You were the greatest and best host! Talk about gratitude! We had so much fun and felt so safe in your presence!
Usually people are happy to see us go~~~(especially glad to see Mary go), so this is a new experience for us!
You epitomized Emerson, “a friend may be reckoned the masterpiece of nature”
Thank you, Garrett!
