Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful;
they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.

A Symbol for Hospitality

The pineapple has been a symbol of hospitality since the days of the early American colonies. The legend began with the sea captains of New England, who sailed among the Caribbean Islands and returned to the colonies bearing their cargo of fruits, spices, and rum.

According to the legend, the captain would spear a pineapple on a fence post outside his home to let his friends know of his safe return from the sea. The pineapple was an invitation for them to visit, share his food and drink, and listen to tales of his voyage.

As the tradition grew, colonial innkeepers added the pineapple to their signs and advertisements, and bedposts carved in the shape of a pineapple were a common sight at inns across new England. The legend has continued to the present, and frequently one sees the pineapple symbol in hotels and restaurants to signal the presence of hospitality.

The Educational Institute of the American Hotel & Motel Association has chosen the pineapple symbol of hospitality to recognize and award a property’s effort to achieve the highest levels of guest and employee satisfaction.

Between the days...

This year 2007 is coming to its end soon - it's time to look back to all that what happened to me in this last 365 days.
I'm asking myself today all the "Why's" and I've found answers in many
reasons of: "because of this and that"...

But in the end and over all it was a GOOD year for me in personal and I'm thankful for all the good stuff that happened to me
and

I hope it is the same for YOU too!

And on the other side of the street...

Flowers everywhere - Come and enjoy this little piece of paradise!

Simply White

White door and white fence at Trumann Annex - a clean and nice look. The palmtree at the door (and in the yard of course) gives a tropical touch.

Die vorherrschende Farbe hier ist "Weiss", was wiederum einen Eindruck von Sauberkeit und Geschmack wiederspiegelt. Den suedlich-tropischen "Touch" gibt die kleine Palme an der Haustuere, quasi das "Tuepchen auf dem i". Wie mag es wohl drinnen aussehen?
