A Day in the Life of an Innkeeper

What a great day! The guests here are super nice and I had a productive day, too!
Started off the day baking a Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Cinnamon-Pecan Streusel. I was pleased the guests LOVED it (it was my first recipe I did back 25 years ago in college). Our breakfast entree was Belgian Waffles with fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream.
Did some work on the tree branches that had fallen during our harsh Maine winter. Charles and Tracy (of Wild Plum down the street) loaned me a unique Japanese saw (much easier to cut branches with than a bow saw!). Hey, new effective things are good!
Then, came in and baked Cinnamon-Raisin bread and a new inn favorite--Strawberry Snickerdoodles! These cookies dusted with cinnamon-sugar are timeless and their simplicity is so welcomed in today's world.
Reservations filling in for Memorial Day Weekend and the Summer.
Our gardens, designed by my dear friend, Fay Martin, are filling in nicely and with loads of happy colors. Thanks, Fay!
See you all at the inn soon!!
