Holidays are in sight.

Cooler weather is upon us!  A welcoming rain restores green to our lawns and blooms to the fall garden.  Tricks and Treats, a new moon and the Fall Classic – Go Rangers! - bring an end to October and a start to the holidays.  Here at the Inn that means we are busy, busy, busy with preparations.  In just a few short weeks, family will gather to share food, thanks for a year of blessings and maybe a little football or a boy named Charlie Brown.  Oh, but also, we unpack the bulbs, the tinsel, the countless strings of lights, the stockings, the trees (all five), the Christmas village, the nutcracker and all the decorations which will adorn the house ‘til that twelfth day passes once again.  What a sight to see!  No, really!  Come stay with us, you have to see for yourself!

Okay, if you can’t wait ‘til after Thanksgiving to stay with us, plan an early November trip and take in a show at The Palace Theater in Corsicana.  Showing four nights beginning November 10th, “The King and I” will be presented by The Warehouse Living Arts Center.  Rogers and Hammerstein’s adaptation of Anna and the King of Siam is a wonderful way to enjoy a relaxing weekend at the Inn and humorous entertainment in downtown Corsicana.  Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!

Whatever you do to commence your holiday season, the proprietors of the Inn at Blooming Grove wish all the happiness, all the warmth and all the safety for you and all you hold dear.  Happy Holidays!!

Just beautiful.

Just thought we'd share some pictures of recent "visitors" at our place...
 

In the midst of this drought (which I don't really want to think about anymore...at least not for now), we've been thrilled here at the Inn at Blooming Grove to see so many beautiful flowers. It's heartening to see just how resilient Mother Nature can be, and how she produces such joy with so little encouragement.

Ex-Student Association Members - Welcome!

One of the things dear to us as residents of Blooming Grove is the annual meeting of the Ex-Student Association Members. Although we didn't grow up here, it's such a joy for us to meet and learn about people we've heard our friends and neighbors talk about, and to hear stories of the important difference a former student made in this town.

Each year in October, these folks gather to re-acquaint themselves, to take care of a little business, and to honor each other as well as former teachers from the area. The festivities are quite a happening in town, and we enjoy watching the gathering.

We also like to offer a discount to any ex-student who will be in town for the weekend. Give us a call to book, or book online and use the coupon code 1025REN. Be sure, if you book online, to tell us your class year in the "Special Occasion" box.


We're looking forward to seeing you all here in a couple weeks.
