Olde Stonehouse Newsletter
December 2005

2005 at the Olde Stonehouse Bed & Breakfast was a year of change and tradition.  In the last 12 months, we have continued our award winning Murder Mystery weekend packages, welcomed back a previous staff member, adopted a new inn dog, and had the opportunity to welcome back many of you for return stays.

In our family, we added a son when Becca married Tony Sutton on September 23.  The wedding was held at a lovely site, Newton-White Mansion, a Maryland State Park facility.    All the families and friends gathered from near and far to make it extra special.  After a honeymoon trip to Hawaii, they both returned to their jobs with the federal government in D.C.  With just a little bit of encouragement, we’ll share wedding pictures with you on your next visit.

Earlier in the year, we had made another addition to the family.  After being pet-free for 18 months, we adopted Daisy Dog from the Jonesboro Humane Society.  Leah was home for the summer and together she and Greg convinced me that this Bassett Hound/Chow/Mystery mix pup was just what we needed.  2 month old Daisy came to live with us in June.  She is extremely friendly and has enjoyed “greeting” many of you who have visited us recently.  We are struggling with obedience training and the fact that she will and has eaten or chewed up anything she can reach. 

Leah has had an exciting senior year at West Virginia University.  She is serving as President of her sorority Sigma Kappa.  That is proving to be a real life lesson in leadership that will be useful in future employment settings. 

Our valued and talented assistant innkeeper, Billie Reddick, moved back to the area after a short residence near her daughter’s family in Oklahoma.  We were more than delighted to have her back with us.  She is a morning person.  Many mornings, she and Greg kick off breakfast preparation while I am still trying to come to life.  Her cheerful manner and professional attitude help us offer you the best in B&B lodging available in the area. 

Murder Mystery Weekends continue to attract participants.  Any of you who have played a character know how much fun this activity is.  Even with lots of clues, it’s a challenge to correctly solve the mystery.  This year, we added 2 new mystery scripts.  Now, we rotate Cheers for the Bride (all female), Mobster Murders, Wine Auction, Pasta Hits the Fan, and Herb Garden as the story for the mystery.  Mysteries are offered on selected weekends or as a private party.

We invite you to visit us this winter.  To encourage you, we have made a seasonal adjustment to our room rates.  Through May 1, your choice of rooms in the Main Street facility is $69, a savings of $20 - $30 per night.  Suites are offered at $119.  With the opening of the truck route, we are enjoying a much quieter Main Street. 

Come and sit on the front porch with us. God Bless!

Greg and JaNoel Bess & Daisy
