You can call ahead, text before you head out or…just show up. Oh, hello!

• Happy.
• Elated
• Surprised.
• Excited.
• Yay.
• Thrilled.

All of those are the good reactions.

If there are any other reactions, you don’t know them well enough.

And… you probably should have announced yourself ahead of time – not just showing up.

You have to know they will welcome you with open arms – happy (and all those other emotions) when they see you. In those cases, you can just arrive for dinner, the whole day, or even the weekend…oh, hello – here we are! And it will be a most wonderful thing.
