Where do I start? We have done so much since my last post in May. It's been too busy to put it all down on paper. I guess I will just list all of the projects we have finished.
In mid June we had an Open House. Had a fun time showing people around the house and visiting, it was a great day. We sure appreciated everyone's support. We had the health inspector down the next week and we passed the physical inspection. The following week we took a water sample in and nervously waited to hear back......and when we did, the news was good! We passed with flying colors. And we got our B&B accreditation! WOW! We have been working for 10 years for this to happen, could not be happier! Unfortunately I was having some health issues so we had to put off our official opening until next year, but the excitement of actually succeeding is amazing.
We did have our first guests a few days ago. The reservation was made earlier this year so we said...what the heck let's do it! It was a wonderful experience and now we are really looking forward to next year. We are setting our opening for mid April of 2014
