I just read a book about gratitude that made me think about all I have to be thankful for. As this is a Log Cabin Inn blog, I will concentrate on what makes me appreciate the Inn. These things are in no order of importance.....just random things that pop into my head.....
***The fact that my Mom was born and brought up on Orr's Island, and we have many generations of history here.
***That I grew up in the service industry, with my brother owning the Bailey Island Motel, and my Aunt the Square Deal restaurant....and I began working at both at age 12 (which, I cannot believe is almost 50 years of working in the service industry!)
***That my husband Neal thought we should buy the Log Cabin back in 1979 so I could continue in the restaurant industry (I argued that perhaps I would like to do something else with my life....but as usual, Neal won).
***That my brilliant daughter in law, Aimee, said she was tired of restaurant work back in 1995....prompting us to convert the then Log Cabin Restaurant into the Log Cabin Island Inn.
***That my sons, Matt and Adam, are multi-talented and have worked tirelessly over the years converting and renovating the Inn.
***That both Matt and Aimee have turned into fabulous Innkeepers (and have let me continue to work with them).
***That our "crew" has worked together for many, many years now, and contributed in so many ways to the success of the Log Cabin.
***That the Inn happens to be located in one of the most beautiful places on earth!
***That we now have hundreds of wonderful, repeat guests who we all treasure and look so forward to seeing and visiting with year after year.
So, from me to all of you, Thank You for blessing my life. I am one lucky girl! Sue
