The door to my deluxe room is too heavy. In fact, I'm writing to you from my deluxe room at this very moment, because I haven't been able to open the door to properly check-out of my deluxe room at the suggested checkout time of 11am. I prefer to stay in deluxe rooms, because I'm a blues boy at heart and need the extra space to listen to my blues CDs while I'm traveling for business. Unfortunately, I've come down with the blues fever because I still can't open the very heavy door to my larger, more expensive deluxe room and I fear that my stay will be extended. Sadly, this isn't the first time my stay has been extended. I was once attending a blues concert at The Alley in Sanford, FL and witnessed a blues tragedy, which greatly affected my evening. The young gun guitar-slinger on stage was ferociously berated by the venue owner following some type of dispute after the show. I had been in the merchandise line to buy a new blues CD and was delayed by 10 minutes or so. I travel often for business and recreation.

So, while they may be fairly new, they've sort of got some really old fashioned things going on. They're still doing the whole credit card incidental hold thing and are making it really difficult to connect your devices. You don't see incidental holds so much anymore but they're still doing it here and it's laughable given there's no bar or restaurant or bistro or coffee shop or beer or wine or alcohol to buy. It's just an interest free loan for them. They also really don't want you connecting anything to your TV either. It's affixed to the wall so you can't tilt it to see it while you're at the desk nor can you easily reach any of the HDMI inputs. Of six devices, only two connected to the wifi login; usually they all do. So to make the Xbox work, had to force the login with the IP address on another device, then use that device's MAC address on the Xbox. Easy for me but most people would have given up and that's the idea; I think. No breakfast sandwiches on the weekends for whatever reason even though you'll pay more for your stay those days.

"Hello, Heartwood? I would like to make reservations for your Mother's Day Brunch for 9:00 a.m."…read more "How many will be in your party?" "Just me. My husband passed away in January." We went on, the two of us, talking pleasantries a bit more, stranger to stranger. I promised I would be there at 9:00 and hung up. The next morning, I was there on time and was greeted by the young woman who recognized my name. "We talked last night. You are our guest today. No charge." Stephanie said. I was dumbfounded and realized that she saw within me something I didn't realize I had revealed--that I needed to be pampered, that I was vulnerable, that I was tired, that I was worried, that I hurt. I had never alluded to any of that over the phone, but she knew. The staff regularly checked on me, the owner especially making certain I was fine, and I was. The brunch was amazing, filled with luscious entrees, a far cry from the normal Northwoods pizza-hamburger venues. I was also able to enjoy watching the young parents with their children, lining up for their eggs and shrimp and everything delightful. I am home now and soon I will be watching a movie--probably a western--that my husband would have liked. I will remember him telling me all about the lives of the actors, how this movie compared to another, how the plots developed. I will remember my folks and wish they were again enjoying the rustic comforts of the cabin. I will remember my caring son and daughter who will call later to see what mischief I have been into. And I will remember the "strangers" who crossed my path today to help point me forward into a journey of hope.
