SSS stay at Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center

By -
Our annual sisters' weekend has come and gone. It really wasn't long enough but we all had to get back to work and our homes.

We decided to go to Roanoke because one of us, Cathy, HAD to go to Black Dog Salvage. If you aren't familiar with them, they have a TV show on the DIY network. More to come on that visit, STAY TUNED.

My job was to review the Roanoke Hotel and Conference Center. Upon entering the parking lot, all I could say was WOW!! What a majestic building. Just look at it!



We were greeted by a gracious young lady at the front desk who checked us in and treated us to the delicious chocolate chip cookies DoubleTree is famous for. We also received a coffee mug featuring the Black Dog Salvage for signing up for the tour, of course, Cathy took the mug ;)

Our room was nice with 2 double beds, flat-screen TV, a desk , a coffee bar, and FREE Wi-Fi. Our room had a view of the front entrance where we witnessed, one evening, a young couple receiving their send off in a Rolls Royce after their wedding. That was a nice surprise.

We were given access to the Executive Lounge for the continental breakfast and appetizers in the evening. We made our way there Friday evening and happened to be the most obnoxious people in the room. Go figure, right? You had to be there. Anyway, the concierge was an older gentleman, Charlie, who was happy to serve us and thought we had the whole room laughing. I think he was being nice but he seemed to delight in the fact we came back to the lounge on Saturday evening. He wanted our email address so he could correspond with the SSS. He actually sent us a funny video to watch. He was awesome!! Everyone treated us like the royalty we think we are 🤣.

It was a grand hotel, here's a link for more information Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center

Cathy had T-shirts made for us. Thank you Cathy!! 


How long does it take to open a bottle of wine? Oh, about 20 minutes. I had bought a bottle of Middle Sister Wine to share on our trip. I used a corkscrew but it wasn't strong enough to get it out. We eventually all tried to get that dang cork out of the bottle and succeeded, FINALLY. Sweet & Sassy like the bottle said, it was DELICIOUS! We didn't drink the whole bottle. WHAT? Yep that's right we didn't but Rhonda took the rest home, just because it has Middle Sister on the bottle she thought she should take it home.

Well, that's all I have for now. I will be reviewing, later on,  the Fork in the Alley, a restaurant where we had lunch. And there will be more reviews on other things we did on our trip.

Have you ever stayed at the Roanoke Hotel? Comment below.

Keep it Sassy,

Kelly

***UPDATED 1/27/24*** I stumbled upon this Birthday Cake Box for the needy on Pinterest and thought what a fabulous idea.  It’s super quick & easy to make and donate to the food pantry/people in need.  The  Dollar Tree  and  Walmart have the  cake mixes and frosting for just over $1 and lots of paper products and inexpensive party supplies. For just under $10 you can make them for your local shelter or food pantry. Kids get a kick out of helping and it also makes a great service project for scout groups and church ministry groups. Here's what you need to make a Birthday Cake Box: 9x13 Disposable aluminum foil pan with a lid, it's helpful to have the lid for packaging and delivering purposes. 1 box of cake mix, any flavor you like  1 can of lemon-lime soda (in case the recipient doesn’t have eggs or oil) Birthday candles You can add birthday napkins, candles, a banner, etc. Did you know that you can make a delicious cake out of nothing but a box of cake mix and a can of lemo

Product Review of Nature's Nectar Coconut Water

***UPDATED 7/8/23*** Nature's Nectar Pure Coconut Water from ALDI didn't suit our fancy. We all agreed there's way to much sodium taste in the coconut water and as you get older, as we three are, we have to watch our sodium intake. As we taste-tested the water, the decision was it wasn't good to just drink but we did, however, agree that it might make a great addition to making smoothies.  How about making this delicious smoothie:  Ingredients            Coconut water, regular or flavored 2 bananas 2 mangos 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen) 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons honey Directions Fill ice trays with the coconut water and freeze until solid. Place the fruit, honey, and 12 to 14 coconut water-flavored ice cubes into a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
