Autumn is here

It has been a busy couple weeks (months...years) and there are a busy couple more. We had our first booked weekend at the Inn and it went smoothly. Phew.When I was doing some housekeeping on Saturday, I had the first sense of relief that I have had in that building and felt like it was going to be ok. I have liked seeing some of our guests post photos of the Inn and their time there. Keighty arranged some gorgeous flowers for the common spaces that she gathered from around lake Runnemede and the Inn. They are works of art and the perfect touch for the weekend. It was wonderful to see it full of people (none of which we knew) who enjoyed their experience. Double phew.

The changing foliage is looking lovely and I am very excited for Leilani & Rob's wedding this weekend and have a feeling that the colors are going to be amazing. I can't wait to see my room mates and have a mini reunion with them as well. I had a sneak peek of the dress last week and she is looks stunning. Her dress is smashing and I am excited to take heaps of pictures of the big day on Friday.

Our boy took some steps this week. If he really wants to, he'll walk or he'll just crawl really really fast. I will try and get a video of it this week or next. I have great hopes for the month of November and my ability to regain a modicum of order back into our lives at home. It has been an absolute blur of Inn work that past 6 months but I think it is almost safe to say that most of the big work is done...a girl can dream.

AND yesterday was my parent's 40th wedding anniversary. I love my dad's iridescent blue suit and mom's luscious locks--thank you 1970! My sister wrote a perfect tribute to them but I wanted to add my enthusiasm to their day (the day after their day) because it is remarkable. I can say this because I have been married for 6 and a bit years and know how much energy it can take and that's six itsy bitsy years add thirty-four more and you have my parents! They are a perfect example of love in all of it's facets. Enough said. Semper Fi. One day at a time.
