We stayed with Karen and Cecil for the first time this year. Karen was always ready to go, have fun and try new things. Her life was so full, so many stories to tell. John has a great photo of her that just makes you want to laugh. She was a sparkler and a pip. We wish we had more time with her.

I agree. Karen was one of my favorite clients who always lit up her surroundings with her upbeat effervescence and contagious jocularity. She was also a very concerned and caring person, thinking much about others as evidenced by the attention to the special needs of folks with different capacities that she and Cecil provide at their lodging. I know of no other local lodging that takes such attention with such seriousness.
