So many of my guests, upon learning that we moved from Los Angeles to Maquoketa ask if we have any connection to Iowa. I always tell them I have a lot of dreams, and if you’re going to dream a lot then the only sky wide enough to house them is the sunshine filled skies of Iowa.
This evening, I had a guests who is staying at the B&B and also participated in our Table for Twelve Experience. When it broke that I was from California she exclaimed that she got it because she moved from Southern California and I asked her where.
She said a small town (when she was there) called Elsinore... for those of you who know, you know, those of you who don’t, I played dumb.
I asked if there was a big lake and all sorts of things, speaking in a third person account of my home town.
It was a magical moment I think all of my guests at the table will remember. She graduated High School with my dad, I called him, put him on speaker.
I guess my point is, I suppose it all depends on what your definition of a “connection,” is.
Heh - Squiers Manor, Table for Twelve.
