I knew it had been a long while since my last post, but when I looked this morning and found I hadn’t written in 2 months, I was astonished! The time has certainly flown. As those of you who’ve been following us for a while will know, the fall season is our absolute busiest and we have very little time during October to do anything more than look after our guests. However, there’s no real excuse for November, especially this one as we haven’t even been away! We have been busy though; me with some Business Planning contracts and collaborating on the book, “Running a Bed & Breakfast for Dummies”, which is being written by my friend Mary White to be published in April, and Derrek doing his thing at his full-time job and acting as tour-guide for his visiting parents.
Our first real snow came last week and Fryeburg is white and looking like winter, unlike North Conway where you can still see grass! Most of us up here are hoping for good skiing weather again this season, though we’re not sure we want quite as much of the white stuff as last year. Great Glen Trails opened for the season just before Thanksgiving and Bretton Woods has about 25% of its terrain available, so the skiing has started! Other expected opening days are Cranmore – Dec 6th and Shawnee Peak – Dec 13th.
The next big event here is the annual Inn-to-Inn Cookie Tour on December 13th/14th. As always, we’ve come up with some unique ideas for the theme this year which is “Holidays around the World” and as usual, we’re having to work hard to make sure it happens! Things are kind of under wraps until the day, so I’m not going to tell you what it is – you’ll just have to come and see us 
If you enjoy touring inns and seeing all the decorations, not to mention the free cookies and candy from each inn, give us a call. We have one room left for the weekend! Or, if you can’t stay, there are some limited day tickets available by calling 800-233-8309.
