As 2023 came to a close, I took time to reflect on all the guests that came to the lodge this past year. Each and every one of you became a part of my soul as I loved getting to know you. All of you have a story to tell and how blessed I am to be able to hear about your lives. You keep my life exciting as your adventures and the places you have been are fascinating. Unfortunately, there are always sad stories, but hearing how you made it through is an encouragement to others as well.
