November Already?

Confessions of an Innkeeper: 

My name is Michelle and I love pie.  Apple pie, chocolate pie, peanut butter pie, butter beer pie – the options are endless. November is officially the best pie month of the year, when no one considers multiple pieces of multiple varieties of pie to be a bad thing.  Elastic waistbands and cozy hoodies allow you the extra room to eat pie with abandon and it’s a beautiful thing.  Until January, when the world scrambles into resolution and get healthy mode and your biggest regret becomes the bad life choices you made when celebrating November Pie.

Quote: “Cut my pie into 4 pieces, I don't think I could eat 8.”
Yogi Berra

Fun fact:  

November 22, 1980 provided the long-awaited answer to one of life’s crucial questions; “Who shot J.R.?”  That date will forever remind me of the Thanksgiving that my Grandma came to visit and insisted on dinner in front of the tv with complete and utter silence in the house.  I didn’t understand the urgency then, but having now lived through many season finale cliffhangers, I totally get it. IBB staff often debates important plot topics of our favorite shows while we work our way through daily housekeeping.

It’s October!

Confessions of an Innkeeper: 

My name is Michelle and I do not actually enjoy doing laundry.  Let me amend that statement – I enjoy folding warm laundry, freshly pulled from the dryer.  I can take or leave the washing/drying cycle.  But the putting away process is a chore I will procrastinate until the end of time.  Or until I run out of clean socks.  Chances are if I don’t put it away the minute it’s folded, I will simply live out of the laundry basket until it’s time to wash it all again.   IBB staff puts away approximately 9,000 loads of laundry a week, but luckily, it’s all easy stacks of towels and sheets.  I can handle that job.  Welcome to our corner of the world.

Fun fact:  

There are a set of 3 trees that line up behind the back balcony of IBB.  For about 15 minutes each Fall, they are in their full glory, completely covered in gorgeous leaves – one red, one yellow, one orange.  It is a sight to behold.  Every single autumn I set a goal to take the perfect photo of all 3 trees.  And every single autumn, I miss it because a sturdy wind blows half the leaves off each tree immediately after all the leaves finally turn.  This year is my year!
