Loved this piece and it's definitely made me want to read the complete memoir when it appears. My wife, Elaine, and I were lucky enough to share time with you and Kristin as the only guests at the Lodge for one four day visit in May 2012. When we returned in October 2014, Kristin was pleased to present my wife with the cap she thought we had left two years before. It wasn't Elaine's but it just said so much about Kristin that she kept it in the hope of reuniting it with its owner. She was a lovely person and we feel privileged to have shared time with her.
Laughing at your description of Kristin as cool and rather dismissive, because she could not have been warmer when we first met her. Isabel's over-riding memory of Kristin is her pork ragu. Apparently it was one of the most delicious things she has ever eaten.
Thank you for sharing your memories. I would love to purchase the book when it is published, hope you will post details of publication when it is available.
Loved reading this beginning of your love story with Kristin. I still remember her whipping up a meal for us after we’d all been at the bars in Winnipeg. Can’t wait to read more - what you shared was so special.
I thoroughly enjoy reading your articles and this latest one "The beginning of the affair" is a special insight into your journey. I have yet to come to visit the lodge but it is on my "life" list for a number of reasons. I look forward to buying your book when you do publish as each article wants you reading more.
What an interesting start to a beautiful love story.
Lovely to hear the beginning of your love story with Kristin, thank you

Love your emails, I look forward to reading them and like you I lost my soulmate, we were married for 52 years
Julius, I am thrilled to hear of the early days for yourself and Kristin. You had such precious times together.
