I had so much fun on Valentine's Day at The Crown.........We had a part in a number of special "Valentine Lunches" and that is just the sort of "special attention" we love to give!
Curt Owen brought his grandmother Beth to lunch...such a handsome young escort - they come together often...but Valentine's was really sweet of him.
Elizabeth Thacker and little 4 year old Eliza had lunch and then finished the meal with dessert AND a pot of tea...a Valentine's Tea Party! Elizabeth brings the triplets often but how precious for just "the girls" to share their pot of tea - one of the English Cottage Pots! Eliza loved the pot, even if it does drip!
Lena and her husband drove three hours or so from Aliceville, Alabama for lunch and the surprise of a dozen roses on their table when Lena sat down! What a sweet husband....they even walked the town shopping when they left The Crown! Then came back to buy Charles Chapin's painting of the Bayou that Lena loved.
Alan Jones brought three gifted Italian musicians for lunch on Saturday too! (Not a Valentine's thing of course!) The three had been playing at several local places during the week! And of course they had been to the B.B. King Museum!
I loved visiting with the wonderful family from Jackson, MS and Naples, FL who had come to visit the Museum and made reservations for The Crown! The kids were just delightful and loved our food (and I loved hearing their sweet compliments!)
Ruth Cole, Hostess at the Old Capital Museum, and a friend spent so long in the B.B. King Museum they were afraid they would miss lunch. They were going back to the Museum to finish their visit...and reminded us to send visitors to them in Jackson. (www.oldcapitolmuseum.com) There's a LOT to see in Mississippi and Southern Hospitality really is alive and well!
I've said it a million times (not a million on this blog though).....We have the nicest guests at The Crown!
