Decking at Cherokee

 We are headed to Cherokee.  Denny's going to help Jason work on the front deck and I am making salsa with Mandy.  I finished digging up bulbs and picking some flowers for next week.  It was such a nice time.  The kids had wrap up ready for make and we had steaks for supper, you can't beat that.  Boys played nicely, Denny and Jason worked diligently on the step stringers and getting the angles right.  Mandy and I tried out the spin salsa maker.  Wonderful day. 



                                             

This was a review from a guest last week.  It kinda got my goat.  Lord, guide my response to it.

The location is very private and nice. Off the beaten path is what we have. It was truly like walking in to a clean and tidy 80s era location. The host communicated very well. I would encourage removing so many personal/ family photos and religious memorabilia from guest quarters. The dog and kitties were the friendliest and most welcoming of all.

My finial unfiltered responce:   Prairie Whole Farm is a century farm, the land has been in our family for over 100 years and we are proud of our heritage.  We have been married 48 years, we feel that is an accomplishment,  and we are very thankful for our family.  We use the "guest quarters" regularly for our family and the memorabilia mirrors our family beliefs.  We are not a hotel, but we are very happy to welcome anyone to our home which is a reflection our farm, family, and faith.   (We were not present for your stay so of course our animals were the most welcoming.) 

This was a lawyer's moderated response:  "Thank you for your feed back.  The guest quarters are used by our family regularly and mirror our beliefs.  We are very happy to welcome anyone to our home which is a reflection our farm, family, and faith."

Now to decide whether to post the moderated response.  Lord, grant us wisdom.   Do we just let things slide, or we take a stance for what we value????  What is the kindest, most truthful action to take????  The guest gave us a rating of 5 out of 5 in the four categories.    And we all need encouragement ... even though it is not my plan to remove anything as they encouraged me to.
