Wimberley, Texas: A Wine Country Bed and Breakfast Inn That Cultivates Reconnection
Mike Schneider of the Blair House Inn Bed and Breakfast in Wimberley, TX told me that he endeavors to create a space for loved-ones to bond. The inn's facilities are designed to allow guests to be separate from the whole. This serves to create a healthy relationship for visitors and encourages the exchange of thoughts and feelings so couples are able to reconnect. Mothers bring their daughters to Blair House for getaways; Fathers bring their sons. Young professionals come for a reprieve from stressful jobs. Military couples seek quiet time and spend a lot of moments just cocooning; just being by themselves. Older couples visit to find the magic and rekindle the passion that brought them together in the first place.
When life gets stressful or overwhelming, sometimes the best thing to do is to take a little time out. Visiting a bed and breakfast inn can often bring solace, and leads to a rejuvenated mind, body and spirit. Imagine stepping away from the hustle and bustle of daily living to relax in places that exude peace and quiet.
Consider taking a trip to a place you've never explored before. The village of Wimberley, in the Texas hill country, is an area reputed to provide their visitors with plenty of space to be by themselves. Breathtaking rolling landscapes, pastures, horses set against hill views, acres of woods, farms, orchards and vineyards are some of the things you might see. Many writers have been inspired by these surroundings and musicians have composed beautiful music. If this option seems a bit remote, don't fret. Many activities are available in the area, including shopping, performing arts, galleries, hiking, culinary classes, wine tasting, biking, tennis, golf and walking. Wimberley is near water, which makes activities available such as fishing, kayaking, swimming and water sports. Sightseeing, tours, spa treatments, restaurant reservations and activities can usually be booked and taken care of by the innkeeper.
When the trip is over, return to your daily life with renewed enthusiasm and inspiration; ready to take on challenges.
Rest and recuperate with loved-ones in landscapes that are idyllic and serene, with views you will never forget. Listen to the flow of rushing waters, watch for raptors soaring overhead; gather flowers and berries with your family, sip a cool beverage while relaxing on a porch swing, read on a bench warmed by the sun, or make smores over a campfire. There are many ways to experience contentment at a B & B inn. You will feel the urge to capture the essence in writing, on guitar, or with paint and brush.
One of the things important to most B & B innkeepers is the opportunity is to be of service to the hearts, minds and souls of their guests. Their goal is to create an environment for people to come and find peace. "We take someone who has a good spirit and we lift it up," remarks Mike Schneider, owner of the Blair House Inn Bed and Breakfast in Wimberley, TX. "We provide a nice atmosphere for guests that allows their individual spirit to soar."
Operating a successful B & B involves more than being a business owner. Innkeepers provide an ambiance that can reawaken a person, enabling them to find some semblance of themselves in a busy world. Most innkeepers live and work at the establishment. The lodgers who visit them are called to be a part of their lives. In many cases, innkeepers are gifted with someone else's confidentiality. Innkeepers have learned some very good lessons from their guests: when they should talk, when they need to listen, and when to get out of the way.
Some innkeepers are so sensitive, and compassionate, they are able to provide a setting for people to unburden themselves. Not only are these innkeepers empathetic, they love to talk to people, and have the sensitivity to engage people. Innkeepers understand how to reach a level of communication, which makes their lodgers feel comfortable. Without hovering or being intrusive, innkeepers possess the uncanny art of knowing how to ask open-ended questions.
Persons with incredible despondency can be transformed in a matter of days. For whatever they need - healing, growing or understanding, a charming bed and breakfast inn can be a place where people go to recuperate, restore, renew, and reconnect with their loved-ones. All it takes is a unique combination of gorgeous nature and an innkeeper's sense of attention to wellbeing.
A young couple arrived at a B & B inn in a state of grief. The innkeeper made their room cozy and nice. There were flowers in the room. The lights were dimmed with soft, soothing music. Candles were twinkling; down pillows were fluffed; the fireplace was lit and bath salts were placed inside. A massage appointment was arranged, and a picnic was provided. At the end of their stay, the stricken couple felt peaceful, inside and out. The visit was enormously therapeutic.
FEATURED PROPERTY: Hands down a near perfect blend of warm service, sumptuous dining, breathtaking rolling hills, and home style charm, The Blair House Inn Bed and Breakfast in Wimberley, Texas is highly recommended.

An enormous balcony offers superb views of the property -overlooking Paradise Valley and Wimberley valley, treetops, and sunsets. It contains a large bathroom and a wet bar. WiFi is included.

Rooms have expansive views of the hills and pool. All during your stay complimentary tea and beverages are available. Rooms come with a lovely bouquet of flowers and gold wrapped hazelnut chocolate. The inn is perched on top of a hill and the pool is elevated to create a view of the hills of Wimberley while swimming. The inn has a mile and a half nature trail that goes up and down hills so guests can enjoy the higher vistas of the property. The inn provides bicycles to guests who can ride to the river if they wish. Picnics are available upon request
COOKING CLASSES: The inn is known for their cooking classes. Classes include cooking demonstrations given by a cordon bleu chef. Some of the items prepared by the chef are are eggs benedict, wild mushroom gallettes, steak diane, rosemary potatoes, with haricot verts, country artesian bread, and raspberry chocolate tart with chantilly crème. Students learn how to make fresh sausage, and breakfast herb omelet (they pick their own herbs.) The class also learns how to prepare poulet Wellington, fresh vegetables with white sauce, classic French bread and chocolate crème brulee with berry coulis, escargot encroute, beef entrecot with sauce moutard, braised vegetables gratin, almond, apricot galettes with fresh-made basil infused ice crème, and eggplant, tomato and goat cheese sandwiches. The class visits a local olive farm and learns how to make fresh olive oil.
LOCATION: The location is flawless for those who want to get away and feel removed from everyday anxiety and stress, yet close to town to enjoy shopping, restaurants, wineries, and the olive oil farm.
CLEANLINESS: The inn is known to be spotless, especially the guestrooms. The gardens, with natural Texas plantings throughout, are breathtaking. The beds and herb gardens on the property are well maintained. Overall everything including the town is quite picturesque.
VALUE: Compared to a standard hotel room, this property provides a sense of town and country elegance, comfort and spaciousness.

The Best Tax Free Investment
Simply explained if you sell your home that you are living in or have lived in then the whole or part of the gain is exempt from tax. Please be reminded that irrespective of occupation the final 36 months of ownership qualify for relief.
Special provisions apply if you own two residences and if you have had periods of time when you were not in occupation.
As soon as a second property has been purchased an election should be made for it to be the principal private residence, the final 36 month period being exploited in respect of the original property in the meantime.
Relief will be available for both properties for the three year period.
Each property must be a residence so that ownership is not sufficient.
What is a dwelling house?
Not only bricks and mortar but carefully handled caravans and houseboats can qualify; basically the usual services water, electricity and telephone would need to be installed and the facts would need to support a degree of permanence and occupation as a dwelling.
The previous use of a building/structure does not affect the position as long as with caravans/boats the facts support the use as a permanent residence. Other types of converted building that would qualify would be warehouses, barns, windmills, churches, lighthouses and many others.
There is some interesting case law on what is covered by the exemption where there is a dwelling house with more than one building. Basically, the cases indicate that in reaching a decision as to which buildings are exempt you need to consider: are the small buildings secondary to a larger or main building?
Are the small buildings occupied by staff for the main house, or were they at least built for such occupation? Can it be said that they are too far away from the main house to be regarded as one unit?
The most important aspect is probably, whether overall the small buildings can be regarded as part "of the entity which, in fact, constitutes the residence of the taxpayer", and, are they within the curtilage of, and appurtenant to, the main dwelling house?
Garden or grounds?
Not only is the profit from the building exempt but so is the land on which it stands. The maximum being 0.5 of a hectare; but it must be for your own occupation and enjoyment.
So can there be any exception?
Yes, where you can show that the greater area was required for the reasonable enjoyment of your residence having regard to the size and character of the house. There are several decided cases that will make the definition clearer.
How long do I need to live there?
Lord Justice Widgery explained….."Some assumption of permanence, some degree of continuity, some expectation of continuity, is a vital factor that turns simple occupation into residence".
Sale of plot
The sale of your home is tax free if it has been your only residence. The plot including the site of the house is exempt if it does not exceed 0.5 hectares. This area can be exceeded in certain defined circumstances.
That said if you sell the house with some land and retain a "plot" which is subsequently sold; the exemption does not extend to the sale of the "plot" as it is no longer your main residence at the time the "plot" is sold.
If you get planning permission and intend to develop yourself I suggest you sell the land into a company in order to shelter the development profit at the corporation tax rate rather than at the higher rates.
The statute prohibits relief where the dwelling house was specifically purchased with the object of making a gain which would be tax free.
You could buy a house with up to 0.5 hectares of land or land on which you could build a house and later sell with the benefit of planning for another house or houses. Do not get planning permission as this indicates your future intention.
Only go for planning at the time the property is to be sold; you will need a reason for sale to show you did not have the profit from the development in mind when you purchased the property originally.
Private residence which has been let
When a property is sold which has been your only or main residence, there is an exemption available to recognise the capital gain caused by any residential letting. If the property had been let in whole or in part at any time during your ownership, tax is chargeable but relief is at hand.
Statute exempts the gain chargeable by reason of the residential letting by a further amount. The total amount of relief from tax is the exempt amount due to the period of residence and deemed residence and a further amount which is equal to the lesser of (a) the exemption due, and (b) £40,000.
The relief applies to an individual with the result that it would seem that the relief applies to you/ your husband or wife/civil partner.
Private Residence - Two Properties
Where you own two properties it is important to consider carefully which property should be the main residence and an election made accordingly.
Your main residence could well be a property in the country which does not have the same capital appreciation as a flat in London which is used as a pied-a-tare. Both being used as residences it would be wise to elect for the "greater gain" to be exempt i.e. the London flat.
This election must be made within two years of the acquisition of your second home and you can vary it at any time in favour of another property.
This could be for as little as one week. It will enable you to have three years exempt, at least, being the final three years. If you are too late to elect you could buy a third property to facilitate a timeous election. Plan carefully and act with good professional advice.
Children
When your children go to work away or to University they should have their own property even if you are called upon to stand as guarantee.
Purchase the property in your child's name and then they can receive the rent if they let out rooms to their friends, which should offset a high proportion of the mortgage repayments. Also consider whether rent a room relief is due.
Settlement residence: exemption
Where trustees dispose of a dwelling house or part of a dwelling house which has been occupied by a beneficiary under the terms of a settlement the provisions that relieve a private residence apply.
I hope that this has helped you not only to understand the statutory provisions but show you that everybody should make multiple tax free capital gains during their lifetime.

Eco Friendly Log Cabin House Plans Are Available Today
As a kid, did you ever play with Lincoln Logs? If the answer is yes, you definitely experienced hours of fun, and one reason was you did not always go by the log cabin plans that came in the box, you were using your own creativity and the ideas just flowed. The more logs you possessed, the more detailed the designs.
Now that you are an adult, you cannot wait to put your childhood concepts and designs down on paper. You knew you'd never build any other kind of home for yourself apart from your beloved Lincoln Log Cabin. Typical homes simply have no appeal to you. It is the cabin or nothing. This is the day you have always dreamed about.
Everything now-a-days is green this and eco-friendly that. It's a good thing you do not mind, since you already have decided to only use materials which come from sustainable resources which are natural, and energy efficient. Your own log cabin plan will not only blend in with the rest of the landscape, but will likely be built without any serious damage to the surrounding area.
Here are a few building suggestions with being eco-friendly in mind. Passive solar design when done properly will conserve heating and cooling resources. That means taking the time to see where the placement of windows and doors should be. The efficient usage of attic space when eave and roof ridge vents are utilized should have natural air flowing through the attic.
One of the most endearing symbols of our American history is the log cabin. There's so much charm to these rustic reminders that even Architects model their log cabin plans and designs after the past and add to them. This gives the home owner a historically inspired home, but with the modern conveniences all rolled into one excellent house.
There's another kind of plan which is used here in america and it is based on European homes from the past. These types of cottages, as the English called them, were not large nevertheless they were functional and comfy. The charm of these adorable little abodes came with the people who could build them. History and rustic ambience are together at last.
When it comes to cabin plans it is not just the one room design of long ago. We're talking about complex buildings that may be 2 stories high, along with five bedrooms, as well as four and a half bathrooms, to a small 2 story one bedroom, one lavatory. The sq footage could be from 5348 feet to 684 feet.
The designs and styles tend to be almost endless. You can have a small get-away cottage in the woods, or perhaps a home that gets pretty close to an estate, put simply a cabin to a castle with a lot of ideas in between. The only boundary is your imagination. Keep in mind your Lincoln log designs? The sky truly is the limit.

Mega quilt blocks - one block the size of a lap quilt - instructions, Patterns?
I've seen a few of these lovely quilts that have huge quilt blocks that look like 50" square or larger - that's one quilt block. I like the look and would like to try my hand at them but I can't find instructions or patterns anywhere - except for the one mega log cabin I made:

I'm afraid that if I try to enlarge a Bear Paw or Grandmas basket (for instance) that will come out all wonky and the prospect of doing the math is freaking me out - is there an easy way?
This is the size I'm looking for.
There's no reason an enlarged quilt block should come out wonky.
Just do it on graph paper starting with the approximate size you want for the whole big-block:
http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+draft+quilt+blocks+graph+paper . Then use the measurements indicated on the graph paper to create your own pieces (using separate graph paper or not --and adding 1/4 seam allowances all around each piece only at that time).
Or you can use a smaller block pattern and substitute a larger size for each pattern piece by multiplying a handy number (for example, a 2" square for a small block would become a 20" square for a large block if multiplying by ten).
You'd just avoid adding any seam allowance numbers until you've already decided on the sizes of the pieces, to keep things simple.
You could also print individual pieces for a quilt block you find online, but increase the size to 500% or whatever would give you the size you needed before printing (many of the pieces would be the same--you wouldn't have to print out the whole thing...but you would be limited to 11 x 8.5" for each piece).
Let me see if I can find some already measured...you don't say if the block should be 50" or the block plus borders will be 50" though. And of course, the number of units in the block will probably need to be easily divided--e.g., 6 x 6 units for a Flower Basket, so a total of 48" to divide easily...or a 5 patch pattern for a total of 50 " with each piece 10"... or for a Bears Paw like your new link, that has a 7 x 7 grid so 49 would be a good "final size").
ADDED LATER:
Okay, here's one for a Bear Paw that's 35" (not big enough for you, but the search word I used was MEDALLION, added to the words Bear Paw block pattern, so you might want to do searches that include that word too):

And at one site they also call them "Big Quilt Blocks" so try that search term too:

...this one is 20" square, but you could multiply by 2 or 2.5:
