stock full of ideas

I am a dreamer...a big picture visionary without the authority to make it possible.  Yet alas, I can write about it, I can make it legit on paper...I can live through my pen.

The latest idea....
      Hotel/Bed & Breakfast....on the outskirts of town.... this is the promised land spoke of in Genesis, where all of life began...possibly where the garden of Eden lay....we can't be sure but Genesis speaks of a river flowing through the garden that out of four rivers came, two of which are still around : the Tigris and Euphrates.... I look at a map and alas here is the outskirts of town.  So, back to the bed & breakfast....farm raised eggs, home-grown organic ingredients for the nourishment served...stable out back for horseback tours of the promised land (promised land long handed over to those who are not followers of the cross).  Papa could give the history of the land and region since his passion is history, while continuing to write the stories of the people.  Maybe a little coffee shop in conjunction with the hotel.... riding lessons for kids.... shuttle service to town and from the airport.... Job opportunity for locals: a cook, cleaning detail, shuttle driver, check-in people - one being on-site management with wife tending to garden and animals since Papa wants to be in the middle of town close to all the people.
      Local hotels do not have well built buildings with insulation....you can hear your neighbor using the restroom... so after two stays, this idea was birthed.  The rooms mainly have twin beds which is not couple-friendly.  I would want to provide privacy and comfort...a haven for the weary traveler and alas a way to contribute to society while allowing our stay there.  And yes...ultimately I just long to have horses and a garden of my own coupled with serving the community around me.   I sketched the room lay outs and decor, made a list of what to grow in the garden, pastures and horses needed.... it's always fun to hatch an idea, to scratch it out on paper, to let your mind think big...beyond yourself.  For twelve years i have lived in one idea....so it's kind of refreshing to hatch another one... so here it is to breathe a little....
