Fall Foods

Fall has arrived and so have the wonderful fall breakfast that Amy and Mark cook up each morning. Featuring all the great autumn ingredients like apples fresh from the Bath Farmers' Market, raspberries from our own garden,
pumpkin and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg - yes, the kitchen and house smell heavenly each morning. They even grill up a chicken and apple sausage that is one of my favorites. Never one to get bored, Amy is always trying new recipes like the recent apple crostata
and her grandmother's oatmeal bread. Do you have a favorite breakfast meal or recipe? We would love to hear about it - let us know by commenting on my blog.

I love laying right here in the kitchen - this is the old floor that is going to be replaced soon.

Our Journey to Bath

Before Amy and Mark ever even thought about making me a part of their family, they were thinking about being innkeepers. About a year and a half after they adopted me, they left me in Erie, PA and took a trip to explore possible towns in New England to open their new business. While I patiently waited at home with a dog sitter, they journeyed to Bath ME, their first stop on the trip. It was December of 2004 so it was cold and raining in Maine but they fell in love with the town and the people they met. Driving to the next town in New Hampshire in a snow storm, they knew in their hearts that Bath was going to be our new home. They went ahead and looked at the other places as planned, but Bath was it. In February of 2005, they left me once again to look at a house on the market in Bath. It had been a B&B but had gone to a private home for the past couple years. Well, lucky us, they loved the house and put in a bid. It was so exciting when the realtor called us in Erie to say the Benjamin F. Packard House was ours! Things started moving quickly then. Packing up the house in Erie, making long distance arrangements for licenses, sprinkler systems and all the things that go with opening a new business. On May 14th, they packed the car and this time took me along too. We closed on the house on May 16th and in six hectic weeks, opened the new Benjamin F. Packard House B&B! My life as a bed and breakfast dog had begun.
