What fun for me that Bella and her folks were this weekend's guests! Her dad, Mark, planned the weekend as a surprise to Amy for their first anniversary. Well, unbeknown to Mark (and Amy), his mom called me and asked me if I could arrange to have flowers and champagne waiting for them when they arrived at the cabin. (I guess he gave her the website when he told her about the plans he'd made, and it was easy for her to take it from there without him being the wiser.) I was happy to oblige! The flowers were beautiful, by the way! Fay's Flowers, right in New Market, was a perfect place to have the arrangement done.
Sometimes it can be a challenge to do that (decorate the cabin for a guests celebrating something like an anniversary or a birthday), but ultimately, I can always make it work with the help of folks I know in the area. (I live 2 hours away from the cabin.) In this case, it was time for me to visit the cabin for some owner TLC, as I call it, so I made sure my timing was such that I could do the job myself. My timing was so perfect, I guess, that I got to meet Mark and Amy and Bella when they arrived at the cabin, as I was only just then finishing up everything I wanted to get done before returning home. It's rare that I am able to meet my guests in person, so I considered it a wonderful treat. I loved being able to give them a tour of the cabin.
From the guestbook at Paws & Reflect:
Came here to celebrate our 1st anniversary . . had a great time! Bella loved running around, and even tried the doggie door. It was refreshing to stay somewhere so pet friendly. Thanks!
Mark, Amy & Bella
