Tacky Light Tour

Thursday, December 24th, 2009
December 23 was a big night around our Richmond Bed and Breakfast, here in the Historic Fan District. We had arranged for a limo to pick us up and take us to see the houses all gussied up for the tacky lights tour. I think tacky lights may be a Richmond thing because I don’t remember them back in Maryland. I changed into my people garb – canines are not allowed in the limo and went along for the ride.
Tacky Lights are pretty specific, in order to be included on the tour, the house and yard has to have 40,000 lights! Can you imagine? Well, you don’t have to imagine; here are a couple of photos. (more…)

Snow is Falling

Saturday, December 19th, 2009


It is time for mittens and boots at our historic Fan District Bed and Breakfast.   Snow started falling yesterday evening and has pretty much continued all night and into today — there were patches of sleet and wintry mix over night I heard.

Mother Nature left snow caps on our ornaments hanging on the dogwood tree outside.

Annual Holiday House Tour

Monday, December 14th, 2009

The interior of our Richmond Bed and Breakfast inn is gussied up for the holidays, too. Here are a few snapshots of how I helped Pat decorate. I did help too – I still have glitter on my nose!

Here is our Christmas tree in the main parlor. It is decorated with gold, purple, lime green, and white ornaments. The snowflakes on the tree are all ornaments that Pat’s Mom crocheted, beaded, and starched. We have used them on our parlor tree since 1997. Since we moved into the William Miller House one week before Christmas in 1996 – we didn’t have a tree then — we had plaster dust and tools everywhere. (more…)

Holidays are here!

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009


Things have been very busy here at our bed and breakfast in Richmond’s historic Fan District. So busy, in fact, my paws have been too tired to type in my blog. First there was a beautiful fall, trees covered in magnificent red, orange, and yellow leaves, and squirrels to be chased in my yard. Then there was Halloween with our big pumpkin on the porch and all the treaters, then shopping for Thanksgiving dinner, and, finally decorating for the Christmas and New Year holidays.

In the middle of it all, Pat and Mike got new computers and I lost my password to my blog. For three weeks I have been trying to log in and brief you all on the happenings – today I finally asked for help. (more…)
