Here’s to the weekend! We hope that you have an equally beautiful place of solace to toast! We get out here every evening we possibly can – and each time, we still get that ‘aaaah’ feeling. Which is amplified by a complimentary glass of wine, naturally!
More Joe Friday
You’ve heard us rave so much about Joe Friday that you’d be forgiven for thinking he can turn water into wine. Well, not quite, but almost – he’s set up a mean wine making station in the basement of The Gannet instead. Of course, when he’s tinkering away in Joe Friday’s Winery (see above), then we call him Joe Merlot. There’s lots of Joe’s to keep track of!
Many thanks to friend Alan for this great shot of Joe. Now, if you think this is one handsome fellow, or you like reading my blog in general, please vote for me for a TopBlog award. It’s easy – head to this link, and find my blog under the category ‘Best Business or Professional Life Blog’ on the bottom left. And if you have more time, check out some of the other categories and see if anything strikes your fancy. Joe Friday thanks you!
Busy, Busy, Busy!
A busy weekend but a good one. On top of all the moving and building and painting and etc, we also got to meet and register several guests – that’s the fun part that makes it worthwhile.
Now, if you’re looking to book, we promise that every cottage is already gorgeous, stocked, and ready to be enjoyed. But, we’re still new owners, so we’re doing a lot to make the cottages “ours.” Our target is to have everything in place by the end of March so we’ll be completely ready for high season. Can’t wait!
And a busy work day’s not so bad when Laurelyn knows how to cook up a mean tortellini with meatballs, and I know just how to pair it with the perfect red wine – overall, it’s been a great weekend!
This Wine’s For You
Here’s the wine I’ve had to set aside for our Leap Year Promo – ‘buy one, get one night free’ for anyone who books by the end of February for the offseason. The first five bookings get a free bottle of wine (or a box of chocolates, guess how many went for wine!).
It’s been great learning about the tourism industry and now trying out new ways to encourage guests to come visit – we love this place and want to share it. I’m living proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks – at least as long as the dog is having fun.
