    Just made a reservation for myself at an air BnB !

    I’ve never stayed at an air B&B I don’t think. I say that because the last b&b I stayed at was super basic and was a room in someone’s home. You might remember … there were hair curlers in the bathroom and clothes in the room and the soap and shampoo were all open little travel size bottles. 😉...

Of course I can’t duplicate...

    I am so late to the party on this one! Encountered it twice today and had to look it up. Twice! If I understand it correctly, they eat everything including fish, eggs and dairy, but don’t eat meat. So … what is the difference between a pollotarian and a pescatarian? And apparently there are...

    Linda of Strawberry Farm

    Just a note to mention to those of you who remember Linda of Strawberry Farm, she passed away in 2018. Sad that somehow I missed notice of her passing and only just found out, but felt the need to share. I believe she joined here way back in 2008 and just loved innkeeping. ❤️
