Today in American history…President Benjamin Harrison was born in North Bend, Ohio, in 1833. Benjamin Harrison was the grandson of “Old Tippecanoe,” William Henry Harrison who was the ninth president of the United States. 

He would go on to become the 23rd President of the US when elected in 1888.

We had a wonderful visit to Meems Covered Bridge in Historic Mount Jackson, Virginia yesterday.

What have you done historic lately?

Cindy and I got to take a special tour of The Wayside Inn today in Middletown, Virginia. Did you know The Wayside Inn is the oldest inn in the US that has run continually since it first opened in the 1700’s? Also learned that George Washington slept here when he was 16 years old.  Pretty fascinating! Please stop by and visit if you are ever in Middletown, Virginia.

Last month we were picked by The Northern Virginia Daily readers as the BEST bakery in all of Shenandoah County.  Thank you to my wonderful staff: Cindy Cherry, David Yablonski, Audrie Wieber, Dylan Collins, John Price and Annabelle Shye for all of your incredibly hard work.  Yay team! Thanks to my husband, Jim, and my dad, Roger Husband for all of your love and support xoxoxo
