Even though February is the month of love due in part to
Hallmark’s marketing, it’s still nice to reflect on the things, people, and places, that we
love and show our appreciation to the
significant others in our life.
Appropriately, my blog
inspiration book, Everthing I Need to Know about LOVE I Learned From a Little Golden Book reminds us that, “without love, we wouldn’t know joy’s true
heights.” A bed and breakfast is a good place to relax alone or celebrate your
relationship with that special someone.
Reflection
This trip was filled with things that I love. It was a combined ski trip, an activity that I love, (Day 151 Ski Utah) and a stay
in a bed and breakfast (B and B), the
Jefferson Inn. The Jefferson is minutes away from Holliday Valley Ski resort in Ellicottiville,
New York . I also love history,
architecture and homes with a past ( Day 153 and Day 154 ) and the Jefferson Inn is
a restored home from the 1800’s with
interesting woodwork, a wrap around porch and
an intimate feel. Of course finding a place to relax with that special someone and to
celebrate a special relationship is really what love
is all about.
After a scary drive through a blizzard, it was a relief to be greeted by the owner and the smell of
chocolate. What I enjoyed about the B
and B was the welcoming atmosphere because someone is sharing their home with you. When you walk in, you are made to feel special as
you are given a tour of the
home, its sitting area, where you can help
yourself to coffee, teas, and homemade
cookies, the entrance to the hot tub,
and your room.

| Breakfast |
In the morning you awake to a fantastic breakfast. Sitting around the table with other guest
you make friends and enjoy being waited on. After a day of skiing, the hot tub
and the smell of fresh baked cookies made even the record breaking cold ( -27 wind chill )
weekend warm and cozy.

I would definitely go to B and B again. This one, the
Jefferson Inn, is a keeper in my empty nest
survival tool box.
Spiritual reflection
And now these three things remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of theses is love (1 Corinthians 13:13)
