Checking into the Dream

Monday, August 13th, 2012

Chapter 8 March 2007:  My guests loved the inn as it was and that was why they were my guests.  Many had been coming here for years.  They were ok with an inn that was rough around the edges in exchange for lower rates.  This was not an uncommon strategy, to cut costs to the [...]

The Money Pit

Monday, July 26th, 2010

I have always been a day dreamer. It’s important to me to have time alone to think. One day I was watching the HGTV Dream Home Giveaway show. It was a beautiful water front home. They give away a new home every year if you haven’t seen the show.
