Jeremy and Jen spent a romantic evening in the Treehouse. Upon leaving, Jeremy (Airforce) said, "I left you something in the Treehouse." Then he pulled out a little green soldier and told me he had left two in the Treehouse. We built the Treehouse for the young-at-heart. Jeremy certainly fits that description! Hope to see you two again someday! 
They said the third time is the charm, but the fourth time to stay at the secret might be pretty hard to beat. Scott spoiled Karen with a surprise, return visit to the secret. They've stayed in the Sugar Shack, then the Treehouse, then, when expecting Cody, the Nautical Cottage and this visit, yep....the Jail House. Ok, kids...next time....the lake house!!!
What a wonderful 4 days we've shared with our now, new found friends, Ellen and Ray. What sweethearts they are. Ray makes fountain pens out of deer antlers. He gave me one! Then, he had one sent to Carl that he made from a rifle (I think) bullet. The pens are beautiful and write like a dream. Thank you, Ellen and Ray, not only for your generosity but also for the laughter and conversations we enjoyed. We hope to see you guys again someday; if not here, at the beach!
Once upon a time there was a friend named Rosalyn who wanted to treat her friend, JoAnn on her birthday....... soooo......Rosalyn planned a get-a-way weekend at the secret. Will the real birthday girl, please stand up?
Leigh's aunt, Sue (Ohio) and her mother, Susie (Cullman, AL) celebrated and treated Leigh to a weekend get-a-way in honor of her upcoming college graduation. What a cutie pie!
Put two sisters and one niece together and what do you get? ...Lots of giggles, fun and memories! What a wonderful time we shared with you girls this weekend!
It's a small world. This past weekend Bob and Terri Gipson stayed with us. When they returned home and told their children where they had been, they found out their son and daughter-in-law had spent their first anniversary at the secret 6 years ago. Then, her parents stayed with us a year later. Imagine the coincidence? Amazing. We've enjoyed all three and we are counting on a big family reunion at the secret soon! :)
