A few years ago, I was working on my genealogy and started thinking, I see all these names on my family tree, but I know very little about them. Each one of them had a story to tell. Over the years, I have enjoyed telling my daughters and grandkids little stories about "when I was younger." And when we had the resort several times, we would say, "We should write a book about our resort experiences." So I decided to write down some stories for my grandkids. I started with the story about how God gave us Squaw Point Resort. Then he said, "Okay, let's move on to something new."

As I look back on my life, I see all these pieces of a jigsaw puzzle coming together, and I can see how God has had a part in each piece.
