Downtown Dave’s Thought(s) For The Week
Finally some warm weather has arrived on Put in Bay.
I have a few thoughts to share this week. First thing my post is a little late this week. I had a great weekend going out Friday and Saturday watching some great music on Put in Bay. Then even at 68 I played softball on Sunday and Monday. We won our first game Monday…WooHoo. Then a great comedy show on Monday by a Put in Bay alum and a performer on Saturday night live Molly Kearney. So after a busy few days I needed a few days to recover before I shared my thoughts of the week. So that is why I am late this week.
Every week I look back and what happened since my last post and reflect a bit. As many of you know I prefer to look forward instead of looking back but looking back allows me to relive outstanding events and it also give me a chance to learn from what happened in the week prior. The past always will shape our next direction in life. It can be a new friend that you meet. It could be a new job or maybe an health issue that make you change your future.
I had a few people cancel reservations at Ashley’s Island House for this summer because of health issues. Health is 1 thing that some people take for granted. You can have all the money in the world but if you are not healthy you cannot enjoy the wealth that you have worked so hard for.
So my guests are so awesome. It is my job to create great memories for my guests. Well this past weekend was over and above. 2 years ago I walked down the aisle one of my guests in my side yard. I was honored to be asked and happy that I was an important part of her life. I now feel like a part of her family. I also had a fellow co worker stay here last weekend. It was awesome to reconnect. Now just today I had a new guest tell me that they loved that the owner of the place that they were staying at was having beers with them. (By the way it is very difficult to buy a beer for myself because it seems like my guests keep on sending me drinks) But sometimes I feel bad because I cannot spend enough time with my guests. Even tonight I had an older couple that have never been to Put in Bay and I sat on the porch and talked to them for awhile. To me having random conversations and learning about other people is what make my job so much fun. It has been 9 years that I have owned Ashley’s Island House. I tell people that maybe in 5 years that maybe I will sell but I am not sure what I would do if I sold. I think I am having to much fun to quit. That does even count the now life long friends that I have made with the business owners on the island. Well I have lots of other thoughts to share but I will save them for future posts. But for now I am happy. Is my life perfect…Nope. I have a few other things that I need to happen before I say that I am 100% happy. But I am getting pretty close. I hope to see everybody on Put in Bay sometime this summer or fall.
