Fall colors in Door County…

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

No folks… they aren’t all on the ground yet. I had someone call a couple days ago asking if Door County still had color… so Adi and I took a long walk yesterday…

So in answer to the question… the photos speak for themselves! Don’t forget, beginning Sunday stay two nights and get the third night free at Egg Harbor Lodge.

Happy Fall!

Door County Fall Color Update

Monday, September 27th, 2010

I snapped a few photos today to show the progression of the fall colors in Door County. It isn’t peak for sure but the colors are still pretty…

Last year the colors hung on the entire month of October. Pre-peak, post-peak… it is all good. Check out the Egg Harbor Lodge web cam to keep track of the colors.

Packers vs. Bears tonight so we are headed to Mike’s Port Pub and that means JELLO SHOTS! Every time the Packers score the bartender hands out Jello shots. Who doesn’t like Jello? Mark and I went for lunch today with our friends Kim and Don today who live in Colorado and she had no idea what a Jello shot was… Kimmy… you better get out more!

GO PACK!

Waiting for baby

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Door County runs at an extremely slow pace in the winter… something I think all Door Countyites cherish. While we all are waiting patiently for spring, Mark and I are waiting for our first grandchild to be born. Carissa and Josh are expecting a baby girl in the middle of March and we are all super excited. Nellie, Emilie and I had a baby shower for Carissa on Sunday. She got really beautiful things… lots of pink. Sure hope that sonogram is correct.

My friend Kim from Pink Bakery in Egg Harbor made the croissants for the chicken salad and the cutest cupcakes I have ever seen! There were four different flavors including chocolate ganache with red rasberry frosting and cherry almond with a buttercream frosting. They were all really delish and a big hit with all the girls.

I made Sangria and pink lemonade and a tarragon chicken salad that I tried to copy from the Door County Bakery who makes the absolute best. I think it was the loudest shower I have ever been… between my own daughters, their friends and my nieces, there were a lot of laughs. I think everyone had a really nice time. I know I did! I loved all the little pink things for the baby. Egg Harbor will have a new little resident in just a few weeks. Stay tuned.
