The name of our guest room comes from Anne of Green Gables, when Aunt Josephine tells Anne, “If you come to town for a visit, I will put you up in my very sparest of spare rooms.”

I’ve been getting our spare room ready for my friend Kristy coming this weekend!  I think it would be so fun to run a bed and breakfast someday, so I look at times like these as great opportunities to practice.  Here is what our spare room is looking like this fall!

And for those of you who are curious, here is our menu for the long weekend!
