Truck Show – Part 3 ~ Riverwood
Riverwood – Bert & Marilyn Peel’s Bed and Breakfast and Retreat Centre – was a welcome place to return to each evening after the truck show.
We could hardly wait to get inside and relax after busy days of ministry.
If you ever travel to the Fergus/Belwood area of Ontario, Canada, and need a place to stay, we HIGHLY recommend Riverwood. Go to www.riverwoodretreatbb.com.
Len and Sue stayed in The Stable
The Chicken Coop was across the hall from us.
The Garden was another choice.
We chose The Doghouse mostly because it overlooked some of their beautiful gardens.
After getting settled in on Thursday night, Marilyn offered us tea or coffee. She and Bert (background) introduced us to the house and made us feel welcome.
Kaeilah was a delightful dog and seemed to be where ever Bert and Marilyn were.
During our stay, we also enjoyed sweet Christian fellowship. Their bed and breakfast is truly a ministry.
Each morning we woke up to the delightful scent of breakfast being prepared in the kitchen.
These beautiful napkin holders were actually small vases. On this day there were Purple Coneflowers (echinacea) in the holders.
This bouquet of Alstroemeria was the centerpiece on the breakfast table each morning.
Our first breakfast – Bacon and Egg Pie
Irish Soda Bread
The dark spots are blueberries – not chocolate chips.
Fresh Fruit
It has been a long time since we felt so pampered.
I felt like a queen – maybe even more so – because a queen is used to this kind of service. And somebody who doesn’t even know us paid the bill. That is humbling and overwhelming.
We enjoyed that Marilyn joined us for breakfast on Friday morning. Bert was off to the truck show, as he and Marilyn helped register the campers. Marilyn took her turn at the registration a bit later in the day.
