Hi Mallory and Michelle !
We left the cottage this morning, we closed all the windows in case for the rain and we put the black bin near the road. The keys are on the counter. We spent our days hanging out at the beach, looking at the ocean and eating seafood and ice cream. Thank you so much for everything again, this week was everything we needed and much more than we were expecting, too. I think I saw my mom and dad laughing more this week than in the past year. We leave this morning, full of happy memories that were so much needed. Thank you for being so awesome, kind, thoughtful and for giving us the chance to enjoy your magical cottage. Hope to see you again and to come back to this perfect place Laura and all the family x ______________________________ August 24, 2021 Good evening Laura, You and your family have been in our thoughts since departing PEI. We hope your week was everything you wished it to be and that it was recuperative as well as formative. Nothing is a “silver bullet” in these circumstances but most everything can be a positive support if intended to be so. We hope the cottage experience played such a part for your extremely interesting family. No need to vacate by 11:00 tomorrow, take your time. Leave the keys on the countertop, put the gray bin by the road if you can, and drive safely as there will be rain headed your way. Hoping all the best to the story of your family and that our paths cross again. Kind regards, Mallory and Michele –––––––––––––––––––––– October 16, 2022 Hi Mallory! I just wanted to take the time to write to you guys to tell that my mom passed away a month ago. She fought hard until the end. The reason i'm writing to you is because your cottage and the time we passed in it was one of the memories we talked about at the hospital with her. Those moments we had together are really precious because after that her health deteriorated fast and we couldn't ger her out of the house anymore. She told us she would think about the ocean while going away and that she was so glad she could see it one last time. In short, I simply wanted to write to you to thank you again for allowing us to live those moments, and to tell you that your house will forever remain a very important memory in our family. I hope everything is going well on your side ❤️ The L----- family

 Hi Mallory: I’m back at my desk and trying (without much luck) to refocus on my responsibilities. I’m really having trouble after such a wonderful vacation. We did over 3k miles in our 6 state, 3 province tour, met some fantastic people, saw some remarkable and spectacular country and found quite a bit of adventure. The Bay of Fundy was a wonder and Cape Breton was among the most scenic places I’ve ever visited but frankly, our visit to PEI was really just unbelievable. Truly a step back in time, the North Lake area and community is a place that I know we will return to many times in the future. Your house was such a great home base for us and as I mentioned, we look very much forward to spending a long, relaxing vacation there next August. I’m already searching for property for sale on the island so if you’re aware of anything please let me know. 
Michele & Mallory, Thank you for making our trip to PEI so memorable. You have a lovely home/retreat and we’re happy to have been a part of the first “international PDK event” there. In spite of our week of fine dining, nothing matched our afternoon of gorging on mussels. We so much appreciate your hospitality.— Duffy & Laurie B.
Dear Mallory and Michele, All of us leave a huge thank you for an incredible week! We have been so comfortable and at home here in this beautiful house. We have loved sunrises and sunsets, wild lupine, watching the lobster boats go by, prowling the beaches, gathering stones and sea glass, reading on the deck, putting puzzles together and taking delight in an amazingly undeveloped spot. And we have feasted on our fair share of fresh sea food. Thanks for sharing this wonderful place with us! Gary and Gloria John (pictured with the 4 pound lobster) and Jemma Dave and Jackie
 This picture represents the nadir of house building, especially when done some 800 miles away from home, over the course of three years. The reality of living on a construction site often dwarfed the original reasoning behind the final vision. The PEI album page contains additional images of, and comments about, the construction phase. In any event, the house IS done and so am I. |
