I don’t mean to be rude, but I don’t work here!

Finding myself in an internet cafe at the hotel that I’m staying in, a couple of young ladies interrupted my work, asking me where my restrooms are located! It took me a moment to realize that they must have thought that since I was dressed in a business suit that I must work there! I apologized to the ladies and explained that I did not work there, and I don’t know where the restrooms are. As they walked away I had to suppress a chuckle. I hope they find what they are looking for!

Charming flowers

Guest post by Linda Bradshaw

Right before Christmas my mother decided that she wanted me to accompany her to a fantastic display up at the Shenandoah Caverns. The display was of historical parade floats, and antique
Christmas window displays from storefronts.

Having always been fascinated by things like that, I readily agreed, although I would have preferred doing it after Christmas. Nonetheless, we went up there and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the window displays. One of the things that I really appreciated was the fact that the main room of the window displays was decorated with artificial flowering wisteria hanging from garden arbors.

The effect of the flowers climbing the arbors was very effective, and it made the entire room feel charming and romantic and old fashioned. The display has inspired me to put an arbor on my “wish list” for the landscaping plans for the side yard of the house.

Where has the southern hospitality gone?

posted by:

Last night I have to travel on business to a different state about 5 hours away from home. As I check into the Sheraton Hotel that I’m staying in the desk attendent does not offer to help me, I have to ask her for help. She asks me if I’m trying to check in, and I reply “that would be nice.” I give her my name, and my credit card, and a few moments later she hands me my room key and tells me what room I have. She doesn’t ask me if I need directions to the room, so I ask her how to get to the room and she tells me directions to the elevator.

I thank you and take the key, and turn to go to the elevator. I was anticipating some kind of farewell greeting from her, something like “you’re welcome” or “have a good night” or “thank you for staying with us” or ANYTHING. Not a sound. Very surprised. If I was secret shopping, she would have flunked for sure.
