Today is Earth Day. I remember the excitement surrounding the first one back in 1970 when many nations got together on the same day to commit to making sure there was a future for the generations to come and keeping the environment we all share on this earth healthy and sustainable. As a result of witnessing that occasion, I began following the writings of Wendell E. Berry. Wikipedia describes Mr. Berry "as an American novelist, poet, environmental activist, cultural critic, and farmer." He is all that, but I just love his writings. He claims to have been influenced by Shakespeare, Henry David Thoreau, Robert Frost, W.B. Yeats, Mark Twain, Thomas Jefferson, etc. All writers, philosopher
TO ALL OUR FRIENDS ... Richard and I received word late yesterday that Charred Oaks Inn had not made it to the next round in the Seventh Annual Best B&B Breakfast Tournament. We were assured, however, that the competition had been quite stiff. And that is due to all of you! Your kindness has overwhelmed us and we feel like grand champions regardless! Being chosen one of the 16 finalists is an honor we will be celebrating for a long time. THANK YOU for making the time to cast your votes ... Richard said to tell you that I am working on yet another new recipe (sweet this time) and that anyone who wishes to be a taste-tester should let us know at: innkeeper@charredoaksinn.com Cheers for now!
We wish our family, friends, neighbors, COI guests and guests-to-be much love, fun adventures, happy memories, good health and peace, perfect peace.
Richard and I wanted to let everyone know that as of today, we have not yet heard the results of yesterday's voting, but we did want to say a big THANK YOU to all of you - our very favorite peeps - who made the time and effort on our behalf to cast not only your own vote, but invited others to participate too! Because of your love and support, we already feel like winners! Three cheers for Charred Oaks Inn's peeps! We wish you and yours a wonderful spring and the best of everything life has to offer. xo
