“I Never Knew I’d Have This Capacity for Love Again!”

                  –Laura

During a telephone call this morning with a new Grandmother, “Nanna” told us, when describing her new 4-month-old Granddaughter, “I never knew I’d have this capacity for love again!”  

We were so touched by her little remark, just a part of a conversation, that after hanging up from the call, we talked about how sweet and loving “Nanna’s” comment was.

That inspired us to create a special month here at the Inn to champion both Parents and Grandparents. 

So, plan ahead for April!  This is also a wonderful time of rebirth in our Gardens, the weather is great, and the world is full of promise. Make it even better: Travel here with another couple to pal around with!  (Perhaps Mom and Dad come and bring Grandparents with them!)  Another idea: Grandparents come with their Grandchildren age 14 and over!

This has been a wonderful Valentine’s season, and we are still celebrating through March, although…in March our Valentines decorations are replced with St. Patrick’s decor!
