The Story of Wind Dancer
For many years I have talked about having
a B&B. I have also talked about having a Tea Room. I have
very definite ideas what each should be. I enjoy cooking for
others and having people over. I like to meet people and my
Mother will tell you that I can talk to a brick wall.
About 5 years ago I attended the Art Institution of Culinary Arts in Houston, Texas. I had a wonderful time and teachers where amazing. I also gained 10 pounds. We ate everything we cooked and more. What great fun that was. Especially the baking class, we always had hot chocolate chip cookies coming out of the oven along with fresh hot, flakey croissants. You talk about a melt in your mouth weakness. That was it, hence the 10 pounds.
With school behind me, I moved on to other things. Horses, I have always loved horses. My husband bought me a horse named Logan. That horse saved my children. He was better than any therapy I could have had. I had two teenage girls at the time that where driving me insane. I am sure that all the Grandparents just sat backed and laughed and thought finally, pay back! Anyway like children, one horse turned into two horses, and well three…I know it is hard to believe.
My children have since grown into young adults and they have left home to start lives of their own. I still have Logan and the other horses. My mother had her home, here in Hearne, Texas with 20 acres. This was the family home too. So my Mother decided to sell and move into town. (We call town College Station, not Hearne. If you go to Hearne, then you go to Hearne.) I thought with the house and all the rooms this would be a perfect place for a B&B.
So my husband and I bought the house and moved
to Hearne, Texas: horses, dogs, cats and all. We have been
here for 2 years now and I now have 3 rooms open. So I finally
got to stop talking about having a B&B and have one. Now
I get to cook and clean and get paid for it. It has been an
exciting adventure and I have met some wonderful people.
I still would like to have a Tea Room one day. Right now I am happy and content with having the B&B. I love having my horses here with me, along with all the others things that live out here. I just keep reminding myself that if my mother could do it so can I.
One last thing, the name: Wind Dancer. I am a romantic. I think that horses are the most beautiful creatures God could have bestowed upon us. To me they are majestic. Their grace and beauty are what dreams are made of. They truly dance upon the wind. I feel blessed to have but a few in my care. So the name Wind Dancer seemed appropriate.
With Warm Regards,
Denise
