From Start to Finish





Hi All... it's Alicia and it looks like gardening season has begun so Sue is abandoning the blog and I am back. As you can see I had a little helper today as the first Strawberry Rhubarb Pie of the season has been made. I had to hurry up and make something as we have 16 of 18 possible people for Dinner tonight. Lots of Lobster and Filet's will be flying around the Kitchen tonight.

We had a fabulous April, occupancy was up 30% from last year. We rented the Harpswell Room, the largest and most expensive, 90% of the month. As it stands our first Sat night opening for any room is June 26th. People are so excited to stay here we even have 47 rooms nights already booked for 2011. So if you are a procrastinator and want to stay here you may be out of luck.

Lots of new Restaurants opening on Maine St. in Brunswick. I sent some room guests to the Byrnes Irish Pub,last night, they had a great time and said there was even Live Music. We are taking a "Field Trip" this week to the newly restored Captain Daniel Stone Inn and Restaurant in Brunswick. Then over to the Quahog Bay Inn off Rt 24 in Harpswell, so there will be much to report next week. Now I must head to the kitchen and tackle Dinner.

Happy Mother's Day to all !!
