This is "Sweetie Pies" in Fish Creek. I knew "Sweetie Pie" and her mom 50 years ago, when my mom and I used to vacation in Fish Creek! Her mom used to play the accordian and make the best cherry pies at The White Gull Inn. We had the best times! This is the sweetest little pie shop.

And here is the journal page that she was so kind to do for me in my MYM journal while we were there this month. So special.
The White Gull Inn where all my memories of Door County started. This is the Main Lodge. It was in the 60s that I found their ad in a newspaper and off my mom and I would go on the train each summer for a week. At that time, it was $5 per night! The owners, then, would pick us up from the train station and take us to the Inn for a week of wonderful home-cooked food, friendly people who became like family, and treasured memories.
The rooms and cottages are most beautiful. This is The Welcker House.

"I remember the fish boils...
and the inside of the dining room is as homey as ever...
and across the way is the walk and the trees that we walked along, Mom..."

April, We were in Door County last month and I saw Sweetie's but we didn't stop in. Wish I had known of your deep and fond connection to the place ahead of time! We climbed the Cana Island lighthouse and took the ferry to Washington Island on a gorgeous clear day! Also climbed the tower in Peninsula Park and saw the same play you did, "Panic"!
Next time also visit the American Folklore Theatre. This is the second time we have seen them. This year the play was "Guys & Does". Three actors on the stage and absolutely a hysterical and enjoyable evening! So good, really! www.FolkloreTheatre.com
We saw the poster for Guys and Does and cracked up! Ran out of time, though. Glad you got to see it!
