News from the Inn: I have been very busy this winter. The 2 Jacuzzi tubs were installed late fall so more guests could enjoy a soak each evening but the Main House was landscaped with a slate terrace for more outdoor space to enjoy. A new herb garden has been developed by the slate terrace. Inside, I renovated the Pinot Suite to have a cathedral ceiling and enlarged the room almost 100 square ft. The rooms is quite chic with its mirrored furniture, shag rug and white leather bed. I hope you will enjoy it. The dining room has gotten a new rug and a great paint job and will be getting new upholstered chairs as soon as they are delivered. The back stairwell has also been painted. Of course, during the renovation, the electric and insulation and structure were reinforced to reduce our foot print on this world.

Things to do: The State and Kitchen Theater are having some great shows and I highly recommend looking up their sites to catch one of their shows. Also the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail has two weekends this May celebrating the Herb and Wine Festival. I still have rooms available for both weekends.

Family News: Rachel is doing well in Germany in the Rotary Student Exchange. She is enjoying her last host family and she will be returning June 10th. This will be a happy day at the Inn. She has chosen Nazareth College to attend their Physical Therapy PhD program. Anna is in Boston attending MASSART and is also doing well. She is finishing her Sophomore year and getting great feedback from her professors. She just had an art show in town and 5 of her pieces were chosen for a the end of the year show at her school as well. Anna's art can be seen in both houses.

I also had a busy winter. I spent 3 weeks traveling with Anna in Boston, Ogunquit, MA, Quebec City and Franconia NH. We spent our time, x-country skiing, sledding, snowshoeing, and hiking the winter landscapes. I then went scuba diving in Bonaire. It was my first trip and it was outstanding. This is my new sport and I will probably try for two trips this winter. I am rested and I am looking forward to taking care of all of you this season. See you soon!
