Beautiful Bed And Breakfast Visit

Bed and Breakfast

Happy Anniversary to US!! 28 years!! 28 years?! HOW is that possible?? That’s a LOT of years! 28!? Talk about time flying. It insane to think I’ve spent 28 years married to my best friend.  Yup, it’s true… I still like him…. ahhhh I even like him enough to re-new his contract another year. (I was gonna say re-new his lease for another year but that just sounded NASTY!!)

We spent our anniversary at Jamul Haven it’s a Victorian Bed & Breakfast outside San Diego. A gift from our daughter Selena. What a CUTE! CUTE! place!!! The house is like stepping back in time. The very first phone ever to be in a home in Jamul is on the wall! Bill and Mairanne have gone to great lengths to make sure everything is as authentic as possible for the Victorian era. The house is amazing!!  Bill and Mairanne are such wonderful hostesses.  They’ve designed a wonderful, relaxing HAVEN. (It’s called Angel house) We stayed in the Celtic Room and it felt like a step back in time.

In the evening warm cookies and cold milk are sitting on the kitchen table for guests, which was just US! The whole house to ourselves!!  In the morning a full breakfast spread is set out (AMAZING breakfast!!) with fresh fruit, yogurt, breads, muffins ON TOP of the choice from the breakfast menu. I ordered the Dutch Baby Pancakes. I tried my darnedest to eat the whole thing. The pancake was THAT good!! The eggs are fresh from the chickens on site.

The chicken coop actually had my head spinning with idea’s for a play house for the grandkids!  I thought this was the greatest little house….. I took a million pictures… you know… so DH could BUILD this for the grandkids!  As I am telling DH… Build it!! Build IT NOW!! I’m taking pictures from every angle. When DH said “Ohhhhhh you better come take a picture of this! You’ll need it for the floor plans.” WELLLLLLLLLLLLL  this house will be MUCH easier to build than I originally thought?!?!?!

It’s PLASTIC?!?!? WHAT?! REALLY!?!? Ohhhhhh now I know for sure I want one of these! Even up close I didn’t see it was plastic!!
Here are a few more pictures from our stay at Jamuel Haven.

The stove?  It’s not an old stove! The top opens to a microwave and the stove is a real UPDATED MODERN stove! But it sure looks old!!
The hat box had little snacks.  How sweet is that?!?

On the desk is a diary for guests to write about their visit.  Ohhhhh can you see the claw foot tub in the corner of that picture. NOW that’s WHAT I’m talkin’ about!!!  I ADORE a claw foot tub!

Updating My SEO Because Even the Internet Needs a Good Declutter

If you’ve been poking around peanutbutterandwhine.com lately and thought, “Huh, something feels different,” congratulations. Your instincts are sharp and possibly paranormal.

I’m deep in the process of updating my SEO. Not the glamorous kind of update where confetti falls and Google personally thanks me, but the gritty, behind-the-scenes kind where old posts get dusted off, links get refreshed, and keywords are gently coaxed into behaving better. Think less makeover montage, more haunted house cleanup.

While revisiting early posts, I discovered something unsettling. Many of the original photos and videos have completely vanished. Not broken links. Not corrupted files. Gone. Poof. Into the digital ether. This can only confirm one thing: peanutbutterandwhine.com is haunted.

There is no other explanation. Sure, it could be old hosting changes, platform migrations, or me being wildly optimistic about my organizational skills a decade ago. But let’s be honest. It’s ghosts. Internet ghosts. Possibly annoyed by my early font choices.

So here I am, updating old posts with new images, clearer formatting, better internal linking, and SEO-friendly structure so Google can finally understand what I’ve been yelling into the void all these years. I’m also making sure posts connect to each other logically, like linking back to my ongoing fun stuff such as the Monthly $50 Your Way Giveaway right here:
👉 https://peanutbutterandwhine.com

Internal links help readers stick around, help search engines crawl the site, and possibly appease the spirits living in my archives.

I’m also adding relevant external links to trustworthy sources, because Google appreciates good neighbors. For example, SEO best practices straight from the pros over at Moz:

The goal isn’t to rewrite history. It’s to make sure my content is still useful, readable, and visible in a world where the internet changes faster than my craft room fills up.

If you stumble across a refreshed post, missing photos, or suspiciously improved clarity, just know it’s intentional. And if something disappears again overnight… I’ll be lighting a sage bundle and updating my alt text.

Stay tuned. The ghosts are watching. 👻
