Modern Influences Who Have Helped Us Manage

There have been wonderful reasons to shape how we go about things at Grandma's Cottage!  Our children have good memories of growing up in the woods.  Today as adults they have opinions.   Daughter Maria and her husband Gregg are stewardship-oriented with science background. They appreciate nature and detail!   Son Hugh and his wife Jennifer view cottage potential balanced with artistry.  Hugh's the one who suggests baking cookies (or tookies as a young friend said) for our guests.   Daughter Erin pays attention to practical investments that make a cottage visit memorable ( Murphy Oil soap).  Erin, Jennifer and Hugh incorporate Benedictine tradition of hospitality from their former campus(es) of CSBSJU.  You would know that influence without anyone telling you.  Bringing above elements together, family friend JP enjoyed Grandma's Cottage, CSBSJU and Al/Maria/Gregg's Notre Dame. From shared paths he offered wisdom we try to maintain:  "Keep it simple."  JP helped shape the "wise old Indian trail" between our home and Grandma's Cottage.
