A Warm Weather Valentine
| Valentine Chocolate Dipped Strawberries |
It's that time of year, guys and girls,
to be thinking of the one you love. If you're pressed for time,
or would rather just visit the Smokies in the spring instead of
February, purchase a Gift Certificate to be given on the 14th but
redeemed later, and we'll include a complimentary plate of Chocolate Dipped Strawberries.
There is still time for us to get the certificate in the mail, or I can
overnight it. Mention Warm Weather Valentine when calling! So
speaking of warm weather, it has been an unexpectedly mild winter this
year. So far... I'm still waiting for the other shoe to
drop. As most of you know, the last couple of winters, I have
taken winter reservations weather dependent. Translation, call me
with your name, phone number, email address, dates and room
request. I'll call you three days before your arrival with a
weather update. If that four letter word "snow", is not in the
forecast, it's a reservation/stay made in heaven. If the weather
doesn't cooperate there is no deposit lost. Our regular
reservation season is April-November, and a couple of 2012 November
weekends!! are already filled at the Bed and Breakfast with |
Ahhh, No Room at Award Winning Inn!
Guests
are thrilled, me less so, with the occaisonal appearance of this young
bear. For the last eight weeks, he has been in hibernation, which
makes me happy, happy, happy!
What did thrill me was
winning a Blount County Chamber of Commerce Award. Five Businesses
with Under Five Employees were honored for meeting six different
criteria including Exceptional Customer Service. My thanks go to
those guests who nominated Gracehill and our great local Chamber!

You Can Never Have Enough Chocolate!
| Chocolate Truffles |
Okay, if you are allergic you have my sympathy, for the rest of us, these Chocolate Truffles are easy to make and only take three to four ingredients! The English Toffee
recipe is the best I have ever made. The trick for toffee or
caramels, for that matter, to turn out, is to make them while it is NOT
raining! For all our website recipes click here!
