The Patchwork Quilt Country Inn

I have to write this and say  that we had visits from family members that I have not seen in two years. First visit was from my brother Colin and he was up at the inn to hunt. It was a great time and was good to see him. I hope soon to see his family Tabby and the kids. The second visit was from my brother Wayne and my friend his wife  Juanita, it was also a long time sense I have seen them and we all had a good time. They where here to have a vacation and that was needed. It has been a long time that I kept in touch with family sense mom died the family just drifted apart and went in there own directions which seems to happen to alot of families. Next year I do plan on having a family Christmas here at the inn and I cant wait to see the family together again. The most I enjoyed with this family is when mom and dad where alive is that we all got together on Christmas eve and had a big dinner and after that we all sat down near a fire place and dad recorded all of the grand kids to us big kids singing Christmas songs and that feeling has been gone for a long time and to do it all again with our kids and grand kids will be the best Christmas I could ever ask for. My favorite song was by dad chest nuts roasting on a open fire and I hope that one of the brothers or my husband or my son will be willing to sing this song . More to come soon.

I want to tell you i’m sorry, but what good would that do?

It would never erase the things we’ve been through.

The things I said to you, I have to live with the fact that I wronged you.

I want to tell you I didnt mean all of that bs

It’s really you who I dream of being with

For real tho, I want you to be mine on some forever s**t

Been stuck on you ever since our first kiss

I still can’t believe you got me going like this

Now u act as if i don’t exist

So I guess this is what I’m forced to deal with

Gotta live with the fact that the guy that you loving now took the spot that

had my picture in it

With that kind of ending, this is one story I’d rather not finish

It could’ve been me that you come home to, the one at night that holds you

But you let that slip away so there’s no way that I can show you

So I guess in the end, the truth will set you free

So all I have left are only faint memories, and constant conversations

saying that she could’ve been with me

I am sorry to say that Sam and Heather will be leaving Monday Oct 12th 2009 for Maryland. They started here at the Patch in Feb when Ed &I bought this Inn.  They have come a long way when they first started, there was so much to clean and organize that when they said they where heading back to Maryland in Oct they gave me a promise that they would finish what they started and I am so happy that I had that extra help to get the Inn back up and running.  It is sad to see them go but I know in my heart they need to lead their own life. One day I know they will return to see what has been improved to the Inn and to enjoy all the hard work that they had done at the Patch. Ed and I wish them the very best on their new journey. Well I’m glad I had time to blog  and will return soon. Tammy

I am very happy to say that all the Kittens have been taken by past guests or family member. I want to thank the guest for the photos that you have sent. I know the kittens will enjoy their new families.

It has been a long time sense I have blog and I do apologize for that, I have been very busy with a lot of changes here at the B&B. I want to update you on a new family that has come. Ma ma patchwork’s  stray cat that just showed up months ago has just had her second liter as far as I know her second, The first two are Hunter Man and Pretty Boy they are now about 4 months old. The new liter has  five and at this time it is hard to tell what type of sex they are so in a few weeks I will return and blog somemore about our new family here at the Patchwork. Picture’s where taking of the birth but they will be added soon.  Tammy

I am here to update on the kitten, Which Sam named him Kangaroo. We took him to the vet to get his shots and check up Kangaroo is doing just fine. At this time he is still in the office attacking the feet or your hands while you type on the computer. Kangaroo has a knack of shut down the whole Internet and computer systems. He is so cute. I will soon be adding pic’s of kangaroo. There is a lot more to blog about and my day goes so fast that I lose track of time. I will be back soon hope to see y’all here. Tammy

The poem I am writing for Tammy for our 25th anniversary is not completed as of yet. I guess I have what is called writers block. So until I have it ready I am posting the poem “Changes” I wrote this poem when Tammy and I were going through some tough times like all married couples have. This poem is published in the book (The Colors of Life) on page 3. I hope you enjoy the poem and please feel free to comment on it.  

“Changes”

I know that people change in many different ways. And I know the changes never happen in a day.

Most people make changes over a long period of time and the changes they make never have any rhythm or rhyme.

Through out the years we’ve have changes a lot. Some of the changes were for the good but most of them were not.

The reason we make changes I do not fully understand but the consequences of them are now in our hands.

Most changes are small and do not seem like there much but when you put them all together they can kill even love.

Can people change back once it too late or is all their love just gone to waste.

Maybe it’s not all for waste if people are willing to make small positive changes along the way.

I have made mistakes and you have made some to. I have taken you for granted, as so have you.

I sit here and wonder was it even love at all or was I just here to break your fall.

I’m willing to make changes if you can make a few too so our many years of love can forever stay true.

That’s why I named this poem “Changes” and this one I have written just for you.

The poem was written on July 21st 2003 for my “Brown Eyed Girl”  Tammy
