Making Friends at a B&B

a birthday gift from my guests

The miniature roses were a birthday gift from our guests, Gene and Marilyn of New York. Two fun, interesting and gracious guests that were with us for six nights. The pretty pink rose bush has been on my table now for a week receiving morning sunlight on our breakfast table. This antique milk pitcher has held many 3 inch flower pots. I place the pot in a plastic sandwich bag to protect the glass from calcification damage.

guests meeting guests

Gene, Marilyn, Chris and Mike met here for the first time and left as friends. Opening ones mind and heart makes a bed and breakfast stay more than a place to eat and sleep. We are a very social bed and breakfast encouraging conversation between guests. On occasion our schedule doesn’t allow us to spend time with our guests, but over all we’re generally an element of a guest’s time here.

Cute and practical hats and sunglasses are a must here. The UV rays are strong at 7500 feet in elevation which causes damage to skin and eyes. Click this photo for an informative site called Sun Safe Colorado.

chris is a writer of children\'s non fiction books

Chris…what can I say, she’s fun, expressive and totally in the right profession as a children’s non-fiction book author and writer’s conference coordinator.

Maggie on June 9th

See why I call her sweet-pea. Maggie will save her steps by peeking around a corner. She was hiding her tennis ball when I called for her to come to breakfast.
