Julia and Jay


We've been busy!  First of all, for now, all water problems seem to be solved.  We might need to buy a new furnace (drat) but maybe not for awhile -- the repair guy got this "old" (hey, it's only 6!!) one working again.  Not without some inconvenience to our VERY lovely and patient guests,  Julia Russell and Jay Goldsmith, professional photographers from New Hampshire.   Julia specializes in gorgeous wedding photos, and Jay, well, you simply have to go to his website and take a look at his work -- simply stunning.

The two of them photographed Micha, Max, myself, the kitchen and the pottery studio -- we are so excited to have had these two wonderful people here -- and they did not even complain one little bit about not having hot water for part of their stay.  In fact, Jay said, "AH, hot water is overrated...."  

Have I mentioned that our guests are our biggest blessing?

Julia and Jay's photos of our house will be used to send out to publications for the B&B.    How exciting!

Now we are guest free and soaking up some well deserved rest, and doing some much needed maintenance around the house.  The electricians will be here this week, and I will be able to shoot some pictures of the new wine cellar...  Micha is busy stocking it...


Buona giornata, tutti....

I am glad things are looking up for you. I know how it is with upkeep. I need a new dishwasher, garbage disposal, In wall microwave, dryer and probably a new fridge soon. I really wish I had a landlord to complain to! Oh well, this is my castle even if it is broken.

I checked out Julia's and Jay's websites and they both have stunning work. Thanks for sharing.

Cara,

I am sure you prove that great hospitality is not about hot water. The fact that your guests are your blessing is enough. I am sure, too, that good reputanion spreads among your guests/friends. Enjoy your short interval! Bacione, Ingrid in Umbria
