Congratulations, Anna!

Daughter of our Events Manager at our Newfoundland resort inn and spaOur staff work so hard, and we’re so grateful for all they do. And at the end of the day, it’s really all about family, and celebrating all the big and little moments that make life great with them.

If you’ve booked with or been to The Doctor’s House, then you’ve probably met Dana, our Events Manager (and then some). She recently shared this sweet photo of her sweet daughter, Anna, who had one of those big moments to celebrate herself.

Here’s what Dana said: “Today I’m celebrating with my oldest baby (Anna – 8, grade 2), who won a ribbon in each race at her school’s sports day! Three first places (bean bag, sack race and long distance race), two second place ribbons in the 50m and three legged race, and a third place ribbon in the potato and spoon race. Proud is an understatement – both Mama and Anna (and I think Jerry got a little weepy eyed at the sight of all those ribbons)!”

Congrats to Anna for such a good showing, and thanks to Dana for sharing!

 

New Game at the Shag It – and Good News

Playing horseshoes at our Newfoundland cafe and gift shopWe’ve instituted a new game at the Shag It .We had one of the neighbours make this game called ‘washer toss,’ which is something like horse shoes except you throw large washers with the hope of getting them in the pipe in the box. We are offering a free lunch to anyone who can actually do it – it’s not so easy, but it’s really fun.

And the good news? We are now licensed – so bring a designated driver, and enjoy a wine or beer with Joe Friday’s famous cod-au-gratin!

Tuesdays with Murphy: Fetch!

Boy oh boy, my humans sure need a lot of help! I’m not sure why, but Jerry keeps throwing sticks into the water. Someone has to retrieve them! Thankfully, ‘retriever’ is my middle name – literally – so I’m up to the challenge. Honestly, I don’t know what they’d do without me. 

Got it! And I love the Atlantic Ocean – I’m so lucky to get to play here every day!
