Well it looks like it’s going to be a great Labor Day weekend for us. Every room is booked and in fact, I had more calls for reservations than I had rooms. Luckily some of them took dates for next weekend and some went ahead and booked for Halloween weekend and even Thanksgiving.
I hope that each and every one of you has a safe and happy Labor Day. Unfortunately it’s also the sign of Autumn beginning but that’s okay. All things must change!!
Running a business like a Bed and Breakfast is pure pleasure for me but as the times have been tighter lately, then I have really started using discount coupons. I have always been a penny pincher but now I find myself pinching even more.
With a business like mind, there’s always something I’m wanting to buy for the different rooms like grandfather clocks for the old fashioned rooms and the entrance hall. Would you believe that I even found Grandfather clock discount coupons? Well I did and also found some great savings with them. Now I can buy more than I thought I would be able to.
Well it looks like we’ll have the whole house to ourselves this weekend unless we get someone that just happens to drop by to see if we have an opening. That does happen quite often so there’s still hope for the weekend.
Honestly, it would be sort of nice to have a weekend off because that means we can get some time off to do what ever we have thought about doing or just enjoy a relaxing weekend. We shall see!!!!
Most all of my advertisement for my Bed and Breakfast has come from word of mouth. One of the college students that worked for me through the summer and part time after they go back to college has offered to build me a web site about my place. I told them to shoot out some ideas at me and I would let them know.
The more I think of it, the better I like the idea. It could bring in more business and is a good way of getting my place better known in the whole cyber-space instead of just in this area and by word of mouth. I can’t wait to see what he comes up with.
Tomorrow is the last day of July and I don’t know where the time has gone! It’s been a nice cool summer so far and business is down a little but it sure could be worse, ya know, with everything in the mess it’s in. I’m just counting my blessings that business hasn’t been down anymore than it has been.
Oh, about my garden, well everything started coming up and the darn critters found it. You guessed it, the pickings are slim in our garden this year. We don’t usually have much trouble with the critters because we put out all kinds of stuff that’s supposed the keep them away from the garden. I bet that boy that was supposed to do that forgot it. I’ll have to ask him and see. I wonder if he’ll be honest? He better be!
