The First Hints of Spring

First it was piles of snow, now it’s warm enough that I’ve seen people going sleeveless this week! I wish the weather would make up its mind. Not that I’m complaining — I love this beautiful weather! The birds come out, and the plants seem so happy too. The sun comes in the window and makes the floor nice and warm for laying on. It’s great!

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, of course. The first little flowers will be out, the birds start singing, and people get all romantic. Early spring is so pretty here at the Groveland Hotel, and this year Valentine’s Day even comes on a Saturday — my human mom circled it on her calender. We’ve already got people reserving rooms for that weekend and getting the Valentine’s Getaway Package. I’ve heard the people talking about what an amazing deal that is, too. If you’d like to come visit me that weekend, hurry and call up so you can still get a room!

We got an email from some nice people who remembered when my dad was just a puppy and Grover was taking him for a walk. That was fun to read! Send more emails like that, we love to hear from people that have stayed here, especially fun memories. Another man came by that had an old ledger from the hotel from the 1890s when the hotel had a little store in it. You could see what people had paid for cigars and other things, and whether they’d ever paid their tab back or not. The handwriting was really fancy. The man brought old photos of when his family owned the hotel a long time ago. They were really neat!

If you have any memories about the Groveland Hotel, old or new, please let us know!
