WOW! July was wonderfully busy - I didn't even realize that the month has gone by we are now in August! The 4th of July fireworks were spectacular, we've met many new friends that have stayed with us, and we believe that we are truly blessed and have found our niche. Our little town has been putting on the play "Into the Woods" with the Northern Light Opera Company here in Park Rapids. There are so many talented people in this area and it has been so much fun being a part of the "pit crew." I have been able to find outlets that allow me to utilize my flute playing talents. We are looking forward to hosting a group of Peace Corps vlounteers that will be having their reunion here at the Inn in just a couple of weeks - we are looking forward to meeting this amazing group of young adults! We only wish that all of this group could be together, including the organizer that extended his stay and is still in Mali, Africa finishing his third year of PC (we miss you Eric but are extremely proud of you!) Blessings to all!
