January 28, 2011 - Good morning. Thank you, we really enjoyed your "gentler art of doing nothing". To quote Robert Service - "It's the stillness that gets me - The cabin that stood on the edge of the wood - The lake like a petrified dream. Good-bye little cabin, I've loved you so long. And now - I must bid you ado". Jim and Luella Thomson
January 18, 2011 - Looking over previous notes left by guests, I wonder what could possibly be added...how about a soft and long held "ahhhh" an appreciated "mmmmm" and a sustained "purrrr".... for our entire stay! There is a story of an old native woman who felt that saying "thank you" was not enough; did not express what she felt adequately. She thought for a long time and found just the right thing to say that expressed how she felt with larger dimension and in greater depth: "I am full" she said on those occasions when "thank you " seemed inadequate. We are full. Paul and Chris Lewis, Toronto
PS: Standing ovation, a long sutained one to Emily, Linda, Regine and Lynn, and a "neck scruffle" for Cosette.
