“A rumble of thunder had her reconsidering her plans. She ran underneath the nearest awning just as the sky opened and rain poured down.”
How do you feel about rainstorms? I love a good rainstorm.

“I decided I needed an escape, stabbed a finger at a Michigan map, and ended up here.”

Glenn and Oliver, along with their cat, Buster, run the Berth and Brekkie, a Victorian-style bed and breakfast on the shores of Clara Lake. The inn’s website promises a Full English Breakfast.
Have you ever had a Full English Breakfast? I haven’t, but I think I'd like to try it.

“Was there anything that moved more slowly than the hands of the clock during the last hour of work before a vacation?”
If you could go on a vacation anywhere, where would you go? I would go to Scotland.

A tray of delicious looking cookies
I grew up south of Pittsburgh. We had this amazing wedding tradition-a Cookie Table.
What’s your favorite cookie? I love a simple chocolate chip. If I’m willing to put in the work, my family’s cookie bar cookies are amazing.
