During our recent trip to the Boston area, we had the pleasure of staying at a bed and breakfast in Middleboro, called On Cranberry Pond. It’s a beautiful and peaceful place, and I’ll show more pictures tomorrow. Today, however, I need to write about scones.

We’d just woke up and packed to leave after our second night there, and I was checking email while Darla went down for breakfast. But by the time I’d shut down the inn guests’ laptop, I discovered my daughter, clad in a very official-looking apron and serving coffee.

This, ladies and gentlemen, would be an example of my daughter in her glory.

It turns out she’d asked the innkeeper, Jeannine, what she could do to help. The result was probably the most memorable experience of the trip. In addition to playing innkeeper, she got to bake cranberry scones — from scratch.

She mixed and kneaded the dough.

She scored these really cute triangular shapes.

She snuck snacked on apple slices — an ingredient in one of Jeannine’s other gourmet breakfast concoctions.

And we all enjoyed the finished product.

Thanks, Jeannine, for passing the torch!!
