The Next Best Thing

March 28, 2016 by jansenschmidt

It’s been a busy week and I’ve been lax in getting my blog ready to post. I’ve been steadily forging through a jungle of edits on my manuscript and am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

So, in lieu of actually writing something witty and clever this week, I’ve decided to take the easy way out.

For those of you thinking of visiting the Baer House, I hope this virtual tour sways you to actually book a room. For those of you who can’t visit for awhile, enjoy this virtual tour for now, to whet your appetite for good things to come later.

For those of you who never plan on coming to Vicksburg ever, here’s what you’re missing.

Enjoy!

I’m curious to know where you all spent your spring break, Easter, etc. Leave me a comment so I can be jealous.

Until next week, stay safe and be happy.

Word of the day: Facies

Fun fact about me: I have never ever used my words of the day in a sentence.

The virtual tour is fabulous! I love all the beautiful furniture, and now I’m wondering if you play the piano for your guests in the evening around a roaring fire? It’s also super-funny that you don’t use your words of the day. When I find a funny word I like, I insist on using it, even if it’s just to get a weird reaction from people. Have a great week!

  Thanks Coleen. The funny thing about my words of the day is that I look a whole bunch of them up at once and keep a list. When I write a new word I just plug in the next word on the list, having no idea what it means by this time. I shall try to do better.
  
  I’m glad you enjoyed the tour. Maybe someday you can come see the inn for yourself. I will play the piano for you my friend. As for the fire – we have a gas one we light when it’s really cold.
  
  As always, thanks for your support.

Good luck with your rewrites! I rewrote my first chapter, AGAIN this weekend. Ha! I will work on it until it is in print.
One of these fine days, we’ll come to Vicksburg!

I could have written the first paragraph here. At least you posted something! And wow, that video is cool. I so want to get there someday.

  You know, Jennette, you’re not that far away. Get on those bikes and pay a visit. The weather is perfect right now. I’ll stock up on Mountain Dew so I’m ready for you.
  
  Thanks for visiting and hanging with me this week. I’ll do better next week.
  
  Now, back to those darn edits.

I LOVED the virtual tour. I feel like I have actually been in your beautiful inn and I would say you should never hesitate to post this. What a lovely way to share your information!

  Thanks Patricia, but that doesn’t mean you now have an excuse not to come. That was only supposed to whet your appetite.
  
  I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s not as cool as France, but . . .

Beautiful–I love that library shelving! I told my hub about your inn this morning, telling him that we will be stopping by the next time it’s near one of our road trips! 🙂 And while I know it doesn’t fit the definition of facies exactly, I love the ‘look’ of the inn.
As for spring break, we drove all the way to Key West. Our first stop was Cumberland Island in GA–my favorite part, and where I got cool pics of wild horses for my blog post. 😉
Happy writing!

  Well, Vicksburg isn’t that much farther so . . . there you go. We’ll see you soon.
  
  I saw your pictures from Cumberland Island, as usual they were fabuloso!
  
  My library is pretty cool, if I might say so myself. But, I’ll let you decide for yourself when you get here.
  
  Have a great week.
