Need to borrow something? Just ask, chances are we have it. Here are some of the impromptu items guests have recently borrowed:

* A cooler for a picnic jaunt out to the plantations

* Folding chairs for Jazz in the Park

* A backpack & some zip-lock bags

* A seam ripper to open a suit pocket

* Tupperware

* Insect repellent

* Umbrellas

Unlike the good folks who run hotels, we live here, and we are happy to share. There's no need to run out to the store and buy something you need just for a few days. Spend more of your time and money having fun!
