Parental Guests

[deguspice]

My parents are flying back from England this evening. They land at Logan at 8:30pm (which is 1:30am in England).  So instead of driving three hours north to their home in Vermont, they're staying overnight at my house.  Until mid-May, they had a house close to Boston, so this is the first time they've had a reason to stay as guests at my house.  I'm about to go the local supermarket to get basic supplies for the house (and tomorrow's Arisia party at Gaylaxicon).  [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] is going to a natural supermarket to get breakfast food for my parents.  And then we'll have a frantic session to clean the house and make it a bit more presentable for my parents.

i'm getting kind of laid back about my dad visiting, since he swings by for stuff on occasion, but when my stepmother visits my place, i always clean like a madwoman and then explain that i hadn't had a chance to clean, so sorry.

You have my sympathy! My parents are coming to visit us for a few days at the end of this month and I'm *sooo* wound up about it.

What natural supermarket do you speak of? I'm looking for a store with organic produce, recycled paper products, cruelty-free meats, and whole grain everything.

There's a Wild Oats (http://www.wildoats.com/u/store104/) in Andover on Railroad St., just off Rt. 28, about a mile south of Rt. 133.

The smaller local health food market that used to be in Andover, faded away once Wild Oats moved into town (actually, then it was "Wild Harvest", owned by Star Market).
