Greetings,
This
issue marks the one year anniversary of our newsletter.
By far the most popular segment of the newsletter, has
been Isham's Corner (plll...ease don't tell him!) with
the recipe section a close second. We hope that we
can continue to make you laugh, while providing you with
a little bit of Vermont. We would like to thank all of
you for your encouragement and support.

Hi Again Everyone
Last
month, after some humiliating begging, I was
successful in getting permission to publish a
recipe for dogs instead of people. I received
many thanks and letters of congratulations from
my multi-legged friends. That got me thinking.
Many times I've heard the innkeepers (my bosses)
talk about letters they've received from prior
guests, as well as comments in the guest book;
full of praises, appreciation and gratitude. I
wondered why I hadn't, before now, received any
myself, especially since I work as hard as they
do to make everyone happy.
So I began sniffing around the house (something
I'm especially well equipped to do). Lo and
behold, hidden behind a book on cats, where I
wouldn't be expected to look, I found a large
cache of letters all addressed to me.
While modesty precludes my listing all of them,
pride propels me to share at least one of them
with you.
Dear Isham and Gizmo,
" I can't tell you the last time that I
have made such instant friends. I usually have
to go through the whole alpha thing, but you
guys were just cool without the whole routine .
I was really touched by the way you treated me
like a guest too! I'll never forget how Isham
wouldn't eat the bone my Dad gave him until I
got one too. (Score for me). Anyway, thank you
for being my friend.
Love,
Worf the Dog.
The time may be right for my agent to
begin negotiations for a significant pay raise.
Till next month.
So long Leeba wherever you are.
Love Isham

| FOLIAGE
DRIVING TOUR |

|
Foliage
is fast approaching, and so we have mapped out
just one of the suggested Vermont Foliage
Driving Tours. Plan a day in awe and make sure
you bring plenty of film for your camera.
Suggestions
for fall foliage road tours in the Champlain
Lowlands and Northern Green Mountains.
This
would be a great fall foliage day trip. It's
very diverse with mountains, rivers, rolling
farmland, islands, beautiful villages, covered
bridges and places to shop and/or have lunch.
Your trip starts by taking a right out of our
driveway and going to the end of Buck Hollow
Road. Turn right onto the South Road,
following the South Road (with one stop
sign) for about 11 miles where the road ends at
Route 15 just East of the tiny village of
Cambridge.
Turn left onto Route 15 and proceed about 4
miles to Jeffersonville where you will then turn
left ( north) on to route 108 which you
will take to Enosburg Falls.
In Enosburg Falls Route 108 meets route 105.
Take 105 west past the junctions of 105 &
236 and 105 & 110 to the junction of 105
& 78. Proceed onto route 78. This will take
you through the village of Swanton and into the
Champlain Islands. Drive down through the Island
on Route 2.
This will bring you all the way through the
islands. You will pass through the towns and
villages of: Alburg, Grand Isle and South Hero
and eventually you will be brought back onto the
mainland where you'll meet route 7. Turn
left (North) onto route 7 and continue to route
104-A in Georgia. Turn right onto 104-A
and take it to the end (approx 4 miles) where it
ends at 104.
Turn right onto 104 and proceed .8 mile to Buck
Hollow Road just past the Mobil station.
Turn left onto Buck Hollow Road and proceed 6.1
miles back to the inn.
