Breakfast today for Valentine guests was black forest waffles (chocolate) topped with raspberry syrup and whipped cream.   Fresh fruit parfait, scrambled eggs, applewood bacon, orange juice and coffee completed this romantic meal served in their suite.  Outside the weather is chilly, but inside the suites are warm and toasty.

High Speed Internet Access.......Magic words to being connected.  We have a new service - Smith Lake Broadband; fast and reliable over the air broadband internet access.  We now have a high speed Wi-Fi connection to the rest of the world at the B&B.  Smith Lake is spread out and sparsely populated (we like that); but, DSL lines are few and far between (don't like).  AT&T apparently has decided not to add DSL (only a few on the lake have it), so the choice was Satellite (Hughes or Wildblue) or internet access over power lines if you happened to have Cullman Electric power - Cullman electric is dropping their service next month.  Greg Kiker and his wife Tina returned to Smith Lake in 2006; saw a need and an opportunity, and began Smith Lake Broadband.  He is building towers around the lake that provide line of sight connections to a small antennae mounted on your house.  He has covered only a portion of the lake so far; but, he is expanding his network constantly to serve new areas.  Now is it possible for a few more folks to live in paradise and work online.
