Mister Binx is the perfect cat for us! He isn't ours but spends the majority of his day greeting guests, hanging out and patrolling our yard. #notourcat #misterbinx #swantowninn #hospitality #swantowninn #olympiawa #bedandbreakfast #olympiawashington

Got a freeze advisory. Brought all our pots and baskets in and harvested the last of our dahlia blooms. Also put on the storm windows instead of screens. Winter is coming. Before Halloween?

We checked what chatGPT thinks of us. Quite accurate and nice.

"The Swantown Inn is a charming Victorian bed and breakfast located near downtown Olympia, Washington. It features beautifully decorated rooms, each with unique decor and modern amenities, including private baths, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary breakfast.

Guests can enjoy a lovely garden, cozy common areas, and a wraparound porch, perfect for relaxing. The inn's location provides easy access to the waterfront, local parks, and attractions like the Washington State Capitol. It's known for its warm hospitality and inviting atmosphere, making it a great choice for a comfortable stay."

The wraparound porch part is wrong but even that isn't too far off.

Someone delivered a package to Bonesby White today! He was so excited, but low and behold it was a trojan horse of Halloween filled with tiny skelly demons. Bonesby dropped the box and sprinted across the parking lot demons in tow. They swarmed him as he tried to climb onto the porch roof. Poor Bonesby. I wonder who sent the package. #halloween #skelly #swantowninnbedandbreakfast
