My tongue is hanging out and I’m exhausted. After weeks of licking my lips over the Burpee and Park’s seed catalogs, fantasizing over their color photos of Jumbo This and Giant That, dogearing the pages with my favorites, and then freezing up the computer with 25 pages (more color photos! OMG!) Read more
That banging sound you’ve been hearing is undoubtedly my head slamming against the wall. My computer finally crashed & burned last week, something it’s been threatening to do for awhile now, and this time it knocked me for a loop, disappearing (temporarily, I hope…) 8 years of business email addresses Read more

With the good, comes the bad, right?We’ve had a wonderful fall at the Inn. If I complained about Anything I’d be a criminally stupid idiot. Homer & Linda Hickam stopped by the Elkhorn Inn the night before the Coalwood October Sky Festival and Totally thrilled our guests (and us)! Homer Read more
