Oh My Goodness!

Oh my goodness, the Fall weather has been faaabuuulousss! This has been one of the busiest Octobers for us. We feel the weather, the colors and the fact that they cannot go to western North Carolina (for obvious flooding reasons) that we are getting quite a flurry of guests! Enjoying the porch with the lake views and warm sunny days with crisp (but not cold) nights is perfect!
The airport had a cool Spook-tac-u-lar that brought out plenty of families with their children. The Smith Mountain Lake Airport is a fun place to be! There was chili in a cauldron, decorations and plenty of food and treats for the little ones!
A couple of weeks ago, I took some updated pictures or our guests rooms and put them on our Facebook page. One of them inspired me to give the Fishing Room a little facelift. In the past, the colors have primarily been salmon and green. I took this first photo the looked at it. Pretty basic. But, what did this room need?
I happened to be in the Moneta Farm Store and decided to look at color swatches for paint. I don’t know why, but I spontaneously purchased a quart of paint and then proceeded to paint an accent wall. This photo was the motivation to change, but then one thing led to another. The wall be came so blue, that I had to re-do the accents in the room and the artwork too! I rearranged some of the artwork in that room and added the pelican by Sheridan Brown to pull from the blue.
This shows the other part of the room BEFORE. Cozy! And there is a little blue in the bedspread. But I decided to go further. Good ole AMAZON! I ordered two new fish prints and rearranged a bit.
I maybe went overboard on segmented fish! But look what happened when I moved the mirror over the bed! A cool reflection!
This is not all we have been doing! Haha! We are very buy with the church and in the community.
Our choir from church has been invited to sing with composer, Joel Raney at Carnegie Hall on December 2. It had not been on our bucket list, but singing with 250 voices on stage in NYC will be way cool! It is a dress black affair. We are taking the train out of Lynchburg to NYC and have 2 days of rehearsals with the composer before we sing the concert!
We will also be closed for a professional development meeting in November. The Mid-Atlantic Innkeepers will be meeting, sharing ideas, recipes and networking! We are hoping to come back renewed!
Jack is co-chair on a committee to purchase a new church organ. Installing the organ has led to some sanctuary remodeling of Bethlehem United Methodist Church. But the congregation has been very flexible, even with the pastor preaching in a hart hat!
Yep! That acrylic pelican by Brown just pulled that room all together…🥳🥳🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪
