AN AFTERNOON AT THE GEYSER
DELIGHTFUL DISCOVERIES
Our 2008 quest is to discover great finds for our guests. Some of what we’ve discovered so far:
42 DAYS AND COUNTING…
Spring is just a little over a month away…we’re getting excited about seeing all the bulbs that have starting springing up here at the Inn on Mill Creek, such as crocuses, tulips and daffodils. The irises are peeking out, too, as is the stonecrop. No sign of the hyacinths yet. Those were put in just last Fall as part of the 500-bulb addition to the Pool Garden.
NEW EXHIBIT AT THE ARBORETUM
As members of the North Carolina Arboretum Society, we recently learned about a new exhibit on display at the North Carolina Arboretum and we wanted to share the information with you in the event you’re looking for things to do in our area during this quiet winter season.
A TRULY WINTER WONDERLAND
TEST KITCHEN
With January being the quietest month of the travel season in western North Carolina, Dave spent some time this week trying out two new quiche recipes. Quiche is a baked egg dish and one dish will serve 4 to 6 people. When served right out of the oven, it has that “melt in your mouth” quality that makes it a great comfort food and one that’s perfect to warm you on a wintry mountain morning.
GREEN EGGS AND GLAM
Last week, two of our guests-turned-friends, April and Michael, stayed with us again. Their bassett hound, Lady, also came to visit and our innpugs loved her (especially Csaba). April and Mike celebrated their first anniversary last year at the Inn. During their visit this time, it was a bit colder and we even got some snow, but that didn’t stop everyone from having fun.
CONGRATS TO ERIC AND MICHELLE
We’re happy to share some exciting news. Two great guests, Eric and Michelle, got engaged this past weekend at the Inn. We love when guests share their memory-making moments with us. Best wishes to the happy couple as they plan their upcoming wedding!
GAGA OVER GARDENING
Someone stop Brigette; she’s on gardening overload. We’ve received about 14 seed and nursery gardening catalogs in the past two weeks, and the lists (plural) of what to buy next just keep getting longer and longer. Thumbing through page after page of beautiful flowers and shrubs is a great way to pass a winter’s day.
