Many of you have gotten to know our dear friend and Innkeeper Nancy over the nine years she was here and just this month we bid her farewell as she returns to her home turf of Minneapolis.  She wanted to be closer to her family, especially her first and newest granddaughter.  We will sure miss her and the warmth she brought to all our guests. 

The accompanying recipe is from Nancy, having become

one of our Inn favorites at treat time. 

On that same note, we are really pleased to introduce Deborah Ralph. 

We feel so fortunate to have  Deborah join us to oversee the reservations and all they entail.  When you meet her you too will feel her warmth and positive energy.                

Hailing from New Zealand she adds a certain dash to

our everyday language and a wonderful accent to the spoken word.  It has been an exciting Winter!
