The one fro Buffalo came two days early (Thursday the 17th instead of Saturday) and stayed the full week. It was lovely hosting them.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992626996077874832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-48719279757636062172022-11-27T23:34:08.191-05:002022-11-27T23:34:08.191-05:00Bill and I went a few years ago, too.

It gives a lot of history and behind the scenes details about the running of the place - - with a fictional love story thrown in as a bonus. At the end of the book, she tells what parts are fiction or fictional characters based on the daily running of the house. Those are the kinds of audio books I download on my phone through our public library. I listen to them while doing housework. In addition to learning some new things, it also makes the mundane repetitive chores pass quicker and not seem as boring.<br />Guess I should just be thankful for health and energy to do those things - - right?!!Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-11700479893539461482022-11-27T22:06:55.260-05:002022-11-27T22:06:55.260-05:00The Biltmore looks like a fun place to visit.
