The place for small weddings and elopements 2010-03-11

Since we've finished our chapel, we are slowly becoming known as the place for small weddings and elopements in the Madison area.  Couples in southeast and south central Wisconsin are becoming aware that you don't need to travel to Vegas to get a high quality small Wedding package or an Elopement package.

Come check us out as you're making your small wedding plans, and see why the Oscar H. Hanson House B&B in Cambridge Wisconsin can take of your event.  Get more information at: http://ohhanson.com/weddings.htm

Today was Duke’s birthday. We took time off from the inn and work to attend the Wisconsin Restaurant Expo. Of course before we ever left Cambridge, Duke stopped for a large cup of coffee. Slurp! Ahhhh! Yes he really does that. Just proof how much he enjoys his coffee. At the show, food from sweet to savory was everywhere and tucked in-between was coffee, tea, lattes, cappuccino, beer, Pepsi, iced coffee, blended drinks and Nuvo, a vodka drink. Grab a cup. Chin. Chin. “Happy Birthday, Duke. Happy Birthday to me.”  Our daughter-in-law was right. Today the coffee flowed like slivo!

The Inn’s new stained glass windows were installed on Jan 6, 2010 and they are breath-taking. We ordered the windows back in October from Stain Glass Overlay in Madison and they were definitely worth the wait. The windows are now part of the parlor where guests get their first impressions of the interior décor. The predominant colors are shades of mauve, melon, orange sherbet and white frost. There is a small pastoral scene in the upper portion of the three windows that continues from one window to the next.  With a few small changes the parlor can now be easily transformed into a small chapel for intimate weddings. Beautiful!

The Night Before Christmas 2009-12-29

A package arrives from our son, Dan and his family last week. Wanting to peak, but using a lot of restraint, we carefully placed the unopened box under the tree. On Christmas day, we finally opened our parcel to find beautifully wrapped presents from Joplin, MO. One package gave explicit instructions to open on Christmas Eve. OOPs. I guess I now know where our children learned not to follow directions.

 

Anyway, we opened it first. What a treasure! It was a Hallmark recordable book, “The Night Before Christmas.” Dan, Monica and Rio took turns reading each page. Rio is a great reader and used a lot of expression while reading the story. I could see Santa come alive as we followed the story. The big finish was Mia’s, “Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!” I had tears in my eyes. How could Christmas be anymore precious!

 

Note: Marko’s part was to sit very quiet during the reading and just listen. He did great! Pretty good for a 16-month old.

On December 10, 2009, Duke Mihajlovic, Cambridge resident, Commissioner (Village Planning Committee) and owner of the Oscar H. Hanson House Bed & Breakfast received WEA Trust’s 2009 Honored Friend award. Every year the employees of WEA Trust and the Board of Directors honor a colleague for their significant personal contributions to the quality of the collective work life and in making WEA Trust a great place to work. Mihajlovic received the award for quality, cheerfulness, charity, encouragement, and other personal traits.  Personal grace is emphasized in working with others while doing one’s work.

 

The award consists of a watch inscribed with “2009 Honored Friend, Duke Mihajlovic;” a special nameplate for his workstation; and a scrapbook of testimonials and congratulatory letters.

 

Mihajlovic stated, “I was quite surprised and deeply honored to receive the award.”

This memo came from a colleague, “Congratulations Duke and thank you for all you do.” Those that know Mihajlovic know this award is well deserved.
