Meet the Family Proprietors: Shalom House Bed & Breakfast is owned and operated by Margaret and Hank House. Skip the small stuff - Nope I didn't mean that! The small stuff is the greatest thing going!!! OUR GRANDBABY GIRL, TYLER, IS GETTING CLOSE TO HER SECOND YEAR!! WAY TO GO TYLER LEIGH HOUSE! Born September 30, 2009. Every morning she takes a ride on her gran-pappy's back in her backpack to the barn to gather eggs, check on ducks, guineas and goats. Then she feeds herself the fish food (bread) while her gran-pappy feeds the fish. We're almost totally potty trained now. The heat has been kind of bad around these parts and it has been dry. Never mind that. You can catch a breeze while you are sitting on the swing by the pond under the elm tree. The fish are biting! The ducks are laying eggs (babies soon I hope!). The waterfall is finished and has fish in the "stream". Pets Claire: Legal name: Chocleta Eclair. (Can you tell she was named by a bottomless pit teenager?) Born in Tennessee just above Chattanooga. She slept on my lap all the way home and me, Margaret, who didn't like dogs, became a chocolate addict. Angel: We just lost Angel, another chocolate treat. We got Angel on a swap. We paid $50 more for a golden retreiver named Mollly (obviously not named by Jonathan.) Molly was so stupid that the day she fell in the pond and managed to get to the crossbars under the bridge and hold on for dear life, I left her to her own devices. She was a retriever for crying out loud! Somehow she managed to retrieve enough information out of her DNA to figure out how to swim to the side of the pond and thus she rescued herself! Upon the first opportunity I got for a dog swap, I traded her for a rambunctious and not yet fully obedient chocolate lab. I got the best deal although Molly's new family thought it was great to get a dog who refused to get wet. She even got a bow in her hair and the new family's little girls were thrilled to get a pansy dog. Me, I prefer chocolate. Angel, we miss you. Nestle: Our newest addition. Nestle is half lab and half weimerarer. Her full name is Nestle Toll House. She is solid black. We got her just before Christmas for a companion for Claire. Right now she is in obedience training and is not being so cooperative. She loves being a pup in a big body. Pogo: A previous barn kitten, now he is the king of the yard. He has no tail and his robe is very soft and fluffy. He wears his royalty well. Pogo sometimes doubles as a pillow for Tyler, especially when he sneaks in the house to play. The Fowl: These fowl are called guineas. I hear they are good to eat but I have yet to find out. That's why these here are so peaceful and carefree. Of course they can make a ruckus if they are disturbed by local wildlife. So if you hear them making a fuss, how about running down to the barn to chase off the fox or whatever is bothering them. Ducks: We keep waiting on some ducklings that will survive. We had to catch a possum who was stealing the duck eggs from the nest. Now maybe we can hatch a few ducklings this summer. The Youngun's: The kids are out of the house now, except we get Tyler most every day while her mommy Keri is at work. Benji graduated in April from FSU. He was commissioned as second leuitenant the same day. Way to go Benji. But the best news is I AM GETTING A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW! We look forward to our new addition!!!! Jonathan finished his master's degree in accounting at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. He is currently in Athens, GA, selling insurance and guiding people to good investments. Keri is the new mommie. I am getting a new SON-IN-LAW. We will welcome Chance into the family in September!! Keri is doing a great job being a mommie and finding us a new son-in-law!!!!!. Kayli has departed for the south - all the way to Valdosta. She is a "Red Hot" dance team member (Youtube it) and is loving that part of her experience. There's Melanie also. She lives in Atlanta and has for about 16 years now.
