Most of the time I only want a hot dog when I’m at a ball game. but for some reason I have been craving a hot dog today. I want a big one, like the Oscar Mayer bun length all beef franks. I want the bun to be fresh and soft and steamed with the dog in it. Then I’ll put a stripe of ketchup and a few dabs of yellow mustard on top, and enjoy a serving of pork and beans on the side. Now, that’s a great lunch for a summer weekend!
Hot coffee is the best way to start a morning. Humans do well with a set morning routine. Mine includes making a small pot of coffee with my fresh ground, custom blend of coffee beans. I sip on it while reading my email, Facebook and newspaper links. Then, as I’m waking up, I can deal with putting on makeup, choosing the day’s clothes, and fixing my hair. An hour later, I’m ready to tackle the world!
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.
I love the 4th of July!! We really go all out to decorate, well we do that for every holiday but there’s just something about Independence Day that I love!! We always have a huge community picnic type party with grilled hot dogs and hamburgers with all the fixin’s and of course potato salad, baked beans and we can’t forget the banana pudding and homemade ice cream.
Then there’s the fireworks display. I love all of the laughter, ooohhh’s and aaahhh’s from the children when the fireworks start. It’s just a wonderful time for all!!! I hope each and everyone of you have a wonderful 4th of July and remember what the celebration is all about, our independence!!!
We were absolutely booked solid for Valentines Day. With the excitement of moving Celeste and Little Joe into their new apartment, I forgot to tell you about how we celebrated Valentines Day here at my Bed and Breakfast. We had special packages for our customers where they could get a dozen roses, rose peddles on the bed, champagne, strawberries dipped in chocolate and a special dinner served in their rooms. It’s always a big hit and this year wasn’t much different.
In face, we’re usually booked solid for Valentines Day by Christmas. Most of the people that made their reservations were ones that have been here for Valentines Day before. Love is definitely in the air here and it’s a wonderful time for all. This year we added a couple of things that we didn’t have before to help bring in more customers in a tough economy. We threw in the whole weekend instead of just Valentines Day. So for what they usually paid for just the one night, they got the complete weekend. It worked I am so glad to say. I just hope all of you had a Valentines as full of love as my home was.
