Is it a VRBO type situation? I have never tipped in that scenario (but then, I forget to tip housekeeping in hotels half the time, anyway), because usually there's a cleaning fee built into the cost.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Punishingly Intricate
Real estate company owned property but basically same as vrbo. I'm inclined not to tip but was seized with indecision!

I'd tip a dollar for every night multiplied by the number of people who stayed in the place.
Back when I used to regularly stay in hotels for work (insert nostalgic sigh) I'd try to tip every day, to make sure that I hit the actual person who actually cleaned up that day.

Timelies all!
Another quiet weekend here.

About 45 minutes before I sign my new lease. (You've got to understand - it's been 17 years since I last moved.) I'm drinking tea and have the Dubai World Cup on tv. The announcers are British. They just pronounced Mario Gutierrez's name in such a bizarre way that I could never copy it. They didn't even pronounce "Mario" in a normal way. They had better luck with Jose Valdivia. (They just said Mario's name again - much, much better.)

Are you moving on the first? I'm glad you found a place to have a new lease on!
It's all grey here today, supposed tone thunderstorms tomorrow. Excellent reason to put off mowing my lawn just a little longer.

I'm moving as soon as I sign my lease!
I really want to be out of here by Sunday night. We'll see if that can be managed.

Good luck on the signing and the move, sumi!
I don't want to do anything today. I wish it were raining. For the first time ever, I made myself coffee at home.
So here's a lovely story: A young woman who was one of my niece's best childhood friends went to MIT on full scholarship, and met a young man from Detroit, and fell in love. I have known her since she was about 8 years old, and last weekend she eloped and got married on a beach in Oregon.
That might be the most gorgeous set of wedding photos I have EVER seen. If their marriage is anything as lovely, they will have wonderful lives.

Those are lovely photos, Consuela. I love the contrast of the foofy dress and the woods.

Because books.
I especially love the distance shot with her feet off the ground. Really gorgeous pictures.
