There have been lots of inquiries ’bout the hammocks and swings lately – probably a spring thing. The fine folks at the Hammock Company are offering our guests a 20% discount on all their great stuff. Check them out and when you find what you need/want type in this secret code EDEN20 for your discount. Just like the old days when the prize in a box of Cracker Jacks was real. Oh yea, don’t get […]
Michael Doucet (of Beausoleil fame) and friend Michael Pillot dropped by this week for a visit and a nice surprise it was. The Mr. D. & Mr. P. were on the Prairie Home Companion cruise bopping around the Caribbean and had a small layover in Key West. I hadn’t seen Michael D. since the band stayed with us many years ago. He broke his leg and is on crutches – though you should have seen him […]
I have been getting lots of comments and inquirers about my ‘moon boots’ lately. They are actually MBT’s and I get them from footwearetc.com They are amazing for old legs (ankles and feet too) like mine. If anyone has a pair, don’t throw them away when the soles wear out. You can get them replaced for $65 (soles and the foam cushion) and they pay for the return shipping. I have had my oldest pair for […]
Is anyone else as ticked off with Toyota as I am? I had a ’79 truck and liked it. I now have a 2006 Avalon and like it too. Every time I call the dealership and inquire as to when they plan to do the recall on my car, I am told that I will get a letter in the mail. Supposedly they have fixed the unsold cars on the lot and the rest of […]
John Frinzi, Jim Morris and Sunny Jim stopped by and played a couple happy hours a few weeks past and it don’t get any better than that. The guests got their socks blown off having had no idea that the happy minstrels were stopping by. Elizabeth and Brady were swaying to the beat and she said the crowd had a ball. Well to make a long story short check out the boys by the pool. […]
Thanks for all the votes!!!!! Well we are standing strong at 26%. There are still a few more days left to vote so if you have not yet please do Glee Green Living awards. The staff and I have worked very hard for the past few years to try and make Eden House a green hotel. I am sure you are aware of the many changes you see in the rooms but also behind the […]
Did anyone check the Farmer’s Almanac? This poop is for the birds. I know, here I am whining and you guys are up to your chins in show. I just feel so bad for our guests – we don’t have any heat. We have bumped the pool up to 89 degrees and the spa to 101 but the guests can only drink so much hot chocolate and booze. It is starting to feel like The […]
The Eden House online store is up and running. Who would have thunk it? We are starting to go back and reproduce t-shirts from thirty years ago. I have been planning to do this for the past decade. My how time slips away. Also working on getting copies of some photos of the property taken during the filming of Criss Cross. Henrietta’s world famous Coconut Strips, regular and key lime, will also be available. My […]
Now that the Eden House ‘Regulaaaars’ giveaway has ended, it is time to put the finishing touches on the Texas giveaway. That’s right – for a seven and a four night stays at the beautiful Angel’s Nest. We have gotten some a pretty good response but it could be better. Don’t blame it on the economy – it is just a stamp and postcard. If you win, you can go to the Dr. Pepper bottling […]
Ambrosia is back and they are better than ever. You might remember them when they were on Virginia St many years ago. They call themselves a sushi restaurant – sake bar. I think they are much more. I especially like the edamame to kick things off. The avocado spring mix salad is delicious, huge to boot not to mention great price. Numerous rolls to choose from but one warning – steer clear of the tempura. […]
Ronny Elliott and lovely new wife, Dawn were down over Fantasy Fest week. Ronny is a great musician and needless to say, we have talked music for years. I never tire of hearing him tell stories about artists that he has performed with or folks in the industry. On this visit Ronny turned me onto an amazing musician, Dan Reeder, who is on John Prine’s label, Oh Boy! Records. Do yourself a favor and check […]
My daughter Jessica and Tyler Lockwood got married at the Eden House this past December and it was amazing. I couldn’t have imagined that it could be so wonderful, cosmic and refreshing all at the same time. It was a year in the planning……..that Dylan quote comes back to mind. We’re all glad it’s over and wouldn’t change a thing. Then again, Ernie Banks use to say, “let’s play two.” It was so much fun […]
