Melinda was a very pleasant and very gracious host. She communicated well with us as we were unsure of our arrival time. Her house was beautifully decorated, parking was easy and the neighborhood was very nice, very residential. We arose early, at 6 a.m. as wee had to have an early departure. We had not had a chance to tell her this. By the time we were dressed and ready to go she had made us a great pot of coffee and set out her homemade jams and banana bread.
