My hubby’s sibling never shows up for any of our parties or celebrations. We invite he & his wifey to our annual Christmas celebration, every year, & yet they never show up. I was surprised when he called & said that he was going to be there last year. He called the afternoon of the part & he asked if it was too late to accept our invitation. My hubby looked appreciate he was in shock when he came upstairs & told myself and others that they were going to be there. The first thing I thought was that there had to be something wrong. My hubby began to laugh & said there didn’t need to be something wrong for his family to show up & he walked away. They were the first people to arrive & I was enthusiastic to see my sibling-in-law. She thanked myself and others for letting them come up there at such late notice. I told her they were regularly welcome with or without an invite. She told myself and others that their oil furnace had gone out that afternoon & it was easily cold in their house. They had called the Heating & Air Conditioning business but they couldn’t get to their house until Thursday. She said they knew all of us regularly had fantastic heat in the house because of our fireplace. Instead of going to a hotel, they decided to visit us. It’s a shame that their oil furnace had to break down for them to come to our house. I think it doesn’t matter though because even if he did only come for the heating, my hubby was enjoying the time with his sibling.
