A Green Idea
A few weeks ago mom and I drove out to see Big Red in New Mexico and saw many hotel rooms on our journey. We were road tripping on a budget and didn’t stay anywhere very special but I noticed many “green” ideas that most chain hotels have adopted. One hotel has a little “rag” that is a bit from an older towel with a little explanation about not using the new towels to scrub your shoes or check your oil and to use the “rag”:) Another hotel had this same idea but it was a paper towel for this same use as pictured below. All of the rooms had some notice about reusing the towels and ways to conserve water. I think it would be great to have something like this at the Snapdragon–a little nicer than a rag or a paper towel perhaps but the idea is great.

This is what happens when…
the adults all have a meeting and the kids are “playing” in the next room.
I am sure they love it. Who wouldn’t like stringing your parents entire supply of toilet paper all over the toy room that your mom just cleaned–it was really clean when we started the meeting.
Painting 200 year old windows
It has been a while since I have worked at the Inn since I had a baby in July and was on and off of bed rest the last 2 months of my pregnancy but I am back to the painting and it feels pretty good– except I am left with the task of painting some pretty old windows. Windows are hard to paint on the best of days, let alone 200 year old windows. It is NEVER boring at the Inn.

RED!
As you may have seen in the live paint-a-thon, we have a red room! This is our Dining Room where we will serve breakfast to our guests. Our dad, Big Red, can whip up some awesome pancakes and when we were brainstorming the breakfast menu we added Big Red’s pancakes which led us to think about painting the Dining Room Red (also his favorite color)and calling it Big Red’s. Here are a couple progress shots of the paint going up. It is the perfect Red (I did pick it, so of course I like it) not too pink and not too burgundy–just right red.
