And So It Begins

Memorial Day Weekend – some call it the unofficial start of summer but we in the B&B business in Maine call it the start of “the Season”. For those of us located close to Bowdoin College, this is always a busy weekend because it is graduation weekend and we are filled with families celebrating this milestone for their child, grandchild, brother or sister.  But this busy full weekend also sets the tone for the next 5 months or so when our rooms are full, tourists fill the streets of Bath and the energy of our quiet town kicks up to a new level. Now some will complain they can’t get their favorite seat at Cafe Creme and parking is difficult to find but this influx brings new life and economic growth – these are good things. If makes me liven up and be prepared for whomever walks through our front door; all the wonderful people from around the world who choose to visit us and our unique, quaint New England town. What a gift that they have chosen us! So I look forward to this time and welcome each one of our guests with enthusiasm and a big thank you for coming!

Spring has Finally Sprung

Spring has finally arrived in Maine and the gardens at the B&B are proof of the warming weather and rain showers that have been gracing our area. Everyday when I go out in the morning, I see new green in the garden and Tille sees new plants to sniff and sample. I...

Where I Shop

I have talked a little about how great downtown Bath is in this blog and Amy and Mark can often be found doing their shopping at some of the great local stores.  But people often wonder where I like to shop for all things canine and I say proudly Wags-n-Whiskers also...

I Resolve to Blog More

Yes, I have made a resolution for the New Year and that is to blog more.  I grew increasingly lazy at the end of last year after the busy season and decided napping was my main purpose in life.  But it is a new year and a new me! Let me get you up to date on what has...

I am Thankful for….

I am Thankful for….

Wow the season if over - that was fast!  When we are busy, busy, busy I have very little time to blog so I apologize for the long delay.  This time of year I think of what I am thankful for and the first thing that pops into my furry head is all our great guests.  The...

Garden Update

Garden Update

The patio garden is done!  Amy and her sister who was visiting from Pennsylvania worked hard this past week and got the pots planted, mulch down and the perennials planted that Amy bought at the local garden club sale.  Tille and I were not much help but we did keep a...

A Weekend of Quilting

A Weekend of Quilting

I had the pleasure this weekend of meeting the Canoe City Quilters when they booked a quilting weekend at the B&B.  What a fun group of ladies!  Aside from the fact the lavished me (and Tille) with attention, they were just fun to hang out with on the patio while...

Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yesterday Amy posted a Facebook picture of a new cookie she baked.  As usual with food pictures she had a great response and everyone wants to know the recipe.  Of course, she volunteered me to post it in my next blog and gave me a strict deadline that I must post it...

Why Bath?

Why Bath?

Recently some of Mark's family visited who had never been here before and asked Amy and Mark "Why do people come to visit Bath?"  Granted they were visiting in the quiet season on a cold, rainy, overcast April day so maybe Bath's many charms were not as evident.  So...

Coming out of Hibernation

Coming out of Hibernation

Spring has finally arrived and it was quite a long winter here in Maine.  I spent most of that time hibernating in our living quarters and watching the world go by from my window perch.  But now the sun is out, temperatures are rising and I am enjoying hanging out on...
