Good morning:
We're learning, slowly but surely!
Full house last night (extended family in town for a wedding reception, including guests from Germany). At about 10 p.m. one of the guests said "don't worry about breakfast - it's been a long day and we won't be up very early." (Our weekend breakfast is served at 8 a.m, since DW plays the piano/organ for a local church). We had already posted the breakfast upstairs on an antique blackboard that we found and framed.
Her: "Just some coffee, maybe some fruit. We'll go out to eat breakfast when everyone gets up."
Me: "Okay. Are you sure?"
Her: "Well, maybe one or two people will be up to eat."
Of course, DW and I put our heads together and decided to fix a full breakfast for 6 guests. Sure enough, they trickled down and as I type are all sitting around the table raving over homemade biscuits, baked egg dish, yogurt parfait, mountain-top bacon, etc.
If we hadn't gone with our hunch, we would have had coffee and some sweet breads, and they'd be eating at a local family-style breakfast place.
They are leaving with great memories of comfortable beds, good food and a beautiful home... not the local restaurant scene.
