First day of Summer

Beautiful summer days and evenings are upon us. They are the times to get your grass-fed beef and start up the grill. Burgers or steaks we have it here and it is some of the best. Top it off with a creemee,a sundae,float, or creemee pie and kick back. Summer is way too short not to have it all. New items still arriving and Ottis and Shirley are watching for you to bring them a treat. Stop in,sit a spell.

More useages for maple

Whenever we think of our Maple Cream we think of spreading it on toast, biscuits, or something toasted like most people do. Well, one day a lady here with a group was shopping around then decided to give the maple cream a try, on her HANDS. She thought it was cream for your hands and spread it on. After realizing it wasn't what she thought it was she went to wash it off. Probably the bees loved her the rest of the day. Sweet. Elliott has made a new batch of Maple Cream. come on up. No hands reguired.

Tis the season

Tis the season for strawberries that is and tomatoes. They are great. We also have whip cream and home made baking powder biscuits made by the one and only Betsy Morse.So far she has been able to keep up with the demand and work a full time job. Way to go Betsy. Stop by to have a strawberry short cake or purchase your own berries and biscuits and enjoy them at home. ahhh summer.

SUMMER VISITORS

Schools will be out for the summer soon and visitors will be stopping in
to see us,by car,truck,camper,mini van,motorcycle,motor coach or bike tours. Each will be looking for something a little different. Maybe a small gift for the dog sitter or to get a wedding gift. Some times they just need a creemee and tell us they were here years ago and knew they had to have another one. They get their maple syrup before heading back home and let us know they will be back again another year. That is nice to hear. Lots of motor coaches tell us this is the best stop on their tour, we are famous, you know. Come see us soon.

And we thought we'd seen it all

A few years back we had some colored glycerine soap in our store. It was real pretty in different colors and what looked like pieces of candied fruit in it. You could cut off as much as you wanted and get it weighed at the counter. Cool. It was clearly marked SOAP. Along came a man who picked up a small piece that broke off and promply popped it in his mouth thinking it was candy. The look on his face at the first bite, I think he blew bubbles for quite a while. He went to the kitchen and asked for a pickle to get the taste out of his mouth. Don't eat soap. Another time an older couple came in and looked around a little and took two small dog cookies out of the dog cookie jar in our pet area and walked out thru to see the video that was in the back of the store at that time,they sat down ate their dog cookies and never said a word. I guess they are good enough for your dog too. Smile....

Bus season not so far off

Even though summer is just starting we have had some buses already. Just this week we have had three buses. One was from Hawaii, one full of 50+ eighth graders from New york city, and the last one from Great Britain. It gets us ready for the 10-15 we have each day during fall foliage. So if we are not crazy when we begin the season, we certainly are by the end of the season. It helps to be a little crazy to work here. People for the most part are understanding that sometimes this is not a easy job. Others wonder how we keep our cool and get thru it. We like being busy come visit soon. Have a great day.

somethings are better left unsaid

Here is something that I had forgotten about but when one of our new employees mentioned she just got married a year ago it came back to me. I had a tour director call me a few weeks ago who said she just had to bring a bus here again,and it wasn't just that she loved this place it was more than that. I couldn't help ask her what that might be. She said she was in love with Burr. She said she couldn't help herself, he was cute, funny, wonderful, and would marry him if she could. Watch out Betsy. I really was taken aback by this, she was serious. I was embarassed for her, she couldn't stop talking about him. Now we have had people tell us how funny and cute he is but this was over the top. The end of September she's coming, beware Burr.
