I can’t figure out how to link from this blog, they can found online at BedandBreakfast.com. Click the Innkeepers’ tab, select Resource Library, then scroll way down to “time for a smile” — or use the “control F” command and you’ll see links to these three articles:

Did we write that? On hospitality
Did we write that? On accommodations
Did we write that? On food
Did we write that? On location and setting

Enjoy!

I have been Innkeeing for 14 years and saw Sandra at a PAII conference in Myrtle Beach many years ago.

We had met a few times before and I felt quite comfortable with her and she with me.
She shared with me some funny descriptions that Bed and Breakfast owners had written to describe their establishments. She was there to critique and give writing pointers to Innkeepers.

She laughed and handed me a copy and said, “If you want a laugh, read these”.

Well, I did.
Roger and I retired to our room, and Roger fell quickly to sleep while I read these comments with misplaced participles and incorrect grammar and found myself laughing so hard I shook the bed and certainly gave my husband a vibrating “magic fingers” massage!

I laughed so hard I had to stop before I woke Roger and finally thought, “what a wonderful way to go to sleep!”

Hence, we created “Nighty Nighty News”

“Always go to sleep with a smile on your face”

Each guest has a rolled up paper tied with a ribbon on their bed with a funny quip, joke or lovely commentary about love on their bed.
It’s something that our guests always enjoy, our return guests run to the bed to unwrap the moment they arrive, and even the grumpiest of guests can be soothed by puting a smile on their face.

Laughter…a wonderful relief, medicine and the joy that fills our lives and makes them complete! Don’t let a day go by without having a good belly laugh. I don’t!

And thanks, Sandra, for the wonderful inspiration!

Happy Innkeeping everyone!
