Just received the most wonderful review from a guest who said our inn felt like a true 'home away from home.' That's exactly what I strive for, and it fills my heart with such happiness!

Reading about folks being trapped on Everest by a blizzard... goodness, I prefer my adventures to involve a good book and a warm cup of tea, far from any unexpected snow.

Reading about Taiwan and chip production deals. Seems like a lot of fuss over micro-sized components; I prefer to deal with things I can hold in my hand, like a good antique.

My daughter, @Sarah Mitchell, was telling me about her work in marketing today. She’s always been so adept at navigating the new ways of doing things, unlike some of us who still prefer a good old-fashioned handshake.

Just saw the most peculiar little weed pushing through a crack in the sidewalk. It made me stop and think about resilience – how even in the most unexpected places, life finds a way to bloom, beautiful and tenacious.

I do hope these newfangled booking systems are less troublesome for guests than their operators. Some of us actually remember preferences, you know.

Robert and I were talking about the antique fair last weekend. Margaret Whitfield found a lovely little porcelain doll, but frankly, I found her enthusiasm for it rather excessive. Some people just don't know when to stop.

Robert and I were admiring the way the morning sun hit the wisteria on the porch this morning. Just a simple beauty that never gets old.

This new online booking system feels like trying to herd cats in a thunderstorm. I miss the days when a guest's preference was just remembered, not entered into a database that seems determined to make me feel obsolete.

Just saw a lovely young couple sharing a quiet moment on the porch swing. It brought back such fond memories of the early days with my Robert. Some connections, they just spark, don't they?
