    I'm at it again

    I cannot recall and it's not readily available on the page. I'll see if I can find it.

    I'm at it again

    I've entered another contest, this one sponsored by FedEx. I know I have a snowball's chance in hell of winning, but who knows. You can vote once per day. I'm the only B&B in the contest. http://smallbusinessgrant.fedex.com/Gallery/Detail/14266c44-8b63-4c8f-b781-eda14b77be01

    Tipping.... It's Not Just A Town in China....

    Ticks me off when they TAKE the envelope! Really, people!! I understand if you'd rather not leave a buck or two, but don't take my envelope!! That's just a sign to me that you feel guilty for not leaving a tip and you figure if the envelope isn't there we won't notice. Stupid!

    Tipping.... It's Not Just A Town in China....

    That's wonderful! I had multi-nighters check out this morning. After they presented me with $400 of BandBdotcom gift cards, with commissions costing me $80, I was certain they'd had left me a tip. Nope! Just a dozen empty bottles for recycling. I really shouldn't complain, I've been 98%...

    100% deposit?

    That would never work here. Too strict. Guests have over 150 B&B's to choose from. They'd just go somewhere else.

    My first major mess-up

    Hey! When those guests leave, send them our way! I have a feeling that I have a few PITAs coming my way later this week.

    Tales from the Weekend

    We are also calling the plumber this morning. Sump pump attached to washer drain hoses seems to have stopped working. While we have him here, we'll have him put a new shut off valve on the supply line to the toilet on the 3rd floor.

    Question for the Americans :)

    Unless that state is Pennsylvania, you are fine. Cannot bring alcohol from out of state into PA. Illegal. This is just for PA as far as I know, and perhaps Utah. Yes, welcome to prohibition.

    Brace yourself: TA is changing its ranking algorithm again

    OH MY!! I've moved up to #5!! I haven't budged from #6 for over 3 years!! I'm not sure I know what to do! Though I'm sure this will directly correlate to their wanting to increase the cost of the business listing. Sigh.

    Making a difference!

    I've added my listing, but unfortunately most of the pics that I have are too large. The listing also tells me that I need to add things that I've already added. Also, can I share this with my local B&B association? the promo and everything?

    Today is (supposed to be) THE Day!

    I really believe that eventually, everyone gets a 'turn'. Our local newspaper is a good example of that. They periodically run articles not only on the B&B industry as business, but also feature our recipes and such. It's fun to see who's featured next. Oh, and a few months ago they had a big...

    Today is (supposed to be) THE Day!

    So, part of the prize includes an all-day regional training event. The one I will attend is in DC on April 19. So, they fly me into DC on the 18th, put me up at a hotel for two nights (where the event is being held) and I have to fly back the morning of the 20th. It had to be in the morning...

    I refuse to believe that TA is 'improving' anything except their bottom line

    Some yummy looking stuff and BEAUTIFUL pics. However, you do realize that the only inns that win these BB.Com 'contests' are just the Diamond Collection, right? Flowers & Thyme's entry is awesome, but they're not DC, so they probably won't even be considered. I wish I were wrong.

    I earned my week off (warning - long)

    No guests for this upcoming week as we are having some floors refinished. I was so looking forward to this, a few days off, but had no idea what kind of weekend from hell I was going to have to endure before I got to Sunday afternoon. It started Friday evening about 6:30. I only had two...
