Just a reminder, now that the weekend’s here and you might be looking to get away from it all: you don’t have to go far to get away! Our winter specials are quite cozy, we’re just an hour outside St. John’s, and we’re open all winter long. And yes, we provide the firewood. Happy Friday!

If that sounds like you, please head over here and fill out an application!
The Grande Seduction
If you’re like us, you absolutely loved the Grand Seduction, the beloved and well received Canadian movie set in outport Newfoundland. We won’t admit to exactly how many times we saw it in theatres – let’s just say it was more than once! Bud Vincent recently sent this photo he shot in New Bonaventure, Trinity Bay, at the site of the movie. Most of the indoor shots were filmed in this blue building. Other were taken in Red Cliffe area.
Anyway, it’s another gorgeous picture from Bud, from what he says was a beautiful day. We believe him!
Fun in the Sun
Just a little update from Mexico. Because yes, we already live in paradise, but everyone needs a break sometimes! The Berry and I have been recouping with her family in Sayulita, Mexico. It’s a surfing town, and we’ve had lots of fun watching the brave individuals out riding the waves. Of course, I’ve spend my life riding different types of waves, in the world of business. Perhaps I’ll have to be a little less literal now and actually go out and get a surf board. Surfing Jerry, here I come!
Meet Your New Digital Strategist!
Here’s Emily, our intrepid web designer and social media manager. She built this beautiful website, plus our sites for The Doctor’s House and the Shag It, too – all a great prices and on great timelines. Anytime we need her – to update our pages, put together a mailout, promote a special event (like the upcoming Devotion Show!) , you name it – she’s there to get our back. She’s friendly, super-professional, really responsive, and great at what she does. You can see more of her work, at Friendly New Media. And we just learned she’s currently taking on more clients – fellow small business owners, listen up! Clearly, she comes highly recommended!
Sunset Sunday: Twillingate
Beautiful sunsets here in Mexico (maybe I’ll share a photo next week!), but nothing like home. Here’s my daughter enjoying the view in Twillingate, on a family trip a few years ago. All that sea and sky – so many similar vistas in our beautiful province. Happy Sunday!
Budding Saturday: Fenced In
Another beautiful winter scene captured by Newfoundland photographer and friend, Bud Vincent. Bud has a new Facebook page – make sure you follow to get regular doses of Newfoundland exceptionalism! Be safe in the snow today (yes, we follow the weather reports, even on holiday!), and have a great weekend.
Brides, Mark Your Calendars
Brides and Grooms – mark your calendars. This year’s Devotion Wedding Show is coming up this March 8th, at the Mount Pearl Glacier. Jerry will be there with bells – and top hat! – on, and we hope to see you there!
Pony Break
Have you hugged a Newfoundland pony today? Well, at least now you can say you’ve oohed and aahed over one! We’re away on vacation, but we know our beautiful ponies, goat and sheep are all holding down the barn, quite literally, at The Doctor’s House. And our wonderful caretaker Perry is taking good care of them like always. Makes us realize that there’s no place like home!
And Now a Scientic Reason to Enjoy our Sleep In Special!
We’re open all winter, and we have some great, cozy-inducing specials to tempt you. And now science is backing us up! Turns our that cuddling releases oxytotocin, and cuddles that indulge frequently can actually get addicted to each other! Our Sleep In Special lets you do that just that, allotting lots of extra time in the morning for getting addicted! Check in after 1pm, and checkout the next day isn’t until 1pm. It’s the perfect tonic for the sleep deprived, and a great way to add a little partner-addiction to your relationship!
