It looks like it would be a great place for a visit.<br />As to the gift giving... I am very pleased that my children don't expect the big price tag items and usually it's books or a gift card to Panera's, etc.Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749133391349265563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-49700319400749824432010-09-17T17:27:12.858-04:002010-09-17T17:27:12.858-04:00What a shame they aren't going to keep the bea...What a shame they aren't going to keep the beautiful place as it is. I am so sad to hear that after seeing such gorgeous pictures, right up my alley. I guess the giver meant well, thought maybe you would like a little romantic getaway. But you're right, it's most important to think about what the person you're giving TO would want. I think many of us are guilty of that much of the time, giving things they think THEY would like so therefore the other person should too.Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-28318737808146622332010-09-17T17:25:43.210-04:002010-09-17T17:25:43.210-04:00A very interesting place.

Much better places than motels and hotels. I even found a couple that would all my dog Heidi. :)<br /><br />I have not been successful at gift giving in a number of years. I try to give my grandchildres heirloom type toys (without batteries) They invariable gravitate to the electric things.<br /><br />I guess I am giving what I like and not what they like.<br /><br />I have even tried to make gifts of money to charities in their name, something I would really appreciate. You can imagine how disappointed the young one are.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-89868892993994047892010-09-16T22:29:12.708-04:002010-09-16T22:29:12.708-04:00I'm drooling!

You could pop up north and buy a few things.<br /><br />@AC--I can envision you buying the perfect thing for Cuppa.<br /><br />@Liza--you certainly have your pick of marvelous scenery almost anywhere you go.<br /><br />@Carolyn--the place will be used as a wedding setting. They have a huge tent set up along the creek. The bedrooms would be available for wedding parties only.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-62268935533226224642010-09-15T10:51:18.767-04:002010-09-15T10:51:18.767-04:00It is the "art" of giving because so man...It is the "art" of giving because so many people lack the art. There are times when I receive a gift that convinces me the giver doesn't know me at all. I no longer try to understand the logic (or lack of logic) to some of the gifts I receive. I simply thank the person graciously.<br /><br />Lovely place. Is it going to be a private dwelling?NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-49334243628435928772010-09-15T08:56:19.696-04:002010-09-15T08:56:19.696-04:00What a beautiful place.

Of course, we live on the Monterey Bay and our options for great places to stay are unlimited. We have to balance how far we drive with how much relaxation we want. Still, it's sometimes fun to vacation right at home. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-42104398031521193702010-09-15T08:52:00.771-04:002010-09-15T08:52:00.771-04:00As a guy, I tend to see gift-giving as a function....As a guy, I tend to see gift-giving as a function. "This is an occasion, and I have thought enough of you to purchase a gift. That is about all my limited brain can deal with."<br /><br />Actually, that's not totally true. I try to do very well for my dearly beloved Cuppa, but I leave it up to her to figure what what to get everyone else.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-65916927563690332462010-09-15T06:19:05.932-04:002010-09-15T06:19:05.932-04:00Well heck... that's really rather sad, isn'...Well heck... that's really rather sad, isn't it? What a beautiful place it is and I think the furnishings are exquisite.<br /><br />I have a friend who gives the oddest gifts. Truly... every time I receive a gift from her, I know it will be something I won't use and will "regift" to someone. I tend to put a good bit of thought into gifts myself. My ex-SIL once gave me this dragonfly... oh, I don't even know what it was... looked like an ashtray to me. She was the world's worst gift giver ever.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057094040409159429noreply@blogger.com
