~~Staying at CLEMENTINE'S~~

 

 

"You use a glass mirror to see your face;  you use works of art to see your soul"          

 

George Bernard Shaw

 

 

BREAKFAST

at Clementine's ~~

 

Delicious eggs with veggies~

The tastiest pancakes in the universe~

(They had cornmeal and banana in them

and came with a thick topping of marionberry syrup )

Fresh fruit

Orange juice

and Coffee~

Dear Judith,

I had an enchanting time at your "Darlin' little Inn"

What a treasure!

Big hugs to you and Cliff and to "Chester" and the other pets~

Big hugs to Marty, Don and Mary and the other guests that weekend~

 

From Rhonda               www.clementines-bb.com

I couldn't help but notice a plethora of intriguing mirrors...

This is Judith,

the owner of CLEMENTINE'S in Astoria, Oregon...

and after watching her last weekend...I am convinced that she is part hummingbird.  ;^)

 

 

She has lovingly created this 

Victorian Inn with all of the special touches ~ 

Glorious gardens,

soft inviting beds,

antique  furnishings, 

and

delicious homecooked breakfasts.

Staying at a Bed and Breakfast Inn 

is so different from staying at a hotel...

 

You really get to know the other guests~ 

 

Everyone sits at the breakfast table together like family~

 

And what charming guests!... 

This adorable couple touched my heart and became instant friends~ 

I repeat:   such charming guests... 

;^)

The master pancake maker~ Cliff

Lingering in the kitchen is a given~~~

Of course I was intrigued with the Inn Keeper's doggy~~~

The table is set with china and fine linens~   Breakfast is served at 8:30 am

One of Judith's fresh flower bouquets~~

Perfect pancakes...!

Breakfast is as delightful as the innkeepers themselves~~~~ 

The view of the Columbia River from the balcony

The noble and adorable "CHESTER" of Clementine's~

and lights

Little touches of beauty here and there...

Hi ya sweet Deb! What is DOF? Hee hee... Such a perfect weekend YES...that mirrored photo was by chance and we both love the way it turned out! :^) I will call you because things are still a bit blurry and even though I FOCUS it doesn't seem to have much of an affect...too many nice photos not turning out as they should. There are so many buttons and gadgets and modes...However... I can see that it is a supremely wonderful camera for sure! Now to unlock the potential... HUGS and I'll call you soon!
