Aunt Charlotte's inn is celebrating its hundredth birthday. The Red Inn opened in 1915, after Aunt Charlotte's uncle Henry Wilkinson purchased it for his unmarried sister Marion Wilkinson to run. Marion ran it, with help from her sister Katharine Wilkinson and her niece Charlotte May Wilson (Aunt Charlotte), until her death in 1932, when Aunt Charlotte took over. Today the inn is famous for its excellent food. Here's a photo of me with Aunt Charlotte in front of her little red house in 1966, and a postcard of the inn in 1918. For more information about the celebration, please visit theredinn.com.

Thanks to the women of the Georgetown book club for having me at their summer meeting to discuss Marmee & Louisa and My Heart Is Boundless. It was a great crowd, very knowledgeable about the Alcotts and Mays.
