Another Group of Guests

Well it’s already Thursday and Chet and I are currently flying to California for Mike’s wedding, and Chet is one of the groomsmen.

We had guests check in last Wednesday and check-out Sunday (our 1 year wedding anniversary)! All but one couple were families from Montana Academy. Chet and I had a great time serving and hosting them. We cooked several great breakfasts: ham & egg brie strudel (that was so delicious) served with an streusel baked pear and freshly baked scones, upside-down apple cinnamon French toast, sausage-spinach quiche, and berried and cream French toast. Everyday we start out with some kind of fruit, scone and then the main course. People loved the breakfasts, and some said it was too much.

We also served happy hour that came with a glass of wine or beer and appetizer. The appetizers we made were zesty sausage cheese balls that were so yummy, Mary’s famous bean dip, sausage stuffed mushrooms and a pesto-baguette bruschetta. All four appetizers were very good. I also baked chewy ginger snaps and peanut butter chocolate bars that were in a baggie, tied with ribbon, and placed in each room. And of course I had to try most of the stuff to make sure it was good, but always doing that is not good for me. But I have to say I did enjoy it.

The week prior to the guests’ checking-in I bought some games for outside: football, badminton and volleyball set, horseshoes and we already had a croquet set. I was happy to see the games being used by the guests and they really enjoyed it.

The Bed & Breakfast has turned out spectacular. The pictures on the Internet are just what I’ve taken but we just received our first half of the professional photos. She did an amazing job and I’ll be posting those on the website, facebook and everywhere else shortly. The landscape has also turned our great! It has made such a difference.

Chet and I were very busy the days leading up to the guests coming and of course very busy the days they were there, but we enjoyed it very much. I feel we work great as a team!!
