Travel Tip
With
bells on!
Place Christmas type bells on your carry on, and when someone
tries to move it, you will hear. Always, when standing around or
sitting drinking coffee, keep your foot through the strap. If
someone drops something, or something happens, look at your
backpack. This may be a diversion to steal your backpack.

Being wrinkle-free, we never iron them!! We just launder
and fold them, when they are put on the bed, any wrinkles
disappear as if by magic! Other high count sheets we have
tried must be ironed as they wrinkle so badly with
laundering. These are the only high count cotton linens with
that superb quality.
They make great wedding,
birthday and anniversary gifts; a gift that "keeps on
giving"! If you use them in your own guest bedroom, you
can be sure your guests will have an unforgettable luxurious
"Night's Delight", just as you did here at the Stonewall
Jackson Inn. They will "oooh and awww" about their Night's
Delight as they sip their coffee and enjoy your breakfast
table. No one can forget the warm sensuous feeling of
slipping into bed between these silky sheets, and waking to
their warm softness. I know you remember this as an
important part of your
"Night's Delight ~
Breakfast to Remember"....The
Stonewall Jackson Experience.
Now the best part! We
can sell them at low bargain prices
Full/Double sets
are $150; Queen sets are $175; King sets $200!
Sorry, they do not make luxury sheets in twin size. While
you might be able to buy 600 count sheets for this price,
they will not have the wrinkle free quality. They come in
the following colors: White, Ivory, Light Sage, Light Blue,
and Linen. We order at the end of every month, and are
taking orders at the present time for delivery here in 3-4
weeks. So email us ASAP to get your order sent in at the
end of this month. You can pick-up your order on your next
visit, or we will ship them to you as you direct.

Did you know?
Saint Patrick was not
born in Ireland!
Saint Patrick was born
in Britain circa 389 C.E. then under Roman occupation, in a
town he called Bannavem Taberniae. Scholars speculate
that it was located in Duncbaron on the Clyde, in Cumberland
near Hadrian's Wall, or at the mouth of the Severn River.
Pirates captured Patrick at the age of sixteen during a raid
and sold him as a slave in Ireland. He escaped after six
years of servitude and, determined to convert the Irish to
Christianity, studied in the monastery on the French island
of Lerins, returning to Ireland in 431 C.E.
And now you know!

24 Jennifer Kirkland/Bert Carlson Quintet Featuring Danny
Knicely-Harrisonburg
Imagine blending the best of the sounds of Julie London, Peggy
Lee, and Rosemary Clooney, with a little Norah Jones, and,
yes, even a little Julie Andrews(!) mixed in. That's how
Jennifer Kirkland's voice has been described by one listener.
Jennifer has been performing professionally as a vocalist,
pianist, organist, dancer, actor and music director in a
variety of settings and styles since the 1970's. She lost
touch with her music for almost ten years, but since 1996 has
found a way to mix music and her "professional" life. In 2004
she released her first jazz CD "You Must Believe in Spring".

l7-21 - My Sons by Arthur Miller - Harrisonburg
The country is at war and young pilot Larry Keller is down and

details of his supposed crash and the explanation for its
occurrence unfold and reveal shocking and disturbing facts
about the Keller family, their business and their world.
Written in 1947 and inspired by a true story, Arthur Miller's
play has haunting resonance and pertinence today. All My Sons
received the New York Drama Critic's Circle Award and a Tony
Award for best play when Elia Kazan directed it on Broadway.
Its direct address of wartime ethics, American ideals and
conscience contributed to Miller's being subpoenaed to testify
before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Tickets
