I received a couple of emails before I arrived and an invitation to attend the local fireworks with Virginia and her husband. Once I arrived, Virginia showed me around to make me feel comfortable and told me where the grocery store was. There were beverages available, some complimentary and some for just a nominal charge. The studio was just as charming and comfy as the photos. There were lovely gardens and sitting area just outside the studio. Virginia and her husband were so gracious. I had the most wonderful time staying here for over a week.
