After a long career writing for local newspapers — and, on rare occasions, for publications such as The Washington Post — Nora is enjoying a second wind as an innkeeper.

Thank you! It did seem like a lovely way to live. I especially liked his study with the three desks. What an unusual way to stay organized!

It really was. Not fancy, but calm and lovely. Our family is too large for calm, but I’m shooting for comfy and pretty!
