Dear Katie; I want to thank you for my family who stayed with you in your beautiful home. You and Curt made everyone feel very welcome and relaxed there. You were exceedingly prompt, kind and funny in your responses to all e-mail questions I sent you - even when I rudely wrote you at 1AM to ask a question on behalf of my daughter. You wrote back immediately ! and believe me, she is so grateful and got her work done by the next morning ahead of her deadline.

As you know, my husband had a health crisis and so we were not able to join our family at your home for the weekend. Our adult children, and my cousin spent a wonderful time in your home. They said it was very clean and well stocked with everything they might have needed and the location close to Lake Harriet and Uptown shops and restaurants was wonderful for walks, exploring and enjoying the outdoors.

I am also grateful that you were able to provide a pack-and-play for my grandson. I'm especially grateful given you had a broken leg and still were able to get a sheet for the baby. Many thanks for that.

We plan to contact you next time we are in Minneapolis.

Best wishes and our thanks to you and Curt,

Laura Nevius and Craig Olson
