Ok, ok; I know it’s been forever since I’ve added to this. Blame it on Christmas, New Years, the depression of cabin fever these last few months or the broken ankle I suffered a month ago today. I procrastinated and I apologize profusely!

With that rambling spewed forth, you pretty much have the past few months in a nutshell, but I will fill in some blanks for you. Over the time passed in silence, we have made some plans and changes to Meadowood!

We are now a completely pet friendly inn, welcoming our four legged friends to enjoy the clean air, water and peaceful surroundings. We are also in the midst of some renovations here- namely the living room which is in progress where I am repainting to prepare for new carpeting and furniture. We’re working on redesigning the layout as well in the relocation of the big screen TV and replacing the woodstove with a fireplace insert for a more visually inviting source of warmth on cold days.

Two other projects are the retaining wall out front that is waiting to be made into a patio and barbecue area as soon as my ankle can stand that much strain; I don’t think it will be long since I just made my second bike ride today. The project next in line after the patio is the chicken moat/garden area where we will be getting all of our eggs fresh daily.

That brings me to another project: the blue ridge biking site that I have been designing. I plan to put a barebones version of the site up soon, but the basic focus of the site will be to offer parkway-centric information to the level of detail that bicyclist need and therefore all the info that anyone traveling the BRP could want. I’ll post the address here when I have the basic shell up, or you can email me at quidotaw@gmail.com if you would like more info. I will also be looking for submissions from Blue Ridge travelers of all types if you would like to place content.

Well, that is all for this day, stay well!
