David tends the garden, among other things. Look at the size of that pumpkin! I told you it was huge.
Probably not a rotating award. The innkeeper at Hacienda Tamarindo has a sense of humor, but not about his parking space.

The Innkeeper
"The Vagabond King: Spectacular Keighley production", Keighley News, Saturday 20th October 1951. Review of the Keighley Amateurs' production from October 1951. Includes photographs of the cast on stage (including Frank Hopkinson), and behind-the-scenes.
Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society's production of "The Vagabond King" played at the Hippodrome Theatre in Keighley for six nights (with a Saturday matinee) from Monday 15th to Saturday 20th October 1951. The musical comedy had book and lyrics by William H. Post and Brian Hooker, with music by Rudolf Friml. The KAODS production was produced and directed by Philip F. Howley, with musical director R. Lewis Scargill.
The story takes place in Paris during the fifteenth century reign of King Louis XI (Ernest Marsden). The King himself has gone undercover to the Fir Cone Tavern, a vile place with a villainous reputation, to discover what his subjects think of him. Among the taverns other customers are poet Francois Villon (Arthur Day), his mistress Huguette du Hamel (Enid Whitaker), the new object of Villon's affections (and poems), the high-born and beyond-his-reach Katherine de Vaucelles (Emilie Hargreaves), and Grand Marshal Thibaut D'Aussigny (George Park). Having spoken treacherously of the King, Villon is forced to accept a position leading the troops in defence of the city, against the invading forces of the Duke of Burgundy - a seemingly lost cause. But instead he rallies the Paris people to successfully save the city. He then uncovers a plot against the King, formulated by the Grand Marshal. Huguette sacrifices herself to save Villon, freeing Villon to be with Katherine.
Other people in the cast included Keith Marsden, Margaret Best, Mollie Spavin, A. Rosemary Ogden, Alan Petty, Jack Morrell, Frank Hopkinson, Norman Binns, Geoffrey Rundle (who played two roles), Horace Bancroft, John H. Crabtree, Gwenda Binns, Margaret Atkinson, Norman Moulding, Frank Richmond, Derek Lund and Irene Ogden.
The review says: "Principals and chorus alike have brought to life this stirring tale of revolutionary France. It had been the wish of Mr. Edward Royce, who was originally producing the piece, that it should be a great success for he has a deep affection for the Keighley society. Unfortunately Mr. Royce was taken seriously ill three weeks ago and, at extremely short notice, Mr. Philip F. Howley took over the duties. Despite this set-back the production went with a smoothness which reflected considerable study and patience on the part of the cast and great skill on the part of Mr. Howley.
"Emilie Hargreaves, playing her first part with the Keighley society, is a particularly fine vocalist. As the beautiful Katherine de Vaucelles, a lady of the King's Court, she displays a fine regal manner, and her rendering of the popular 'Only a Rose' is a treat. She is heard to good effect also in the duets 'Tomorrow' and 'Love Me Tonight' with Arthur Day, who gives an imposing study as Francois Villon, villainous leader of a band of vagabonds who later redeems himself by his patriotism. Mr. Day has absent from the cast in recent productions but he returns to display his former confidence.
"The principal comedy role is well filled by Frank Hopkinson who revels in the droll antics of Guy Taberie, boon companion to Villon. He has some scintillating dialogue with Jack Morrell as Oliver le Dain and the pair of them make an ideal comedy team. Mollie Spavin, too, who gives a really fine interpretation of the small role of Lady Mary, has one glorious scene in which she co-operates with these two fun-makers. Ernest Marsden, with many years of experience behind him, gives a convincing performance as the old tyrant, King Louis, suspicious of all his subjects. Margaret Best is sound as usual in a grand character role as the bumptious Margot, the innkeeper, and Enid Whitaker, another newcomer to the cast, gives a charming study as Huguette, Villon's mistress, who sacrifices her life for the vagabond chief."

The purple girl pirate is me. Sometimes the innkeeper "tricks" you and you get a random costume. I realy wanted to keep this one. Purple pirate shirts are acually pretty rare.

We stayed at House of 1833 bed and breakfast in Old Mystic, CT. Amazing place stuffed with antiques and art, and the innkeepers are awesome.
Aida poses Friday morning with our wonderful owner/innkeeper, (Dr.) Russell Bowie. He hates being called Dr. Bowie, he says that's what his students called him when he taught statistics and business to college students. Now, he says, he's in the "hospitality" business.

Hacienda Nicholas is an authentic adobe hacienda style house. One fine part of the inn is this large fireplace in the common room, where one has breakfast as well as evening wine & appetizers. Greg, our 'cowboy' innkeeper, is a font of knowledge on Santa Fe.
Inn at Lower Wolvercote, featuring (what else?) a fine trout dish. A "free house" because not owned by a brewery but by an independent innkeeper or publican; a favoured spot of Colin Dexter and his literary character Inspector Morse
