Happy Labor Day weekend

Posted Friday, September 4th, 2009

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!!

This coming weekend looks bleak

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!!!!

Back to school time will be here before we know it and as usual, we are running our ‘back to school’ special which is that if they bring a book bag full of the supplies a child would need, they get one night half price.  We have to look out for the children with all of the cutbacks in the school system.

It has become a tradition here that we collect school supplies and even people from the community will stop by to donate a few items here and there.  They ask nothing in return either.  It’s all done just out of the goodness of their hearts.  This is a great community and I just love it here.

The whole place is reserved for this Wednesday through Sunday.  We’re having a wedding.  I love weddings and this one if going to be absolutely beautiful, just as all weddings are.  They have left the reception to us so my fabulous cook will be making the wedding cake and everything else for the reception.

The florists are coming to see what flowers will work the best with the atmosphere and where they are putting all of them.    The wedding is Thursday and guests will be coming in on Wednesday.  Unfortunately we have limited space so some have made reservations at local motels but the wedding party is all staying here.

The wedding suite will be so beautifully decorated for this wonderful occasion too.  I can’t wait to get started on it all so I better get my rear in gear.  There are rooms to decorate and menu’s to prepare.

Where did July go?

Posted Thursday, July 30th, 2009

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!
