November is a time for remembering our war heroes who have served our country. The Blue Star Mother’s do a fantastic job of supporting our troops. Here is a brief synopsis of the Blue Star Mother’s Organization. It is a support through service organization. There are members from all over the United States. Moms joining together to share their pride, their devotion and their worries for our sons and daughters currently serving in all branches of the Armed Forces of the United States, and our sons and daughters who are now veterans.
These families volunteer their time and efforts to send care boxes to our troops, support families while loved ones are away, and provide fleece blankets for our veterans just to name a few of the loving ways this organization supports our troops. I can imagine the love that a veteran feels when a member visits with a fleece blanket or the troops overseas who open a care box filled with items from home.
This will be our third annual fundraiser. Sample our great BBQ Ribs and flatbread with garlic, melted cheese and assortment of fresh vegetables along with other favorite goodies to enjoy. The children enjoy telling Santa what they want for Christmas and the troops will enjoy getting their drawings that were included in the care boxes.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to our Open House Fundraiser filled with lots of laughs, fun and food at the Spicer Castle Inn and Restaurant, 11600 Indian Beach Rd., Spicer, MN 56288. Monday, November 14, 2011 from 5:00 to 8:00 pm.

With Thanksgiving around the corner, I was thinking this evening why I am so thankful. As a mom and grandmother, I am thankful for my amazing sons, grandsons and finally a granddaughter born on November 8th. Does anyone know if they sell pink trucks? Just kidding! It is so much fun when my grandsons visit and ask for “nola bars” and “fuit nacks,” translated granola bars and fruit snacks. Coloring pictures, playing ball and reading books are great past-times at my house. I love to bake pies, breads, pastries and cakes and I plan to bake our family favorites: pumpkin, pecan and apple pies with enough left overs to send goodies home with my family.

As an innkeeper, I am thankful for our amazing staff that work so hard to make sure that each guest is met with gracious hospitality, clean rooms and great food. Their dedication and extra effort to make sure that our guests enjoy their stay is outstanding, they are my extended family and I am so grateful.
I am very thankful for all the wonderful guests that we have had the privilege of welcoming to our historic country lake inn. The highlight of innkeeping is meeting and getting to know our guests, just last week there was a couple celebrating their anniversary and I had so much fun helping the man plan a surprise vow renewal for his wife. It is creating memories that makes all the hard work that goes into innkeeping rewarding. This isn’t just an old building with all its intricacies, it is a place where people celebrate life’s precious moments. We had a dream of having people enjoy this piece of history and feel like they are home while visiting our bed and breakfast.

I hope you all have reasons to be thankful this year and remember the little things that make you smile. I’ll really be smiling this year because my family is coming to my house and I get to prepare a feast; and I look forward to more great guest comments, maybe one from you!!!
