You nailed it! Relaxation and fun is what it is all about. Gotta get out and leave your worries and stress behind. These mountains are terrific for that. God bless and may your year be filled with more relaxation and much fun! Shellie

Thank you so much! Did you know you are officially a member of Professional Porch Sitters Union, Crooked Road Local 1895?
Professional Porch Sitters (PPS) is an informal organization with a large and growing grassroots membership. To become a member you simply need to say you are a member and agree to sit around with friends and neighbors shooting the breeze as often as possible or practical. PPS only has one rule but it's more like a suggestion. "Sit down a spell. That can wait."
As my favorite author wrote: "I believe all that is wrong with the world can be attributed to the shortage of front porches and the talks we had on them. Somewhere around 1950, builders left off the front porch to save money, and we've had nothing but problems ever since." Philip Gulley from Porch Talk
God bless, Shellie - Our porch is available for new and old members at any time.

God bless,
Shellie & Tony

We loved having you, the third time is a charm? Hey Fla is only what, 16 hours from here? Our favorite horse farm/ranch will have ROMANTIC MOONLIGHT Trail Rides beginning in May. What is the saying "The Best Place to Steal a Kiss?" We can set it up for you. God bless, ~Shellie

We are glad you enjoyed the cottage - the little love shack as we sometimes refer to it. We hope to see you again soon! God bless.

Here is a direct quote from yours truly "Opening an inn is like skydiving and hoping your chute will open!" Shellie Leete.
We are so glad our chute opened, and we have safely been grounded by such wonderful guests as yourselves! Come see us again soon. All the best.

Tony says he is THE MOST SOUTHERN, being from down under. LOL!
We hope you continue your B&B journey, since they are all unique, and report back with any special finds. We love hearing B&B stories. But remember at The Claiborne House "all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average." You are now included in that, lest you forget. God bless.

Wow! Someone who really gets our motto: Life is too short for bad coffee.
We wouldn't want anyone leaving without being fully caffeinated. All the best!

Thank you. We look forward to your next visit when you can enjoy Smith Mountain Lake - the water temp is around 84 midsummer! I bet even Bob would enjoy that. God Bless.

We were sad to see you go! I think we may have some common interests. It is just a few weeks later and now the purple wisteria is blooming OUT OF CONTROL near the gate. It is breathtaking. God bless, we look forward to seeing you again!

Next time it's blueberry pancakes for you! Thank you so much for your kind words. We also look forward to another visit. HAPPY SPRING - IT SPRING TODAY.
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SUZANNE & BILL!
Thank you for staying with us. We had as much fun as you did. You are the reason we do what we do and can enjoy it so much! Makes all the drudgery worthwhile. Don't forget the giant sunflowers in bloom up at Peaks of Otter winery around labor day - next year. A kodak moment extravaganza. God bless.

We always enjoy guests who love good coffee. There really is something about the smell of coffee and cinnamon in the morning!
We thank you for staying with us and can boast, per usual that at The Claiborne House "all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average." You have proven it once again!
