Despite the elegance of the Hacienda we are at heart intrepid mountain folk. Yep, we are proud to be self sufficient and creative.

Last month we turned our efforts to:

Recipes for our hens every increasing production (egg nog with a New Mexico Bed and Breakfast twist)

Devising a quickie snow plow for the Bobcat (no luck yet, any ideas?)
fixing that thing in the guestroom that made that sound (you do not need to know)

Thinking up off season marketing ideas and fun promotions

    We thought we would do a little contest, see if our guests were thinking of us and what they were thinking. Brian was confident that you all were happy and were thinking good thoughts so…

    We sent out an email blast and we offered a free Two Night get away, winner to be drawn on Jan 1, 2010 from those posting a review on TripAdvisor.com and/or BedandBreakfast.com by Dec 31, 2009.

    Marina included a few that she was told about but that have not posted yet to TripAdvisor.com (we know they take a long time to process and post those submissions).

    We wrote your names on slips of recycled paper, the backs of our Christmas cards.
    Adults grabbed mugs of Hot Buttered Rum (thanks Amy and Brandon for the great recipe!) and kids got Cocoa and headed out to the snowy courtyard.

    We tossed the names into a slightly sticky Christmas cookie tin, sang a last rousing chorus of “Rudolph” with the kids, reached in and… drum roll please…

    We are thrilled to announce that Sarah and Robert L. of Geneva IL are the winners!

    To all the rest of you, there is a little something in your account for your next visit to the mountain.

    From all of us…Brian, Marina, Jessie, Anna, Max, Anne and of course DayZ,

    Happy New Year

    Looking forward to your replies...
