Dinner in ffrost tavern
3 Chimneys Inn
A lovely, welcoming inn located in Durham,the 3 Chimneys Inn is one of the oldest homes in New Hampshire.Built in 1649, it is now a beautiful bed and breakfast with 23 rooms, with dining and entertainment offerings.
We met Susan and Rainer there for dinner on Friday evening in the ffrost tavern where the ambiance is warm, cozy and casual, the menu tempting, and the food is beautifully presented, and very delicious.
We lingered over entrees, indulged in decadence for dessert, talked the place closed, then braved the winter wind aw we walked down the short hill to our cars.
Ahhhhhhhh, a very satisfying way to spend an evening when the work week is old and the weekend is new.
We entered the weekend with no obligations for Saturday and Sunday: a stay-at-home, snuggle down kind-of-weekend.
Just an ordinary woman enjoying life in 'phased retirement' and working part time at a great job. I love to cook, am an avid reader; love quilting, sewing, beading on fabric; altering antique books; making fabric postcards; and living by the sea. I have a long list of want-to-do's -- things I want to learn and see and experience. In 2006, I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and that has been a catalyst for learning valuable life lessons. For a long while it seemed that I had become a 'patient'; it took a lot of work to get back to being me: just an ordinary woman.
I live on the Maine coast where I am blessed with the gift of time to do work that nourishes my soul.
These days, I'm practicing slow. . .reading, thinking, looking. . . giving myself the gift of timelessness to listen, learn, watch and just breath.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. Notes & comments are welcomed and always appreciated.
