Covid-19

As I have gotten mixed messages as to if my B&B is an essential business or not, I believe it my personal call to decide if I find it safe for my guests, my family and myself to remain open during the Corvid-19 war. Of course, it is impossible for me to stay afloat without any guests, as I have an absorbant overhead to maintain this inn, the place I have come to love and call my home for the last 5 years. My decision to close for the month of April was well thought out and I considered many factors. The bottom line came to the health and safety of all.

My favorite Veteran

My Dad talked a lot about the war, always guarded not to say too much in front of my younger brother and me. You could see in his eyes, even as a little girl who knew nothing about what he had experienced or for that matter about war, there was pain behind those green eyes. He was a very proud man, proud of his family, his heritage and his country. He served in WWII, in the 82nd Airborne. He was a paratrooper who jumped into combat. They were very brave front line Army soldiers who fought for our country.

Loss

It is more than difficult to let go of the apron ties. For whatever reasons you need to do so. For your children grow up and try and find their way....sometimes. They look to you for guidance and support. And then sometimes you work together, thinking all along how wonderful it will be. And it is, truly. But there comes a time when it no longer works, or they don't. Call me crazy but didn't we work a lot harder for way less money? No doubt, we did.

Life isn't easy

Just when you think things start to settle down and run smoothly, bamm! And there you are back in the weeds again. This year is a big year for me...turning 60! Yes, 60 years old, never thought I would be here. I started to once again to re-evaluate my life. Hmmm, 60, where should I be and what the hell am I doing?? The last year has brought me a wealth of knowledge and helped me to truly realize what is most important. It is just a few short years until retirement and being married (#2) for only a short time, I want to be with my husband.

2016 Mud Sales

Mud sales actually have nothing to do with selling mud but rather the condition of the ground where the sales have historically been held in the early spring when the fields are just beginning to thaw. You will find quilts, crafts, new and used furniture, farm-related supplies, new and used buggies, livestock, building materials, garden items, antiques and more.
