on, place settings set and centerpieces placed. She saw a need, and she jumped into action...Country Hospitality at it's finest even in a retirement home.
Fabulous Aunt and Uncle opened the doors of the house, sent out invitation texts and cancelled plans, all to host an impromptu small family gathering of 30 people...Country Hospitality at it's best on the spur of the moment.
Folks!This is what life is supposed to be full of, and the Wife is loving it!
