Hope you are the answer........

Good Afternoon Sweet Friends,

~~~

Hope you day is going well,

Mine is going fine, not a lot going on today.

~~~

So thought today would be a good day to explain

the closing I left you with yesterday.

~~~

Remember............

It was "Hope You are the answer to someone else's prayer!

~~~

We have some dear friends who own and operate a lovely

Bed & Breakfast and they also have cabins (5 of them now,

but last spring a year ago only 3).

~~~

Spring of 2008 they called us and asked us if we would have

any interest in house sitting and running the business

so they could get away for a few days, and they even

insisted on paying us. ( We have said many times

we think it would be so much fun to do something like that),

so we were available to do it and of Course, we said yes.

~~~

We went over the night before and learned the ropes

of knowing where all the supplies and keys were,

which person went where, and how to greet

and check them in and out!

~~~

They had no guests that were staying in the

house only people lodged in the cabins,

and lovely cabins they are, we had the priviledge of

staying in one after the 3 in a row hurricanes hit

4 or 5 years ago, and it was such a blessing.

~~~

So this would be a break in our routine, and something

fun we have always wanted to experience.

The grounds and house are just so quaint, cozy, peaceful .

But there was some work involved too,

but a lot of it was things we like to do anyway,

like watering the plants, and talking with people.

I washed sheets and did some cleaning

in the cabins as well, but I could do that

while hubby was working. He took a couple

of half days, so he would work in the morning

and then have all afternoon off, so it was

a perfect situation really.

~~~

We got to stay in the honeymoon suite

"The Victorian Room"

and it was very nice!!

~~~

One morning I was washing up a few dishes

we had in the sink, and I happened to look

up and see this mug sitting on the shelf,

and it said.............

~~~

"May I be the answer to someone else's prayer"

~~~

I thought what a neat thought that is!!!

~~~

and then I thought that is exactly what they

have been to us!!

~~~

We had wanted to go on a vacation but didn't really think

we should spend the money cause we still had our daughter

in college, but we needed a break, a get away,

just a change of scenery and something different,

and our stay there was all of that.

~~~

We swang on the front porch swings of every cabin and

the main house, we walked about the beautiful grounds

and property and watered the plants, we watched

HGTV and Animal Planet on the cable, (we don't have

cable, so that is always a treat for us.), we talked

to their guests, read their guest book, and it was

such an encouragement, not one bad comment in

there. Enjoyed the lovely Honey moon suite,

with the jacuzzi tub, got take out food,

and snacked on whatever.

And we became like B & B entrepreneurs for a

a few days. How fun is that!!

~~~

So their prayer had been answered,

they had given us a change of scenery

and a quiet respite of peace, and we got to

experience what it would be like to run

something like that. Not sure now that

I would want to do it, but it was fun,

and they are the perfect people to run

it - they are warm, gentle, loving and

sweet spirited folks, and people that

come there can tell their genuine hearts

right away.

I also let them know they were an

answer to our prayer!!

They were happy about that.

~~~

That has been my prayer many times

since we experienced our time

at their place.

~~~

Thought you might like to make

it your prayer too!!

~~~

Have a great Evening!

Love and Blessings,

Nellie
