I’m very thankful and blessed to be working on my first baked goods order (and, no, it’s not for my mom)!

Butter Cupcakes – Vanilla are coming right up.  I’ll edit this post with more pictures once the cupcakes are completed, but I’m too excited not to share with my supporters.

Edit: final pics!

Goodbye to John Reed, Spokane Icon

SPOKANE, Wash. –The longest serving employee at the Davenport Hotel passed away late Sunday night.

John Reed worked at the Davenport hotel since 1942. Just last year he was honored for working 75 years at the hotel. The board room was renamed for him. Reed was hired at the hotel during World War II when he was 13 years old. Eventually he became a bellboy, and worked as a doorman for several decades after that.

As a doorman, Reed saw a lot of faces walk through the door, including John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy and George H. W. Bush.

Guests told us seeing Reed at the door was a great way to feel welcome at the hotel.

“I enjoy being a doorman here and meeting and greeting people, and I’m proud to be part of the Davenport,” Reed told us in 2015.

Reed was 88 years old.
