Creature Comforts in the Country
If you've been keeping up with any of my blogs, you know that I generally write about the simple, easy going life on the Windmill Ranch. There's no doubt that I think it's a hidden gem, a life away from the rat race, and a getaway from the daily grind. But in truth, we do have all the creature comforts too. You know, the stuff you'd expect from a nice hotel.
For example, we have satellite TV. I watched a ton of football yesterday. Did ya see the end of the Saints/Eagles game? Great stuff. My youngest son is visiting. He watched "That's So Raven" and other younger audience stuff on one of the many childrens' channels. The boss, Marianne, nestled down last night for "Desperate Housewives." We don't have a TV in the individual quarters, but we do have a good one in the pavilion.
We also have wireless internet. You don't have to worry about missing that important email or keeping track of that pressing project. Just log-on to your laptop and find a comfortable spot to check your work. Personally, I'd recommend the front porch or pool deck at sunrise. I'd head to the back, rock patio in the afternoon.
There's also a land line w/ unlimited long distance. Don't fret over 'will I get a cell phone signal,' because you won't. Just grab one of the cordless phones, wonder and talk to check on loved ones back home.
For anyone looking for a business meeting, we have a tremendous amount of room in our pavilion with electrical outlets galore. We even have 'em outside on the front porch. Plug in and go!
If you want a country wedding, we have all the normal stuff for a sit-down reception dinner or a buffet. Don't forget our chef trained at the Culinary Institute of America and with famed Paul Prudomme. FYI, book a tent for your wedding night. (see previous blog)
The BIG HOUSE has central air and heat. The LIL' HOUSE has a unit that could cool the equator or warm Antartica. And each tent has either refrigerated air or a swamp cooler for the warmer months and wood burning stoves for the cooler times.
Come visit. You won't miss the big game, that important email or call. All the creature comforts are here. It's just the other stuff that'll make you feel like you're a million miles from the chaos and grind of daily life.
