Excellent Weekend!

One of the most wonderful things about the B&B business is the people you meet. I've written about this before. This weekend we had such a wonderful time with our guests. They were very interested in the coffee roastery and everyone checked out the gift shop. Lisa baked for SLU Bookstore and the guests were threatening to steal the goods in the night because the house smelled so good. Of course today's game was a topic of conversation with guests rooting for opposing teams. That's OK though because one guest was on Tim's side! Another wonderful experience with terrific people.

Today's agenda is to work in the shop. Tim's cleaning the roaster and then it will be the game. I'm hoping to either make soap or sew, maybe both. I'd like to make more coffee tote bags as we are out of them and people seem to enjoy them. It would be fun to create some new ones. Whatever I do get done, I hope to share with upcoming photos.

And....we're preparing for the severe cold. 28 below is a bit chilly for sure.

Ah the Woods in the Snow.....

This was a close up of the snow on the trees. As we skiied through the woods, the wind would blow and snow would cascade from everywhere. It is so much fun!

These are some of the pictures I took while I was skiing. The first one was taken the other day but all of the rest were taken this morning soon after I posted the first blog. The snow was just beautiful. It looked like it was glitter coming down from the sky. I tried to capture that in my photos but I'm not sure you can really see all the sparkle. It was breathtaking!

This picture was taken the other day as we set out to ski. It was nearing dusk and as you can see, the colors in the sky were just gorgeous.

In this picture you can really see the sparkle in the snow on the ground. If you look carefully you can see the sparkle as the snow is falling as well. Pictures give you the idea but the experience would take your breath away. It was just amazing. I can't wait to go back out tomorrow! Hopefully, I'll be doing some work in the shop as well.
