Here’s a great article in the Broken Arrow, OK Examiner. It is a sneak peek of the cookies we’re baking, along with one of the recipes. Hope you enjoy it! (There’s an unexpected ingredient in the cookies) Still tickets available for the December 8 Sweet Treats Cookie Tour!

Here is day 2 of the new landscaping project. They have outlined the new pathway and cleaned out most of the plants. And finally….ta da!
We’ve got a lovely bench to sit in the new garden, PITA the bear has a new home along with lots of new plants to enjoy!
Here in the next few days I’ll include photos of our new landscaping in the front ‘courtyard’. It is phase 1 of our project to hopefully be completed by Spring with a whole new look including sidewalks and landscaping.
Before photo, just in case you can’t remenber.
This is Day 1 photo, all grass removed, most plants and a new freeform for the flower beds installed. The only things staying are the crepe myrtle and japanese maple trees.
Corvette Weekend was a lot of fun this year! We had 10 of the 11 rooms all driving corvettes, with one brand new one here this year. The weather wasn’t perfect, but there were over 1000 corvettes in town for the event.
We’d like to thank all of our guests who have taken the time to write reviews for us on Trip Advisor and all the other review sites. We really appreciate the effort and future guests love to hear your feedback!
