Hello, All. Like Highlands John, I've been off the boards for a while. It's been a surprisingly busy February finishing our winter renovations and having two full weekends! March promises a better month as well.
We're finished putting mini-fridges and large flat-screen tv's with built-in DVD players in all the suites. Put a couple of window units in rooms, new toilets, pedestal sinks, and various other projects. Just a sliding barn door to put in and that will be our renovations.
We are also going to try out text marketing this season. If our guests want, they can get on our text alert system for upcoming events and special offers. We got a deal on it from our new CC processor, so we'll give it a try.
Perhaps the biggest change is that I got laid off from my job. So now I will be an innkeeper full time! Not unexpected as the oil field is in such bad shape, but I wish I could have held out for a little longer.
But the season is looking up around here. We're looking at turning an old building on our property into a banquet hall for receptions, retreats, meetings, etc. Hopefully that will be some extra income.
It's good to be back. I'll get in to the mix here soon and see what's happening. I hope everyone had a good winter.
