doing the grocery shopping) for the ex<\/FONT><\/SPAN>pected crowd of visitors tomor-<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>

row. <\/SPAN> Spring cleaning has meant clearing<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/FONT> out a few weblog cobwebs <\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
and stuffing <\/SPAN>some items into <\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/FONT>closets and under rugs<\/SPAN>. (even re-did the <\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
