All good things must come to an end...

Having my dear friend, Alise, here for a week was fabulous, and I was sad to have to say goodbye on Wednesday. I drove her back to San Jose so she could catch her flight back to Canada early in the afternoon. I parked the car and walked her to the airline counter where she checked her bag and got her assigned seat. As we were walking towards the security line, we stopped into a gift shop. I spotted a rack of books... in English!! WOW, jackpot!

I checked out the titles and landed on "Quiet" by Susan Cain. It's all about how introverts cope in an extroverted world. I know many people think I'm extroverted because I can be quite sociable and chatty. I'm certainly not shy and I'm pretty open. Although that's true, I need a lot of time alone to recharge my energy (which is ultimately the definition of an introvert). Extroverts get their energy through external factors... being with people recharges them. So, the topic of this book intrigues me. I haven't started it yet, but will start tomorrow, I think. I always look forward to cracking open a good book. I've heard good reviews, so I'm hopeful.

We have more B&B guests arriving late in the week so we have a little break until then. And we have my daughter, Phoenix, coming with a friend for a week in early May to look forward to. I can't believe it's almost May... where does the time go?

Oh, and let us not forget about the rain... finally!! The skies opened up and it rained for several hours on Friday and Saturday. This is a very good thing.

What a great pic of you Anne. You must really look forward to seeing Phoenix. Hope you post a pic of her so we can stay up to date. I am also an introvert. I need to be alone to get my energy up to be with people and then I can hang with the best of them! For awhile...It's great to have a companion who lets you be as I am sure Kevin is and old friends who let you retreat for awhile and don't take offense. We continue to enjoy hearing from you, love to you both, Ingrid and Allan

Hi Ingrid and Allan... it's always great to hear from you and know that you continue to follow us. How lovely! I will surely do my best to get a picture of Phoenix and share it here. Hope you are readying yourselves for spring and summer back in Canada. Hope you are both well. Hugs and heartfelt tugs

    Dave and Krista are a couple from the Pacific Northwest that led overwhelmingly busy lives. 
    As her son Hayden was graduating high school, and daughter Korynn wrapping up college, they realized it was time to slow down. Life was going far too fast . They wanted to take the time to enjoy stress free living with their eight year old son Quinn.
    Having visited Hush Valley Lodge as guests in January of 2016, they decided this would be the exact change they needed.
    In the pursuit of happiness, they partnered with Jo, Peter, Molly, Gary and Dan to make this dream a reality, and are currently the stewards of the magic that is Hush Valley Lodge.
