One of My favorite things

As a junior partner in the Bed and Breakfast business here, one of my favorite things to do is to come downstairs and read the big red book at the Guest Entrance door.  I get a kick out of what is written about our business and it is immensly gratifying to read. 

I get a real kick out of our guests from different parts of the country who have written about their stay or some other comment.  Once someone wrote "go Steelers" or maybe it was "Go Pens" and another guest had written under it: "and take the Pirates with you!"  I howled at that one.

I had told a joke to one of our every year visitors last year and the punch line had something to do with "Ed Zachiary."  The Guest this year signed the book "Ed Zachiary"  That one was an inside joke that I have laughed at ever since. We have drawn pictures, and smiley faces, and all kinds of doodles in the book, which by the way I honestly would take a million dollars for but I don't think you could get it for much less than that. 
Each name, comment and drawing brings a smile to my face (and Wendy's too) so if you stay here and see the book laying there, take a second too glance through it.  It probably won't mean as much to you, but it is a tremendous compliment to us and a compliment to the quality of people who we have gotten to know over the years.
And as a side note, please note the map upstairs.  We encourage everyone to put thier pin in the map.  It doesn't have to be exact as some places are incredibly crowded but come as close as you can.  IF you look up to the top of the map you will see several flags.  These flags indicate different nationalities of those people staying here,  There are about 10 countries now shown there and they do not indicate persons who are from different countries but who call the US home now. 

One of my favorite was the couple from Sweden who had landed in the US on the same day that they arrived here.  They were great and I hope that someday they get back here. 
Once we had a group who was the Security Staff for our General, General Foglesong who at that time was the Commanding Officer for all Air Force operations in Europe.  He is from here and we are very proud of him and his achievements.  One of his Security Officers was from Australia and Wendy made the comment, "Oh you aren't american, you could never understand" when she was telling a story about something.  His reaction was absolutely hilarious and Wendy tried to make it right and only made things worse.  We laughed over that one during his entire stay.
Anyway, If you come here, read the little red book downstairs and you will get an Idea about what I am talking about.  It is just another reason that I love the B & B business.


And if you are reading this from Detroit Mi, I just watched the best video called "The day the Robot Came."  I have watched it 4 times already and I love it.


Come and See us
