The Wall is Down

Day 107 - 85°! - Hot - Spring Meadows Park
Day 106 - 73° - Overcast, Humid - Spring Meadows Park
Day 105 - 65° - Sunny - Spring Meadows Park

It was another busy weekend at the Red Cardinal B&B. Our guests were from Hingham, MA (Red Sox territory). Jack and Lucy were here to visit their daughter who attends Dickinson College. There was a community/college orchestral performance and Isabel played the violin in the orchestra.

During the 3 days they were here, Jack and Lucy left early in the morning and returned late in the evening. They got to see a lot of the area in this short time and ate at several restaurants in downtown Carlisle. Their daughter is a freshman, so we hope to see them over the next 3 years.



We also had family visiting from Connecticut. Dale and Mark came for an overnight and brought some new bedding that I ordered for the guest rooms!

When we said our goodbyes this morning, and the guests left, the contractor came and took the wall down in the kitchen.






What a difference it made. The change was unbelievable. The kitchen was bigger, brighter and even in this very rough stage, Billy and I were excited!



It was the classic - “Why didn’t we do this sooner”! But now that we did it, we can’t wait for the room to be finished.




I guess that’s how it is in life sometimes. It takes a long time to tear some walls down, but when they finally come down, doesn't it feel better? Doesn’t the situation seem brighter, and we say to ourselves - “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”

I can’t wait until we have guests at the B&B after the kitchen is complete. It will give an entirely different look to the Red Cardinal when you step through the front door. Of course, the warm, welcoming atmosphere will still be the same.
