The Delta House Inn

December cakes are here! We taste-tested all night. Now we’re heading to bed with incredibly sweet dreams. If you liked last month’s desserts, get ready for a December flavor explosion. Chef Nelson has been hard at work creating these one-of-a-kind offerings. Give us two days, and they’re yours! www.deltahouseinn.com/dessert-of-the-month

Cocinamos cakes are already showing up at parties across Ohio! Thank you Lucy and Amy for taking our decadent cakes to your fall parties. We hope your family and friends enjoyed them! www.deltahouseinn.com/dessert-of-the-month

As construction continues upstairs on the guest suites at The Delta House Inn, we are developing new recipes for our menu and they are TOO GOOD to keep to ourselves! The kitchen is up and running and the oven is fired up for the holidays. We introduce you to “Cocinamos” (co-see-NAY-mohs). It means “Let’s Cook Together”. Follow the link to see our beautiful offerings for November (Cocoflan Impossible Tart and Pumpkin-Filled Cinnamon Cake) and let us help fill your table! www.deltahouseinn.com/dessert-of-the-month

We have our first employee!

The “breakfast” part of the Bed & Breakfast is coming along nicely! Some punch out work and decorating to do, then on to the “bed” part of the house. @ Delaware, Ohio

This was a great weekend of getting things accomplished! I am blessed to have my own crew of 12-18 family and friends who were here for three days to get things started and help with the move-in (nothing like living in a construction zone!). Here is the new master bedroom (expanded to its original 1912 dimensions when it was a dining room serving 24 fraternity brothers around one table), the beginning of the new private guest entrance, and the continuing wallpaper removal saga.

I found this little gem. Postmarked March 3. 1913 (a few months after the house was built). “Dear Marie, Recieved your letter O.K. some time ago. Will answer it with a card. I suppose you remember this building. A week from today is my birthday. Think I will be 17. Seen Mary R. today. Heard Billy Sunday while here. Will close still remaining your friend, Joe.” If these walls could talk! It was mailed to Miss Marie Schaffer, 1094 Say Avenue, Columbus, Ohio (current photo of that house below).

Morgan and Judy Burgess, the previous owners of the house, had commissioned a pen and ink drawing of the residence. I’m re-framing this beautiful work and it will hang above one of the fireplaces. What a talented artist! (P. Gegner, 1993)
