The Cullen House ~ Miller Tree Inn

If you have ever dreamed of going to Forks, Washington someday then the Cullen House is one place you should try to stay at.  I have been to Forks myself, LOVED IT, but was not able to stay at the Cullen House, Miller Tree Inn which is a B&B.  It was named the Cullen House by the Forks Chamber of Commence.  Esme Cullen leaves messages for visitors on a message board by the front door of the inn, and the mailbox bears the Cullen name.

We are going back for Stephenie Meyer Days this September, but unfortunately once again I will not be staying at the Cullen's House.   That's ok, someday I will get my chance.

However, their blog site is a hoot and they always tell great stories about whats going on with the Inn and with Forks.  I highly recommend you check them out.   =)

There was a couple of stories I thought were very cute on their blog site and I just had to share them with you all.  It's called "Backpacking Edward visits Miller Tree Inn and more Youtube videos". 
Please click here to read the little story about pocket Edward, and see the video.  I LOVE the little video diary for sure... Right up my alley.  =)

Enjoy life, and I hope you all hold on to your dreams and make it to Forks one day! 

Also, we have more photo's of our Forks trip from last year on our facebook page if you want to check them out...

Thanks!

Boxes? Presents? A Twilighters Dream Surprise....

On Monday I had two very large boxes show up at my door.  Exciting stuff!  PRESENTS!!!  I wonder who could have sent them to me and I wonder what could be in them???

Well I kind of did know I was getting something in the mail because last week my Twi-BFF told me she had shipped my birthday presents to me, but they were "just because" presents and nothing special.  HA! 
Yeah right, nothing special!
These boxes were huge and for the life of me I could not figure out, before opening them, what she could have possible sent me. However, trust me when I say, "she shouldn't have!" 

Unfortunately, I didn't think before opening the first box, and a few of those damn styrofoam packing peanuts were able to escape my grasp before I could see what was in box number 1.  I had to battle the static electricity space invaders which were sticking to everything, including our dog.  Who managed to not only have them stuck to his entire furry body, but who I had to chase around the house with one sticking out of his mouth because he thought it was a little marshmallow treat for his tiny, little pleasure. Ugh, can we say dogie ER if he had got that thing stuck in his throat!

Anyway, with the unhealthy pseudo dog treat pulled safely from our 8 pound wanna be wolf pup, I was able to go back to retrieving my presents from there nice and tight shipping cocoons they were so loving wrapped in.  However, I soon realized these were were no ordinary gifts.  The items I had received were from Lisa's dream.....Twilighters Dream to be precise!  =)



My Twi-BFF, Lisa!

Yes my Twi-BFF is Lisa who lives in Florida, and she sent me her Bella Birthday Cake and her New Moon Tulips which she hand made for her New Moon party in 2009.  I am pretty sure my mouth dropped when I saw them for two reasons. One, I cannot believe she parted with them to begin with and two, the cake is huge, but in a good way.  Its beautiful and the details are amazing.  Lisa knows how to throw a party when someone puts that much time, effort and detail into making a party cake you can't eat.   I feel very honored to have received these as gifts!  I am very touched because we started out as two complete strangers who were "Twi-texting Pals" first, and even though we have NEVER met each other we can completely call each other very good friends now, no great Twilight BFF's for sure!

A little piece of Twilighters Dream is now in Our Twilight Corner

You most defiantly should check out Lisa's blog because she has details on how to make your own Bella cake and New Moon tulips for a Twilight party or any party for that matter your friends and family will never forget! 

These gifts are fantastic and will look awesome in Our Twilight Corner for sure.  However, I think I am going to need a way bigger Corner because I don't think the cake will fit. :/  lol

That's ok I am working on an Our Twilight Room, but shhhh don't tell my honey.  I wish I could have showed you his face when he walked in and saw the Bella cake on the counter... Ha ha    It was priceless for sure.  Priceless I tell ya, priceless!

Lisa THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR MY GIFTS!!!  They were a complete surprise and I completely love them!!!  I cannot wait to meet you in person, so we can have our very own Epic Twilight adventure! =)

I have more photo's post in Our Twilight Corner facebook page if you want to see them.  =)

Geoff Thompson makes a plea to the President of the USA - Save The View Point Inn

When we visited The View Point on 7.19.2011 we noticed the owners had posted four very large letters on the side of the Inn.  I have finally been able to really read these letters and feel you all should as well.  I attempted to blow them up as best I could for you all to read. 

This first letter is a copy of a, "Thank you for your gift", letter that Geoff Thompson, owner of TVPI, received back from President Obama after Geoff sent him a 911 call for help letter.  Geoff did not send a gift to the Obama's, so ummmm, WTF I say as well with Geoff...

This next one is a letter from Geoff and Angelo.  Its kind of a history/thank you/ sorry letter.

History of The View Point Inn

This is a great read if you are wondering how and why the Inn is so important.  I think Geoff did a great job with what he had.  Like I said in my 7.19.2011 blog post, I am not going to point fingers when it comes to the loss of TVPI and about what the owners should have done, or could have done better or instead of. 

I love the Inn and I want it saved!

History letter continues

Geoff Thompson makes a plea to the President.

Geoff makes some powerful statements in his video message to the President,  and I kind of agree with him. If the banks can get a bail out why can't this small business owner?  Why couldn't he get a loan before his dream had to burn down?   If you read his letters above I think you can get a picture of why he went so broke fighting "big brother" so to speak trying to save his dream. 

I have also posted more photo's of The View Point on our Facebook page Our Twilight Corner if you would like to see them as well.

If you would like to, please visit USBank.com to find a branch near you in order to make a donation to save TVPI.  The account is under "Save The View Point Inn" or go on line to The View Point Inn and donate to their Pay Pal account.

Thank You!
