A year has passed...

...Since I began this project and there has been quite a bit of change in my life.  I started a new job.  I moved.  What they say are two of the most stressful occurrences in a person's life, outside of marriage, divorce, and child birth.  The job has taken over my life (not good), and the move has been got through (barely). 

Amongst the good the bad and the ugly this blog has been on the back burner, and is likely going to stay there for a bit yet.  I didn't, however, want to let this week fade away without commenting on the one year anniversary of The Innkeeper's Daughter. 

The Innkeeper's Daughter was born out of many people saying to me, "you should tell that story".  It has been a fun story to share and I look forward to being able to tell the rest of it.

It was born from my wanting to see if I could cook in a manner that would force me to document and allow others to reproduce what I have always taken for granted.  Did the recipes work for you? 

It was born from a challenge to myself.  Okay so you know just about everything there is to know about a hotel, what else can you do?  The technical side has been a mysterious journey that teaches every day.  The writing has been fun, and a new way to express myself.  The photography a serious challenge that needs so much more work. 

All in all a good start, but there is so much more I want to accomplish with this project.  When I sit down to work on this I like how it makes me feel, I just need to get the rest of my life in balance so I can continue. 

So I will be back.  I will shout it from the roof tops, and every electronic messaging service that I can think of.  I have so much more to tell you about I couldn't stop now!

Well, we have a lot in common. I also am an Innkeepers daughter. I started my Innkeeping life at age 9 at an Inn and cottage spot in Rockport, Mass. I'm starting to put down my memories...AND I HAVE A LOT to tell also!
I have never met anyone like us...so I hope we can forge a friendship...I'm sure we can tell the world the behind the scenes to one of the most romanced professions on the planet!
Cheers to you, fellow Innkeeper's daughter...so happy to have found you!

So nice to hear from you. Let me know when you start sharing your tales. I am still the fool who cannot leave the industry, you?
