"We still have a long way to go," Carol admitted."Our delicatessen offers delicious entrees,but we'd like to expand that.
We provide health club privileges off- site,but we'd like to eventually provide our own.These are goals I hope to achieve in a few years.Our first project,however,included a renovation of our guest rooms and I'm quite proud of the results." Carol then added,"Actually there are so many possibilities.With an indoor pool area,I will eventually offer weekend get- aways throughout winter."
