Inn at Long Lake is closed until April 29 for (even more) improvements to the property. My dear friend, JB, from San Francisco is visiting and we are having a wonderful time.
Through our own travels around Western Maine, I am seeing the area through JB's eyes. He is a photographer and artist so we are stopping frequently to snap shots of things he finds interesting. He has said many times over: "It is beautiful here. The visual points of interest are everywhere." We stop to take images of pussy willows, or flowers, or Long Lake at daybreak. The images will ultimately find their way on the inn's website in the days ahead. Will show you these as they get processed.
JB is a great cook as well so we have been cooking in. He loves the inn kitchen for its size and equipment. I am learning some new things. Moreover, it underscores what I have said frequently: Cooking with others allows us to learn and step outside our routine in the kitchen.
It is challenging as an innkeeper to balance your personal life and your professional life. Taking time "away" (the business is never far from my heart) from the daily duties of being an innkeeper has been relaxing as he and I chat about my path with the inn.
Heading out again today and just wanted to post and wish everyone a great day.
Your Maine Innkeeper,
Keith
Naples, Maine
