Sorry but I have to admit that I've not been able to post any blogs on this site. There are a couple of reasons, 1stly I doubt if anyone really cares about reading my blogs, 2ndly we've been so busy at the Motel that I could never find the time to sit down and write and lastly if I did have time I used to play Golf at the Oak Meadows Country Golf Club.
I can hardly believe that Fall is upon us and the evenings and early mornings are getting slightly chilly so no more running around in my shorts. Vina already has started wearing her sweaters.
In the summer the swimming pool was a hive of activity and made the whole place look lively. At the moment I managed to cover the pool with a tarpaulin but due to heavy rains we had recently it has started to warp with the weight of all the rain water thats sitting on it.
We have less occupancy now due to less travelling by our guests but last weekend I had the opportunity to meet a remarkable couple from Elizabethtown, KY. The woman was handicapped in that she could not speak or hear and her boyfriend used sign language to communicate with her. They had been staying at another Motel in town and were not happy there so they decided to check the Rustic Motel. When the lady saw the room she was so excited and her exuberance was so heart warming that I thought to myself that people who are fortunate enough to have the ability to listen and speak are always complaining about things and here was this person whose personality was so endearing that I asked her friend if I could just give her a big hug. It made my day and now I tell myself that I should think twice before I go round griping or complaining. The next day her friend who is a firefighter told me that if ever I pass through his town I have to stay at their house. Ronald if you read this blog I want to say what an extraordinary man you are and God bless you for befriending "Sarah" and thank you for your invitation.
I hope to update my blog more regularly and thanks to falling Gas prices we might see more people travelling.It's $2.09 per Gallon in Rolla today.
Come stay with us.
