The Not-So Mystery Hat Thief Saga

Fuzzy hats seem to be missing here at Fairview Manor B&B! We finally have nabbed the culprit. Ms. Murphy Brown, age 1 1/2 and weighing in at 77 pounds, was caught in the act. This time she was seen entering a guests' car and leaving with the fuzzy hat in her mouth. Though she doesn't rip the hats, it did take a while to chase her down as she ran around the meadow with her new prize. Thankfully, no damage was done to the hat. We also discovered where she had hidden the rest of her "loot" - the hats were behind the clothes hamper. I guess she wanted me to wash them!

Christmas comes to the Manor!

Mom arrived today to help with the decorating. The whole Inn smells of the wonderful noble fir tree that was purchased from the Mt. Feed Store, but only after sampling the organic apple cider. Yum.
The stockings have been hung, just waiting for Santa to fill them. Of course, they will be pushed aside once the fire has been lit.
Celtic music is flowing and the Celtic Woman's Christmas CD is awesome. I can almost smell the sod burning. Someday we will spend the holidays in Dublin.

Blessings this Thanksgiving

Hoping that you have a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving. That we all take a moment to reflect on what we are grateful for. I am thankful for my children and grandchildren who are generous with their love and time. I am thankful for my friends that are always close by with advice or a hard shoulder. I am thankful for the interesting guests this year at Fairview Manor and the hopes of meeting many more next year.
Remember the "only" overstuffed allowed is the bird!
