How Do I Love Thee
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints …
I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life!
—and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
If you are lucky enough to share Valentine's Day with someone special don't forget how blessed you are. We have a fun suggestion.
Write a paragraph on all, or a page on one, of these topics, put it in a card... Then watch the movie
1. "It seems right now that all I've ever done in my life is making my way here to you." "Bridges of Madison Co"
2. "I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it." "City of Angels"
3. "When they ask me what I liked best, I'll say it was you." "City of Angels"
4. "I would rather be a ghost drifting by your side as a condemned soul than enter heaven without you" "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
5. "There are only four questions of value in life. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made of? What is worth living for? What is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love." "Don Juan DeMarco"
6. "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched, but are felt in the heart." "English Patient"
7. "Dancing is just a conversation between two people. Talk to me." "Hope Floats"
8. "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." ”Moulin Rouge"
9. "I love that you get cold when it's seventy degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend a day with you I can still smell your perfume on my clothes, and I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night." ”"When Harry Met Sally"

SCARY MOVIES AND GHOST STORIES
Last October the Mansion invited EVERYONE to join into a Halloween Celebration with us at a “Scary Movie All-nighter” on Halloween night.
We supplied the popcorn and drinks and everyone that came brought their favorite treat to share. Screams mixed with donuts, cookies, and candies as we spent the night watching the big screen in the parlor.
It was so much fun that we have decided to invite everyone back for a repeat. WHY LET THE KIDS HAVE ALL OF THE FUN????
Bring all of your family and friends…..and don’t forget your PJ’s and your favorite pg-13 scary movies (children are invited w/parents), we’ll have our movies.
ALL ROOMS $99.00 but please don’t scream too loud….you don’t want to wake up the ghosts!!!!
Speaking of ghosts, have you heard of the sighting of a mysterious young woman standing at a window of a room at the Mansion?
Mr and Mrs. Frazzle (name changed to protect the innocent) picked the July room for the cozy tub built into the gable of the home, and the very patriotic theme – after all even if it was their anniversary it was also the 4th of July. After they had settled in and unpacked for the evening Julie (changed to protect the innocent) and John (also changed) decided to go out for a bite to eat. When they reached the parking lot Julie wanted to find the gable on the outside of the Mansion. They walked around the side of the building looking up into the eves and finally found the gable they were looking for. There standing full in the window was a woman in a black dress with a white ruffled collar. Her hair was pulled up into a tight bun and her sad eyes were looking right at them. One moment she was there and the next she was gone.
Julie was upset…who was in their room? They returned to the front desk, and complained…
When we arrived at the July door it was still locked, and even more strange was that upon further notice, we found that the tub was too deep to stand in and be seen from the yard outside. She would have had to be floating over the tub and pressing tight against the window.
Julie and John loved their stay at the Mansion but will always remember her sad eyes.
That was our first encounter with Florence, as she waits and watches at the windows…for the return of her son.
Do you have any good Ghost stories from the Mansion? Please share them with us. I know there are some good ones.
See you on HALLOWEEN!!!
