Weather Rules the Day

♡Beautiful♡

It's that time of the year when weather rules.  It put the end to a gal's day out yesterday.  We planned on going to Frosty Hollows Open House.  Today I was to head to the Poconos with my niece Pam and visit her cousin Michelle for the weekend.  Both days were cancelled due to snow and roads.  I would have loved to see Michelle, it has been around 51 years since I have seen her.  Yes, hard to believe.  I doubt we have changed much (kidding) and of course we probably would have told each other how fabulous we still look!  Which reminds me, when someone tells me I haven't changed....does that mean I always looked like an old lady?

So in my boohoo face this morning Richard picked up on it and said.......wanna ride over to Frosty Hollow?  Could I get on my feet any faster and start throwing orders around, probably not.  Let's see, you can go check traps, then go to town and mail Gage's birthday gift out and when you get back get cleaned up.  I will do breakfast dishes, my hair and be ready when you are.  How's that for a synchronized time schedule?  Sometimes I can't stand myself with my orders!  It worked, all was done and away we went.

Frosty Hollow is an amazing business.  It doesn't feel like a business, more like walking in a friends home.  Everyone is so friendly with a great smile to back it up.
If you are "of age" (I like that better than old) you will remember Gail Jackson from Honeoye.  She and her husband Joe,  own Frosty Hollow and have built a great place.  Along with the B&B she has a variety and mercantile shop.  Beautiful displays in a renovated barn.  In the bottom is a cozy and oh so good smelling dining room with an open kitchen.  That makes it nice to carry on a pleasant conversation with Gail and her husband.  Today was open house at Frosty Hollow.  Beautiful items for the holidays for decorating along with year round items.  The best part, Gail offers many of her specialty home grown canned products.  I was amazed at how much she cans and the different varieties.  From salsas, jams, jellies, pickles and what Dick bought, pickled garlic.  I was happy he bought a jar since he has mentioned pickling some in August and never did.  Gail has a 50% off room that has some beautiful country charm to chose from.  I bought a pillow for spring at $6.00.  My deal of the month!  There is a display of hard candy,  Dick bought raspberry and root beer.  They even had sassafras!

So warm and comfy in the dining area and the smell was
wonderful.  

Frosty Hollow mercantile is tastefully done with beautiful
items for the home, very unique.  Can ya tell, I love this place ♡

We had a nice visit with Gail and Joe.  They were busy cooking and keeping the complimentary table of goodies full.  They even had samples of their homemade fudge for sale in the store.  You know it's homemade because it is that good!  They are two people that have a talent to multitask and work well together.  You might say, k can talk and stir the pot at the same time.  Food.......of course I knew what I wanted to try because in the Frosty Hollow add it said, rice pudding and mulled cider.  Rice pudding for me, best ever and I have had plenty in my lifetime.  This was a completely different texture, creamy, fluffy and oh so just right with the flavourings.  I told Gail and she gave credit to her husband, she said she has finally let him make rather than just stir the pot.  They have a great sense of humor,  if you are going to work shoulder to shoulder it better be good.  Proof of their special talents, they have built a successful business and been in business for years.  The first time I went was 1965 and it was just the farm house.  Many more buildings now and they out grew the farm house, on they went to the big barn.  Beautiful work!

Such a nice touch, even the bag for my purchases
made me smile!

One of the things Gail said that I liked and runs true to how I feel when we take time to get off the beaten path in our travels....."everyone and everything has a story."  We just need to take time and opportunity to listen.  So, if you know someone looking for a unique, filled with country charm and most likely the best cooking send them to Frosty Hollow B&B, they will thank you for sure.  If you are looking for special gifts from the heart Frosty Hollow can satisfy your shopping needs.  I just can't say enough about the great time we had today.  Dick enjoyed being my friend for the day, or he's good at pretending.   He loves to talk,  Gail and Ken Ayers  made his day!

♡ such a great price ♡

What the hub purchased.
