guest book + travel log

i've noticed that our blog is part guest book, part travel log. so going along with the guest theme, here are the recent guest book entries... (many faraway friends were in town for the holidays)

friday: jason & kari from arizona, kristie & campbell from ireland, for afternoon tea

saturday: jay & jess kirkpatrick with baby kian, from indy (but we rarely see them anymore!) josh & jay recorded music while jess & i talked maternity & babies

monday: jason & kari spent new year's eve with us

tuesday: zack, gala, & solomon, from seattle, joined us for brunch & the afternoon

wednesday: my friend lauren (from nearby) joined us for dinner & stayed the night at what's fast becoming the garrels bed & breakfast

our social life seems to alternate between hyperspeed and screeching halt. living out in the country & doing solitary creative work, sometimes we don't see anyone but each other, & maybe the billett construction guys, for almost a week, even though we really DO love people! this week we had so much fun with friends, & hosting them, that we started dreaming about operating some sort of b & b, or guest house, at some point in our lives (although it's probably more fun if we don't make a business out of it, & we really just host our friends! yes!). i've already taken the dream seriously, & am experimenting daily with new meal options. this morning's experiment involved merging a stuffed french toast recipe with a bananas foster recipe. the result? delicious! wanna join us for brunch? (i think the baby likes my new love of food/cooking...)
