The Guests Begin to Arrive (gulp!)

Our first guests was a couple celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary and had requested the Romance Package.  That consisted of a bouquet of roses, a split of champagne and they requested breakfast be served to their room.  We put them up in the Carolina Lilly room (the one with a fireplace, canopy bed and the double shower head!)

Boy! was I nervous!

We greeted them, had them sign the guest book, showed them the downstairs parlor and dining room and took them upstairs.  They seemed okay.  He seemed not totally delighted with the whole Bed & Breakfast thing.

The next morning, a breakfast of stuffed French toast, a side of bacon, mixed fruit, Greek yogurt and orange juice was delivered at the pre-arranged time - and he seemed much, much happier!

When they checked out he was as happy as can be, saying they would be sure and come back again!  I do believe he is now sold on the concept of B&B!

(And I silently hear the cheers of encouragement!)

But no time to savor success!  We have another guest coming in at 3 p.m.  Lots to do to prepare for her and her three day stay!  She's a mother-of-the-bride, and I'm certain will be the most stressed of all our guests - except her daughter, who will staying her the night before the wedding.  John and I will do everything in our power to not be a part of that stress and maybe even help lift some of the stress from them.
