Tuesday June 24th~

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace
 for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow...


 When we ran the hotels back in 2017 to 2018 full time we
hardly had time to do much.  Arvid and I almost never went 
anywhere.  We lived full time in Branson and everything we
 did was with the hotels in mind.  But one day we sold it. 


 We sold to a couple called Chris and Tiffany Pylant for
 $10.00  Yes we financed it.  Arvid and I liked them very
 much.  They began as tenants of Arvid's at what was 76 Inn.

  Afterwards Arvid moved them over to Almost home. 
 Within weeks we upgraded them to our maintenance couple, 
and they were good.  They had experience in hotels so 
we thought why not sell it to them.  For the first few 
years all went smoothly, then one day it didn't.


The point here is that once we sold Almost Home to them, 
we had time to do some fun stuff.  One of the first things we 
did  was go to a concerts in St. Louis.  We saw The Eagles
 in concert.  Since then we have been back to St. Louis 
several times.  Not being hotel owners gave us time to do 
fun things again.  I loved Almost Home, but I am happy
 we no longer run it. We both are back to "easy" life.


Life was back to being not so hectic.  We enjoyed doing
 what we liked.  We sold our home in Branson and went back
 home to Florida.  But then we missed Branson and decided to
 come back.  So we bought another home.  We had just moved 
back when all of a sudden we had to take back Almost Home. 
 Chris and Tiffany just left in the middle of the night. 

Arvid and I were vere shocked because they were always
 so good and honest.  Until that changed. On the morning of 
February 28, 2022 I received a text from Della, the maintenance
 man's wife.  She told me that Tiffany and Chris took off and left 
me the keys to the hotel.  Just like that we became full time hotel
 owners again.  No matter what, we are grateful to Chris and Tiffany. 


Long story short, we took it back February 28-2022 
and we sold it to the current owner in April of 2022.  We are
 now just part owners.  Silent owners for the most part.


 Today we are back to enjoying leisure time
 and continue discovering things in Branson we 
never had the time to do before, and loving it.


A good day to all.  Life is what you make of it, and 
we always do our best to make it work for us. If we fail, we
 try again.  Simple as that, and trust me we never give up.


The farther backward you can look, 
the farther forward you can see...
