Redefining Retirement, The Pacifc Northwest

Leaving Ashland, It Was Meant to Be

September 11, 2014 by Patti 14 Comments

Although we love our 1904 classic American house – we cannot honestly say it has ever truly felt like, home.   I know, sounds odd, right?  The life of an innkeeper is so different than the so-called ordinary life; it’s a little hard to put into words.

What Will Change My Life?

September 6, 2014 by Patti 14 Comments

I just finished reading a post written by our friend, Will.  I got to the end of the last paragraph, dried my eyes and immediately emailed Will and asked him if I could publish his post on my site.  Fortunately, he said, “Yes.”

Organized Chaos

September 3, 2014 by Patti 16 Comments

It’s the title of my – our – life these days.  Organized chaos.

Here’s the thing, we actually closed escrow on the sale of Abigail’s on March 31.  Yep. It’s true.  And let no one have any doubt that I can keep a secret.  Ha!

Ashland, No Looking Back

August 27, 2014 by Patti 48 Comments

“It’s so nice to see someone who eats so much fresh food,” said the man standing in line behind me at the Costco check out. I turned, smiled, and replied, “Well, the truth of the matter is I own a B&B in Ashland and this is my weekly run.”

Dear Patti

August 20, 2014 by Patti 20 Comments

I didn’t realize it had been so long, but turns out I haven’t written a letter to myself since June 19, 2013.  My bad.  I’ve been busy.  I know, that’s not an acceptable excuse, but what can I say?  I haven’t been paying attention.  I’ll get better.

Such Simple Joys

August 15, 2014 by Patti 30 Comments

My friend, Tasha, posed the question to her Facebook group, “What did you do for fun as a child?”  For whatever reason, her question stayed with me all day.  I kept running the question through my head trying to recall childhood memories of myself at play.  I’m not sure why the question struck such a chord with me; maybe it’s because of the atrocities taking place in parts of the world – and here in the US.

What the B&B Innkeeper Won’t Tell You

August 11, 2014 by Patti 31 Comments

I think the biggest misconception about B&B’s – for people who have never stayed at a B&B, or for those who are just unaware – is that a B&B is not a hostel.  And, there are those who do not seem to understand the difference.

Cuatro Pares de Zapatos

August 3, 2014 by Patti 42 Comments

One of the best gifts ever given to me by my monkey sister – aside from lifelong unconditional love and friendship – was an invitation to visit their little piece of paradise on the shores of the Sea of Cortez, near el Cardonal, Mexico.  Okay, wait, that’s a complete lie.  We invited ourselves, they really had very little say in the matter.

A Book & A Pair of Socks

July 27, 2014 by Patti 48 Comments

The Great Southern Oregon Give-a-way has come to a close and congratulations to our winner, Betsy.  Thank you to everyone who entered – we had an incredible 595 entries!

A package arrived yesterday.  I’ve been eagerly anticipating it’s arrival.  Inside there was a book and a pair of socks.  It doesn’t take much to make me happy.  But this was not just any book, nor just any pair of socks.

White Water Rafting on the Rogue River

July 21, 2014 by Patti 20 Comments

With commands such as left forward, right back, forward two and HOLD ON! the adrenaline rush of white water rafting on the Rogue River makes for an awe-inspiring (and ridiculously fun) afternoon on the water.
