25th Anniversary B & B Weekend

Hello everyone! Rich and I just got home from a weekend B&B trip to Menomonie, WI. We haven't done the B&B thing for several years but we figured for our 25th anniversary we should do something special. The B&B we picked was the Country Comfort Inn just outside of Menomonie, WI and the owners were delightful. The house is absolutely gorgeous and thanks to a king-sized dream of a bed I had the nap of a lifetime yesterday afternoon! Bliss! If you're looking for a great  place to stay we highly recommend it! They also have a big open room downstairs that would be ideal for a scrapbooking/stamping weekend, so I'm practically drooling at the prospect of gathering a few girls together to do that sometime. Heck, maybe I can even entice Judy, the owner, to join us! She let it slip that she used to stamp... I don't think she realized what a can of worms that opens up for me! ha!  Loren, her husband is a hero in the kitchen so I know if I could get a few girls to go we'd all be hard pressed to leave! I had smoked salmon for the first time as part of our breakfast and I have to say I'm impressed. It was great! Anyway, we had a wonderfully relaxing day yesterday wandering around Menomonie and exploring one of their nature trails. The trail actually meanders along the river that runs just behind the inn where we stayed and it's a great walk. Mother Nature cooperated beautifully for us and gave us a bright, sunny weekend to enjoy. Now I'm sitting out on our deck enjoying a cup of coffee and the first real sunshine we've had in over 2 weeks. I'm going to try and clear out a flower bed or two later but for now it's just so nice to just sit here and soak up some sun.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! We've got several projects to accomplish now before Josh's graduation party on the 12th so I'm really glad we took the time to get away this weekend.

Take care! We hope to see many of you on the 12th!
