First of all I’d like to thank the people who have posted on this blog while I have run screaming in the opposite direction! I am not the greatest when it comes to sitting down in front of this box (computer) and spending time composing anything of interest or that makes any sense. But after much nagging, I mean encouragement, I have decided to give it a go. For anyone who has read this blog in the past it may take on a different feel. Not only will I tell of things going on at our Coeur d’Alene, Idaho inn, but I want to talk about things that impress and inspire me. I hope you enjoy!

In the mean time here is a picture of the finished patio that John and his brother Scott completed in April. We have had several,weddings,evening managers receptions there, as well as guests just enjoying the area and shade of the Norwegian maple trees. Stay tuned for more.
