Many, many years ago now all of us would have a Countdown going. The Countdown til the day we closed for the season. Having the Restaurant was so much more stressful than having the Inn ( for me anyway). By this time of year we were all ready to close the doors and say good bye til April. Today I am thinking this just can't be the last Sunday I will think about What is for Brekfast or how many rooms are checking out, or is anyone eating Dinner, did I lock the door, do we have enough desserts? What I will miss the most are my good friends I work with at the Inn and the room guests that have become family. We follow their life from year to year and they follow us. Like the sweet young couple that are staying now that came on their Honeymoon 2 years ago, now they are here again for the week and she is pregnant, already asking to come back with the baby. Also to the family spending the weekend with us celebrating their Moms 90th Birthday. To all our great friends we will think of you many, many times until we see you again. Which by the way we are 30 % full for next year so if you have your favorite room here at the Log Cabin don't let someone else take your spot.
Matt and Aimee will do their usual Winter maintenance while I spend 3 months in Florida and wait til all the hard work is done and come back. Sue of course will be monitoring the phone and the credit card machine!!! Sue will also continue to do the Blog and will hack in every once in awhile from Florida. Here are a few pictures of pumpkins from the Festival in Damriscotta. They had over 25 pumpkins each one better than the next.
Happy and Healthy to all... Alicia
