    The Breakfast From Hell + 2

    A nap would be awesome! The one-nighters are about to kill me! I've had multiple turn-overs every day this week and fitting that in with Mom's doctor's appointments and my physical therapy has just beaten me down. Spousling has been gone every night but one this week and the offspring has been...

    Mother died; Zika Virus; Hospitalized. Cancellation requests!!!

    Another snorter here, too. This is nothing short of complete BS. Let's call a spade a spade, shall we?

    What to tell guests when dangerous suspect being sought in your area

    someone held up and robbed the Amish fruit stand just a mile up the street from me. Poor woman. She was able to keep her wits about her and get a description of the suspect, his vehicle and the tag! The police caught him less than 2 hours later! Guess I'm going to move up my plans to get a front...

    TA's latest Mobile App for iPhone Marginalizes B&Bs

    I hope they do fix it. They already treat B&B's like step-children. I've noticed, too that they changed the desktop format. I used to be able to see recently reviewed properties on the right of my display. No longer.

    is everyone going barking mad?

    I just got my first request to move beds!! I have two couples, taking our adjoining rooms. One room has a king bed and a twin daybed; the other has just a queen. The woman who called said that she and her husband needed separate sleeping areas, so they will take the room with the two beds, but...

    Quick Breads

    This is exactly what I did today and all 10 mini loaves of blueberry zucchini are nice and puffy on the tops and done all the way through!

    Note to self:

    I'm right there with ya! I wanted to throw in the towel this morning - 9 for breakfast; 4 check-outs and 4 check ins means 4 rooms to turn with no help. And then guest tells me that her 12 y/o wet the bed! "oh, he hasn't done this in a week". WTH!!! And when your kid wets the bed down to the...

    Guests who steal food!

    If you're not on premises, people are going to snoop around.

    Quick Breads

    I like to make quick breads - you know, like zucchini, orange/cranberry, blueberry/lemon and the like (no yeast involved). But lately, I've noticed that they are very done around the perimeter and still doughy in the middle. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?? It...

    And did you know that in CA, you cannot exclude children (legally)?

    How do you call yourself a B&B? You are a 'homestay'. According to Trip Advisor, you only have 7 nights booked for the month of July. Maybe your booking engine isn't up to date?

    "We love B&B's" does not necessarily translate...

    They arrived for breakfast this morning bright an early at 9:37! Maybe tomorrow they'll actually be on time. I sure hope so, Spousling and I are driving down the shore for an overnight. No guests for tomorrow night, so I'm taking a day off!

    "We love B&B's" does not necessarily translate...

    ..to "we are good B&B guests"!! Checked guests in yesterday afternoon. Guy by himself says he will be picking up his wife later at the airport (he was already in the area on business). He states that they stay at B&B's a lot, all over the country. Always a little concerned when guy checks in by...

    The TV isn't working

    I have to explain to guests that the remote for changing the channels is not going to work if they have something blocking the cable box receiver. Duh.

    Do you watch what you wear? Apron? Uniform?

    I also wear the Land's End polos, t-shirts and blouses and aprons with our name and logo. I wear them with jeans or shorts. When I wear them to the grocery store, someone usually comments that they've seen or heard about my place. I also bought ball caps (also LE) for my husband, brother-in-law...

    Weird weekend

    Did that yesterday afternoon while, you guessed it, waiting for guests. Did TWO WEEKS' worth!! So I won't have to worry with it while I'm in Disney next week.
