Friends and Family

It's been a fun and full month of friends and family here at the lodge.  We've enjoyed having our kids and their friends here.  My parents made it up for the first time. And finally, other than meeting and greeting our guests at the lodge, we had our first "old friends" as guests.  Chet and Veronica Fuller, who we knew from our kids being at the same school, came up and enjoyed hiking and exploring. Our dear friends, the Van Dams are here now.  Jim and Mark and his boys and nephew are off on a backpacking adventure while Priscilla and I are enjoying girl time.  Coming soon are friends we went to church with, before we were married couples, to celebrate their 26th anniversary.  We love hosting people in this wonderful lodge, but it sure is extra fun when we can share this place with family and friends.
Progress report on the kitchen.  The tile floor is all finished and the counter tops should be installed within the week.  It will have been 7 months without a full kitchen to use and everything either in unpacked boxes or open boxes in our living area to rumble around in to use for meal prep and storage.  I am so excited to get in after everyone is finally finished, to clean my new kitchen, unpack and organize all my kitchen stuff, and get ready for the launch of the breakfast part of the b & b!
