The Muses, under the direction of talented Deleen Davidson, is a creative artistry project, blending fine art, classical music, and creative education.  The Spring Creativity Week embraced art, music, poetry, and dance.   How appropriate to end a dynamic and creative week with a walk on the labyrinth, offering a time of centering and peace.  Thank you, Muses!

On Thursday we received a call from a guest, congratulating Lookout Point for selection in Southern Living Magazine’s “Best of the South”.  What a delightful phone call to receive!

8 Broads & Jay

As Innkeeper of Lookout Point Lakeside Inn, I was delighted to  join 8 Broads in the Kitchen.   Representing innkeepers from coast to coast, these 8 foodies share cooking tips, stories, and recipes at www.bedandbreakfastfoodie.com.  Today we are gathering in Philadelphia for a fun photo shoot.  Each of us selected a recipe from the blog for our individual shots (mine was a photos pouring Lookout Point’s famous strawberry soup).

In this photo, Jay Karen, CEO of the Professional Association of Innkeepers International  (PAII), stopped by for the photo shoot. 

I have learned so much from so much from these incredible innkeepers, and not just about food.  These wise women are passionate about innkeeping:  taking take of guests and providing hospitality above and beyond the call of duty.

 The Festival shapes the identity of Arkansas nationally and internationally.  The Festival committee views nearly 1,000 films submitted from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, and selects 100 to be viewed each year.

As an added bonus, the gardens are still lush and green.   From our Texas friends and guests, especially around the Austin area, we hear how dry and brown the earth is from the continuing drought.   That certainly isn’t the situation here on Lake Hamilton!  We’d love to see you, and hope you can get away for an end of summer trip.

Be sure to ask for the August Special.

This morning for breakfast we served strawberry fruit sundaes with chocolate syrup drizzled on top!  At our reception this afternoon we will have chocolate cookies and chocolate covered strawberries.  Our guests will return from dinner to a small chocolate bag of hearts on their door.  Chocolate kisses and M&Ms are also located throughout the inn.

Chocolate covered Wednesdays are a perfect way to heal a chocolate craving.  To cure your sweet tooth, call Kristie at the inn and reserve your room!

Our gardener, Pat, tells us that he’s actually seen a bass, at least 16 inches long, in the pond.  Who knew???

So, you’re welcome to bring your rod and reel, and fish the lazy way at Lookout Point.  Catch & release (into Lake Hamilton) OR take ‘em home.   When Ray & I created a luxury inn with lots of amenities, we did  not know just how many amenities Lookout Point Lakeside Inn would actually include!  Ha…

Katie’s brother played the guitar as Katie walked down the aisle.  The ceremony took place in the garden near the waterfall.  The couple and Analee participated in a sand union using white, black and pink sand.  The sand unity was just lovely, and the perfect touch for their wedding. 

Congratulations Katie and Joshua on your marriage!  Best wishes for a long happy life together!
