Dear Marti, Stormy and JT,

My sister, my cousin and I had such a great stay with you at the Inn of the Patriots this past Thursday and Friday nights! Thank you so much for turning over the entire first floor to us and for welcoming us so warmly. We enjoyed meeting you and appreciate your hospitality and all the many special things you did to make us feel so at home. Marti's breakfasts were outstanding. I am still dreaming about the delicious omelet he served us Friday morning. Perhaps I will get to sample all of his different omelet varieties if I come back often enough! His giant brownies were delicious also. Your place was perfect for our reunion with our two cousins from Shelby. We plan to visit them again soon and will definitely stay with you when we come back.! Perhaps next time we will have time to take your tour of the house. We know that Marti's stories of the house and its history would be a real treat!
