This is a continuation of my posting from the lounge titled Riding The City of New Orleans
After our train ride and dinner ( see “Riding on The City of New Orleans” in the lounge ) we went back to our Bed and Breakfast, which happens to be called Wilderness Inn. Went upstairs to our room and got ready for bed. I had purchased two pair of matching nylon Pjs from Woman Within in a light lilac color, for this evening. Lots of fun wearing the same color, ( I guess it’s some sort of “bonding thing” ). So, here we are in our night wear and snuggling in front of the TV and I hear a knock at the door. ( I’ve got 2 seconds to either “fish or cut bait”) time to fish. Open the door to meet the wife of the owner who has a question about the guest check from the dinner train. Seems I left with the receipt (their copy) in my purse and they had to get a number off of it to balance their books. The owners wife had her cell phone with her and them on the other end of the connection. I took the phone and read off the required number. All this time I’m standing there in my lilac Pjs as I’m speaking to the restaurant people. Having cleared up the confusion I hand back the phone and she whishes me a pleasant rest of the evening. DSW was totally aghast at what happened. I mentioned that it could have been worse, saying “Think something with batteries and a big smile on your face.” to which I got a nasty look, and a roll of her eyes.
Talking with them earlier in the day when I checked in I found out that they’ve owned this place since 1987 so, I guess they’ve seen it all by this time. I wasn’t too worried about any reaction, it’s just that this was, “My First Time” Now, it’s just another thing to check off my “list of things to do while Cding”
