If you ever enjoyed a piece of our Chocolate Potato Cake or lathered a layer of our Applebutter on a thick slice of toast, you’ve tasted a bit of my Granny’s cooking. She never considered herself much of a cook – or even really LIKED to cook – but made bread, fixed supper, cooked down bushels of Gravenstein apples and baked years worth of birthday cakes because she took care of home and family. She was also a Certified Nurse’s Aide and often worked the swing shift, setting her up for a lifetime tendency to be up late into the night, rising last of us all in the family. My Granny passed away this past week, my sister and I were with her. Not sure what sort of a Lady of the House I would be now without having been raised in and close to her home.
Here’s the calendar for this week… I’ve been so grateful for Roadhouse staff keeping things going while I’ve been with my family and for having the calendar to work on…

We always recommend double checking with the particular venue/host organization to verify all events and happenings are still a ‘go.’ Things change fast…sometimes faster that we can update! Good places to find event information for Talkeetna – besides right here! – are the Talkeetna Chamber of Commerce Calendar of Events page and KTNA’s website under Today’s Announcements.
Take care!
