One of the best things about our job as innkeepers is the people we host.  Last night five couples stayed at our B&B in Emmetsburg, Iowa - many first time B&Bers.  They are on an annual golf weekend and arrived in a big red bus.  They loved our town, the golf course, the lake, the casino and the B&B, so they made reservations for the same weeekend in 2007.  We will miss this part of our life when we retire, but hope to still keep in touch with the many friends we met over the past 11 years as owners/innkeepers of The Queen Marie Victorian B&B.  We are retiring and have the B&B for sale, so one day another couple will live their dream of owning a B&B in a small midwestern town.
