Homemade cinnamon donuts

I didn't plan on a food blog; however we discovered this quaint shop early this morning. Cayd is  the donut maker and bee keeper. The donuts are wonderful! Located near the intersection of Route 84 & 33.

Thank you Mike Rust, our friend, Shaklee family brother, and cross country trucker, we would have never found this place if we were on 95 South! Peach cider and pie!

Vintage Christmas in Portsmouth NH

After a delicious 18th century style meal at the William Pitt tavern in Strawberry Banke we attended the candlelight stroll. This is one of the many reasons why we love living in Portsmouth, there is always something to do. We were entertained with ice skating, horse drawn carriage rides, Costumed characters to chat with, and amazing Carolers from all around the seacoast. Musicians kept it lively, the roaring bonfire kept us toasty, and all of the historic homes were beautifully decorated for the holidays. Many of the homes hosted craft people who demonstrated their talents like the Cooper and the metalsmith who made gorgeous tin lanterns. We were so lucky to have a balmy night we didn't even miss the snow!

The oldest standing Georgian Palladian plantation house in the country, as well as the oldest plantation in America open to the public. We had a beautiful day to tour the plantation and grounds.
