Blue Lobster Blue in America’s Heartland

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

Oklahoma – America’s heartland is where our beloved Blue Lobster Blue made its latest appearance. Amidst sprawling prairies and endless skies a feeling of calm peaceful serenity exists, which made the presence of a tornado touching down just along the outskirts of Oklahoma City in grassy green fields all the more surreal. As the winds receded, three locals, Brandy, Chris, and Sarah unfazed by the evening’s events enjoyed a sweet yet tart taste of the Maine coast. I would like to give a special thanks to these Oklahomans for helping track the elusive blue lobster through their beautiful state. The Blue Lobster is headed west so keep your eyes open!

Contrary to popular belief Elvis can be seen throughout the great state of Tennessee however there are only two places that the legendary king of Rock and Roll was spotted with our equally elusive blue lobster blue: The Great Smoky Mountai ns and Memphis, where Blue Lobster Blue’s appearance received a jovial reception at the Full Moon Club. In addition, two local Memphis residents Tom & Isabel found there encounter with the Blue Lobster to be “refreshing tart”. So keep your eyes open because just like the king himself you never know when you’ll see…   The Mysterious Blue Lobster Blue

Monday, May 11th, 2009

The Mysterious Blue Lobster Blue has been spotted in several places across our nation’s capital: at the National Mall, The Lincoln Memorial, and the steps of the capital building, but its most notable appearance has been at the home of Paul and Laura Profeta where the spirit of love and hospitality without a doubt summoned its arrival. Surely the generosity and good nature of this couple can never be matched. As for the city of Washington D.C., it couldn’t be a more beautiful and welcoming place and we can easily see why our beloved Blue Lobster Blue has traveled here.

Just the way things should be

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

As much as we aspire to give our guests a memorable highlight, today was a perfect reminder that sometimes nothing spectacular needs to happen to make a day special, just a blend of little treasures. Mother Nature blessed us with a beautiful Spring day. I had a few quiet moments in the barn I adore. Guests who had visited us before were here shortly after we opened this morning to help us begin our season. My fabulous friend, Lani, painstakingly stocked the barn refrigerator with delicious savory and sweet delights which tempted guests to partake while sitting on the porch – just as we had envisioned. Denise happily sampled wines and Janice received compliments for the gifts in the shop. All said, it all felt just right.  And as I finished the day buying a new car, it felt really good to say “I will need Maine registration for this”. To most that wouldn’t seem significant, but for me, it was. With all the changes in my life over the past several years, I knew I had come to a point where things are just the way they should be.  Bettina
