It does seem like BFF has some realization that she is overstaying since she approached DH and not you. Hopefully she responds well in the situations when you have to set boundaries, but it must be tough for you to have to broach the subject calmly. Certainly staying that long past the closing is really pushing the envelope.
We painted the bathroom a cream color with 2 walls a hydrangea blue. They are the colors I had in my other Florida home in the living room. They brighten it up from the dark gray it used to be (kind of a metal gray). I'm not sure that bathtub refinishing is great if you take lots of baths. I would think it would wear off over time. But we never take baths so it is really just to make it look better in the room. We usually just use it to hang things to dry.

We got the rain, but it didn't last long. It's was a nice break and the trees need it! We ended up moving the dinner party to my house in the a/c. Whew! My ribs were dry darn it. I think I need a new smoker...
Lol!

There was a bar on the grounds and several restaurants close by that DH and I said we would seek shelter in if needed! Though not sure the businesses close by would have the room for everyone!

You are handling things much better than I would. I also don't doubt that she purposely asked the question to DH knowing he is a softy! I agree about the closing date and moving out date. Who would think they would still not be completely moved into the new place!

Back from the movie My Mother's Wedding. It was pretty bad and I do not recommend. Too bad, it had some star power so I was expecting better. Another person our age looked at me during the credits and said That was no good. I agreed, and ended with, well at least I enjoyed some popcorn. She replied, at least I enjoyed a nap. LOL.
Oh, what an unfortunate event for all the exhibitors. I'm glad to hear you suffered minimal damage.
The thing with BFF is she is very loyal, very loving, caring, lots of fun, but she cannot stay in her lane. I've learned over time to keep boundaries, but I cannot always anticipate the crash through until it has happened. For example, that I have to discuss next weekend? It never occurred to me that anybody would want to stay 11 days AFTER closing on their own house. So I'll take care of it, but geeze. DH is now instructed that any questions, plans, favors will be answered with: I will check with my DW. It's no accident that some of the boundary stuff was directed at DH rather than me. Sometimes he's a soft touch.
