The ghosts (friendly) of the William’s House!

Sunday, January 20th, 2013

These photo’s are from Richard Flitz’s archive and a great treasure showing the original inhabitants (and our CURRENT ghosts!) of the Williams 2463_57304616820_2139_n-1 2463_57305641820_4947_n.

Richard and Chris were previous owners of the Inn and the two responsible for renovating the Inn and bringing her back to life with all of her grandness and luster!

Richard adds the following on the attached pictures:

Sallie one of our four resident ghosts. I REALLY did see her twice in the inn. This picture was taken by a guest who called us and said do not open the envelope until you call us we want to hear your reaction. Please see the next picture and look and this picture and the little girl on the far left. Sallie died at the age of 9 in the home.

Little Sallie on the beach on Amelia Island in the late 1880′s with her brothers and sisters. The little boy on the right visited many of the guest at 3:15 in the morning. The two girls in the middle Emma and Fanny were present in the house most of the time and we could hear them talking and laughing,

The Commodore’s Christmas Luncheon!

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

The “Commodores” had their annual Christmas party luncheon here with us at the Williams House.  Lots of fun and a great group of ladies!

We started out with a Fruitini (fresh fruit with an enhanced yogurt topping), a salad of fresh tender mixed greens, cranberries and mandarins with a citrus strawberry vinaigrette.  The main course was  Asparagus Quiche, Sweet Potato Souffle and our signature Chicken Casserole with its almond and celery creamy rich goodness!  Somewhere in the middle of all of this freshly baked Maple Pecan Scones were served with the heavenly coveted devonshire cream and for dessert there were rum pecan cookies, chocolate covered strawberries and pecan cranberry torte’s!

Mmmmm!  Good times!
