This morning, I prepared a dish that I found while reading some of the blogs I follow.
(yes… I finally have a moment to read…)
This dish came from urbancamillia and her blog post
http://saigoncinnamon.wordpress.com/2013/09/28/bacon-eggs-make-over/
I started with a Maple Baked Apple and then presented my take on her dish,
Bacon and Cheese Crepe on Asparagus, topped with a Poached Egg and Hollandaise Sauce
![20130929_092835](https://virginiaplantation.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/20130929_0928351.jpg)
It was really good!
I am sorry but I didn’t get a shot of the Maple Baked Apple.
It went to the table before I could get a shot. Next time!
Thank you Urbancamillia for inspiring me today!

Today our seamstresses arrived with the Madison Master Suite’s Canopy for the Full Tester Bed!
Wow what a difference it makes for the bed!
![DSC_0001 small](https://virginiaplantation.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/dsc_0001-small.jpg)
It really makes the bed look taller than before and really dresses the suite up!

All we have left to do is add some portraits, pictures and small decor and we will have a finished room!
Thank you to Gates Antiques, most especially Mrs. Jo Gates for putting so much time into getting the details right for this suite! It looks beyond beautiful! Any President would be over joyed in staying here!

I just got an email from the Virginia Center for Architecture. They will be celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Virginia Society of the American Institute of Architects (VSAIA) in 2014. As part of the year-long recognition, the Center will be hosting an exhibition entitled “Virginia’s Favorite Architecture.” This exhibition will highlight the top 100 favorite structures in the Commonwealth of Virginia and will be selected through a general public vote.
![Back Belle Grove](https://virginiaplantation.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/20130825_182138-small.jpg)
Belle Grove Plantation at Port Conway
has been selected among the 250 structures that have been identified by Virginia architects as especially significant!
![Ext View of Porch of left wing from ground](https://virginiaplantation.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/ext-view-of-porch-of-left-wing-from-ground.jpg)
In early November, the Virginia Center for Architecture will launch a site for the general public to review the 250 structures and will give information on how to vote for your favorites! If we receive enough votes, we could be selected as one of the 100 Favorite Structures in the Commonwealth!
![IMG_3317](https://virginiaplantation.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/img_3317.jpg)
As we get closer to the launch, we will put out information on where to go and how to vote.
Please keep an eye out for this information
and help us be one of the 100 selected.
