Benjamin Franklin

Weekend Guests

“Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.”

Funny, but not very nice! I had heard this quote and was surprised to find out Benjamin Franklin said it. How often did he have house guests I wonder? One of my friends said she was so thankful to have guests or she’d never clean her house. I know what she means. I’ll be vacuuming and dusting today getting ready for a wonderful friend of ours to visit for the weekend. I enjoy hearing about “the outside world,” fixing a company meal however casual, and learning what friends have been doing since we’ve seen them. Franklin was a wise man… but I can’t agree with this sentiment.
