Day two at The Greenbrier has been even better than yesterday. I started feeling much better last night and I even ate a little solid food for dinner! Whoohoo! The picture above is of Judson and I going to the opening
last night. I took the picture of me below and sent it to the kids before we left so they would know I was finally "alive" again and feeling better. SCARY...I look JUST like my mother in this picture!
These pictures are sites from the reception last night. It was such a gorgeous setting. The food of course was delicious! It was freezing by the end of the night...I am not complaining...it was a welcome change from the HOT and HUMID temps at home!
Look who we stumbled into as we were headed back to our cottage. Two very famous Chefs...Michael Ollier, the Certified Angus Beef chef, and Livio Ferigo, Executive Chef and owner of Bone Fish Bar & Grill in Bermuda. Michael Ollier has totally changed the way we do steaks in our home. One of our favorite recipes that he shares is the Pan Roasted Filet. You know me...I just HAD to take a picture with the two of them!
We went to the Casino for a few minutes after the dinner. I wormed my way out of there pretty quick. Judson, of course, stayed behind for a few minutes. When I got back to our cottage, look what I found on our coffee table! My first thought was, "Oh, Judson, you shouldn't have!". Then, I read the card. It was from the Greenbrier Manager, Jeff Kmiec!!! WOW! Talk about first rate customer service and listening to and knowing your customers. The Greenbrier has it figured out! I came home to fresh flowers (hydrangeas-my fave), saltines, ginger ale, freshly made chocolates and a sweet card from the manager. Can you believe that???? UNBELIEVABLE! We could ALL learn something from the staff here. They "aim to please". Imagine what the world would be like if we all truly listened to others. I am thoroughly enjoying my visit here and everyone MUST add it to your bucket list.

Everyone has said things in their life they would like to take back. Mom was right. “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” Being honest is great. Being straight forward is also great. However, tactfulness and politeness are equally important. Teach your children to control their tongues. This one trait can take a person far in life. It’s called not burning bridges.
*Okay...preaching is over now!*
Look at our cute cottage! It feels like home! We even had a roaring fire last night. I LOVE the smell of a REAL fire! I texted the pictures to the kids of where we were staying. First words out of Oney's mouth were...look at all of the bright colors!
My "smexy" husband. Not sure exactly what that means. Just heard one of the kids use it the other day in a positive way. I think it means "sexy"?
By the way, if you cannot tell from all the "self focused" blogging lately. I am on the countdown to my "40th birthday"! I have been trying to think of how I would like to spend that day, December 5, "celebrating"! If you have any suggestions for the perfect celebration, my ears are listening. I really can't process that just yet...40...really...me???
Did I tell you I had a truffle making class today with all of the spouses? Yep! I learned something new today! It was fun, too!
Our fabulous Chef that taught us all about truffles! He was very patient and a lot of fun, too! I cannot find his name but he is the chocolatier at the Greenbrier.
Got to go...heading to dinner at The Forum!
