[quote=Anonymous]I posted already and I agree with so much, but I am the read her cue person and also give her some control. I learned this with my family. Ask if she wants to give you a tour, ask if she wants to eat somewhere else or at the dining hall. Give choices. If she looks tired see if she wants some rest or wants 10 more minutes. They want to be good hosts and they also thrive on rest and routine. Keep giving choices and reading non-verbal cues. I completely agree with the person who said be cheerful. Also, don't take anything personally. If she is annoyed by you or seems bored, see if as a cue she needs a break, not an insult.[/quote]
