Be strong and tough. You and your inn will always be busy because of the person you are. Keep up the hard work and it will be opening in no time. There will be bookings galore and waiting lists. I just hope people are not rude and put you down for your decisions. Remember the old saying. You can't please all the people all the time, only some people some of the time.<br />Live your life / future for you. I'll be reading on and watching your excitement grow.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07816490142334340354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-71829239343705436702018-05-11T16:36:14.691-04:002018-05-11T16:36:14.691-04:00Reading your blogs over time I have become concern...Reading your blogs over time I have become concerned for your health with all the travel, adn all the stress it is putting on your body.

Places I have gone over the years have said if you need something special bring it yourself then you get what you want! Even though it looks fantastic already I can just imagine one project after another to get it to code for your purpose. Electric alone $$$$ you need so many more plugs in bedrooms, bathrooms and especially sewing/classroom. Will you put plugs in the floor? I've seen that in older homes. They are covered by the floor boards but they have a knot hole let's say that one lifts and ta-da recessed outlets! You don't see them unless you look.(just an idea). **I do hate to ask a very busy tired person but is there any way you can tell us the price of the machines, Quilts,etc. that you share on the blog? I never know if someone is honest or not when I see things. You have a keen eye for these beautiful items.

Your post was hilarious. This is "your party" and you should "do what you want to do" as the song says. Keep a list of all this "ME" stuff, will make great copy in one of your up coming books like 'QUILTVILLE COMES TO LIFE'. Please don't let these "I ME" people ruin your plans, your fun, your dreams because the rest of us a loving living your life vicariously and that brings much joy to a lot of people. Maybe you can even find one of those life size card board cut outs of RICKY NELSON that you can put at the entrance with his quote on it, just to get things started right.
