I agree with you that hospitality is really about the relationhip and what we communicate, including both the substantantive as well as the emotional content, and not the entertainment value, which can be and often is, superficial. My wife and I love to have company in our home and we are concerned about our cleanliness and neatness but we are more concerned about just having people come and visit than we are their impression of our home and its appeal or its cleanliness. We have a sign above our kitchen table that reads: "Good friends...Good food...Good times!" Our home is always open to our family, friends and even strangers who are just friends we haven't met yet, like you. Abby and Chris, Thanks for your words about hospitality and the way you define it.
