The How Not To Bundle (EBOOK)

How Not to Run a B&B

A HUMOROUS MEMOIR

Bobby Hutchinson, a best selling Harlequin romance writer, decides to open a B&B in Vancouver, B.C.

Despite never having stayed in a B&B and knowing absolutely nothing about running one, she jumps right in. Strange people from nearby and halfway around the world arrive at her home with their stories and struggles, not to mention their baggage, psychological and otherwise.

In explaining why she opened a B&B, she says, "I was far too old for prostitution, the only other job I could think of which might net enough to pay the mortgage."

HUMOR, A LITTLE TRAGEDY AND MANY LIFE LESSONS. (But mostly humor.)

What does a hostess do when a dog rips the bathroom apart? Or gerbils reproduce in the attic?

Make wonderful breakfasts and keep on keeping on.

SURE FIRE BREAKFAST RECIPES

Lots of other recipes as well, guaranteed to turn out. And some advice that may or may not work, but what can you lose by trying?

Plus: How Not to Vanagon

A seventy-eight year old romance writer, after living alone for twenty years, re-connects with an old (younger, 65,) email writing pal, and she and Fred move in together. But living in a house with a man twenty four-seven starts to make poisoning him sound viable.

In a last ditch effort at saving the relationship and her so-called sanity, she agrees to the purchase of a Vanagon, an old Westfalia hippy van, and together they go on a long, meandering camping trip across the United States and Canada.

Each chapter is filled with humor, tragedy and many life lessons. Whoever has the mistaken idea that life for a woman is pretty much over at 80 needs to read this book.
