HIP HIP HOORAY…IT’S MOTHER’S DAY!

We could write a novel, nevermind a blog post, about how AMAZING Mothers are, and since there is little chance that we will be able to do Moms everywhere justice we’ll keep it short and sweet!

Moms, of all kinds, of all shapes and forms, both young, old and everything in between…thank you for giving us your love!  You really do make the world go around.

The team at The Crossing looks forward showing our love for all of you at our sold out Mother’s Day Brunch this Sunday!  What can we say, we ♥ Moms:)

Happy Mother’s Day!

Spring Is In The Air!

At The Crossing it is hard to imagine anything better than branches heavy with fresh snow, a wood burning fire in the hearth, the scent of homemade cider in the air, and a peaceful winter calm in the river valley but there is… a wonderful spring!

Spring is a time for renewal, regrowth, and rejuvenation, and although we know that winter will likely show its affection a few more times (we are in Alberta after all), the winds of change are in the air!   There are so many great things happening at The Crossing I don’t even know where to start….

The team has been working very hard to complete a hefty list of upgrades and improvements!  The first, and soon to be completed, can be noticed immediately as you step out of your car and are welcomed by a beautiful new portico entrance and decked pathway leading right to the front door.  In addition, all new deck work has been completed connecting the Remington and Deere Houses.  We have enlarged our outdoor living space to create a more enjoyable experience for our guests.

As you venture inside you will notice many subtle, yet charming changes starting on the main floor.  Three new washrooms have been constructed where one once stood, beautiful antique furniture has been purchased and disbursed throughout the buildings including the bedrooms, a number of the ensuite bathrooms have been upgraded and retiled, new bed linens, the list goes on and on!

Not to be outdone by any of the building and aesthetic upgrades, Chef Ghanam and his team have released their Spring Menus!  I can guarantee that after one read you will be looking for multiple reasons to come out to The Crossing and feast on the culinary fare!

It has been a very busy start to 2012 and we couldn’t be happier about it!  There are so many other great things happening here at The Crossing but it wouldn’t be any fun if I spilled all the beans at once so check back next week to find out more!

 

Community Connection!

Out here at The Crossing it’s all about connection, and what better way to connect than to do so through our community!

This week the cozy main floor of Remington House played host to our friends and neighbours in what is turning out to be an annual community dinner.  It is a great way to stay connected to the community, share information, and visit with friends.  Not to mention the opportunity to show off in the kitchen, just a little bit, which no one seemed to object to!  As promised Chef Ghanam and his team prepared nothing short of a feast, which left all of us eyeing up the comfy couches post indulgence.

We were so pleased with the turn out as sometimes we don’t always get to visit as much as we would like. When you are sitting on 145 beautiful acres it is a bit of a walk to borrow a cup of sugar.

As the evening progressed tours of the buildings were provided which allowed for us to share the numerous projects and upgrades that had been completed in the past year.  I am happy to report that all of the hard work is paying off and we received glowing reviews!

It was a fantastic opportunity to break bread, share stories, and have a few laughs!  The local community means so much to The Crossing and we look forward to continuing to develope opportunities which create connection and give back.  The conversations from this dinner allow us to get a better insight into what the community needs and how we can be a part of that.

It was a great night where the hugs outnumered the handshakes and The team at The Crossing would like to thank everyone for coming; we look forward to seeing everyone again soon!
