Three Roses Bed and Breakfast

Three Roses Bed and Breakfast is owned and operated by David and Sharon Hansen. David works full time so the daily
operation of the bed and breakfast is Sharon's job. David is her "handyman". They have been married for over 8 years.

Sharon's 3 grown daughters were the inspiration for the name "Three Roses Bed & Breakfast". Sharon says her daughters
are like roses, each is beautiful in her own way, but different. Three of the guest rooms are named after the girls: Jennifer,
Monica and Marcia. Sharon's china pattern is "Old Country Roses" so fits in very well with the theme of the bed and
breakfast.

A former registered nurse, Sharon doesn't like to travel, loves having company, and loves to feed people so a bed and
breakfast is just about the perfect job for her. She enjoys making others' travels more like home but with her doing the work.

There is one cat in the Hansen household. The cat, "Miss Kitty" stays in the basement. (A highly allergic guest states she
cannot tell there is a cat in the house.) "Miss Kitty" likes to tear up the furniture, so she doesn't get to come upstairs.)

We also have a new member to the family as of October 2009, a 5 pound male Yorkie. His job is to keep Sharon company
when no one is around. He has turned out to be a very good watchdog as well. Nineteen month old Koko was a rescue so
had to lose all his hair because it was so badly matted. He's now receiving the royal treatment he should have had all along.
Sharon also rescues other Yorkies through the Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue. On occasion, we foster other Yorkies to
keep Koko company when Sharon is busy.

In her "spare" time, Sharon enjoys developing web sites. Since Sharon is not an expert, her prices are very low compared to
what others charge for the same thing. A high school friend of Sharon's helped her with the design and animation on our
new site, but Sharon maintains it. If you are needing a very complicated web site with bells and whistles, Sharon's friend is
an expert. Please don't hesitate to check her business out. She does unbelievable work! See her samples. If your budget
doesn't allow bells and whistles, contact Sharon.

Sharon is a board member of Pontiac P.R.O.U.D. as well as the Illinois Route 66 Red Carpet Corridor and is a member of the
Route 66 Association of Illinois.

Sharon has two mottoes when it comes to the operation of the bed and breakfast: "Do unto others as you would have them
do unto you" and "Always give the customer more than they pay for".
