 Riverbend Inn, Livingroom
Drive up to the Riverbend Inn, and immediately a sense of “ahhhhhh” settles over you. Rest in the parking lot an extra moment listening to the sounds of the river, and the hassles of the world melt.
The Riverbend Inn gives fresh meaning to “a world apart.” Owners Craig Cox and Jerry Weiss are California transports, and while they’ve left Hollywood careers behind, they’ve created a picture-perfect thriller of an inn. Step into the Riverbend and you step into the intrigue of bold, deep colors and Asian art and décor. The large overstuffed couches and the carved mahogany beds beckon even those who usually tread with trepidation at the suggestion of a B&B. The Riverbend Inn provides the perfect spot for a romantic weekend away from the kids or a simple retreat from the everyday rush. |

We asked Sherri Cook of Cook & Cook Exquisite Custom Cabinetry in Scarborough, Maine to share with us the “recipe” for making the kitchen the genial and gracious center of any home.
“First off,” she advises, “take the time to research and explore cabinetry and appliances. Winter is the perfect time to sift through magazines, books and articles, collecting inspiring photos of cabinet style, design details and appliance models that excite your interest and capture the “feel” that speaks to you. As your collection grows, it is likely that you will begin to see a common theme in your choices. |

 Mike Fitzgerald, aka The Pig Man
Mike Fitzgerald, affectionately known as “The Pig Man” in Saratoga Springs, recalls the day that he brought the Peppermint Pig back to town.
After he opened Saratoga Sweets in 1988, he was surprised by a visit from a member of the Historical Society inquiring if he would be interested in reviving the tradition of the peppermint pig. |
