Today is our two month anniversary of running the Lodge.  It's a big day for us.  We've done a lot in those 2 months, and we've learned how much more there is to be done.
Here are just some of the things we've done.  Guests may be aware of some but most things are behind the scenes.  They're not in any special order, just the order that they occur to me.

So we're proud of what we've accomplished and our guests have been very happy and complimentary of what we've done, but we know there's still a long way to go.  And I know there are things I've left off the list and there are lots of things we don't know we need to do yet. But in another few months I'll write down another list of things we've accomplished and then a few months after that another list.  And so on...
