We're Back !

Wow! It's hard to believe the last time you heard from Marcello and I here at Silverhorn Lodge high atop Silverhorn Mountain, it was still 2008....December 15th to be exact. I bet you were starting to believe that we had forsaken our blog for other ventures...

Well that is partially true....we did forsake The View From Silverhorn Mountain and buggered off to a warmer climate for the winter. Yup, we took the boys and we were basking in the sun on the beach in The Dominican Republic, staying at a 5 star resort, living the high life...or at least as high a life as an aging blogger his lovely wife and his band of garden gnomes. Here is the view I saw the most often....


Needless to say, the boys loved it in the Dominican. The beach was their favorite place to spend the day, that or poolside, laying on a lounge chair, kicking back with a good book, sipping a banana mama and attracting girls to me like flies to honey.

Yup, there is nothing like a couple of garden gnomes in thong swimsuits to get the ladies attention....Marcello is a little shy, so he was dressed a little more modestly than the rest of the boys who were...well...ya had to be there....Actually, Marcello did a little better than the rest of us, instead of heading to the beach, he slept during the day and headed to the resort bar in the evenings, where he partied to dawn with some of the girls! Here is a picture of him in the Margaritaville Bar!


But all good things must come to an end...we're back, getting the Lodge in shape for the summer season. We're a little worried about the downturn in the economy, that is bound to have an affect on the tourist trade, but what can ya do? We'll probably run some specials, maybe two nights for the price of one, that kind of thing, and hope that it works....that is one of the advantages to running a fictious mountain lodge resort....business is pretty much the same regardless of the economy...
