I just took a look at the Blog and didn't want any of you to think that Sue dropped off the face of the earth or that we had done anything to her since there hasn't been a post since we closed. I am sure that she is busy plotting her flower seed order or making plans for a new flower bed.
I actually do know for a fact that she is still alive because we, Matt, Aimee the boys and I all met at
Cooks Lobster House for the Annual Harpswell Home Heating Oil Dinner and Auction. They had a full house and many Auction items for a great cause. I know one person who religiously sits next to the bid sheet for the Log Cabin to make sure they win, and she did! Three years in a row. The Boys are very funny, they usually pick one thing every year and also guard it. They don't even let anyone else near the sheet.
It is hard to believe we have been closed almost a month now. Where does the time go? Projects at the Inn have started. The West Shore House is booked for 2 months Dec15-Feb15th. There is also many dates available in the Spring and Summer.
The Town is thrilled to have the Cribstone Bridge receive an Honor from the Maine Preservation this week. It was constructed in 1928 it is the only one of its kind in the country, made of strictly granite. It is also a Civil Engineering Landmark. In 2007 the DOT made the decision to rehab and restore the bridge. The preservation took 3 years. I for one am greatfull. Not only did they widen it slightly they added a better sidewalk. Plus I also got some of the old granite for my house and used it on our front walk way. Next time you visit Bailey Island get out and walk along the beach area there and check out this one of a kind marvel.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. I am Thankful for my family
