We are planning to head up to the lake cabin next weekend. The weather forecast looks promising with clear skies and mild temperatures. I will bring the grill and some side dishes if you can handle the main course. We should also decide on a few hikes we want to do while we are there. The trail around the north ridge is about six miles with good views of the valley. Let me know if you want to invite anyone else from the group. I think keeping it to four or five people will be more comfortable for the space. We can finalize the menu later this week once everyone confirms.

A Note of Thanks for Your Recent Hotel Visit

We hope your stay was restful and enjoyable. As a small gesture, we have set aside a luxury cooling pillow set for you.

Because you stayed with us or a partner hotel within the past year, a 2-pillow luxury cooling set is available to you at no charge. After completing a brief questionnaire, you will also have the option to schedule a 2-night stay at select locations — also provided at no charge. You will not be billed for the pillows or the qualifying stay nights.

To have your pillow set shipped, simply answer a few questions. Once the questionnaire is finished, you can view participating locations and available dates for your 2-night stay. Total allocation is 800 pillow sets, with one set per household. This opportunity ends tomorrow.

I have been reading that novel you recommended and I am about halfway through it. The pacing is steady and the character development is quite detailed. I can see why you thought I would enjoy it. The setting reminds me of that town we visited a few years ago with the old stone buildings and narrow streets. I will finish it this week and then we can talk about it over coffee. Let me know if you have any other suggestions in a similar style. I am also thinking about starting a non-fiction book on forest ecology since I have been spending more time outdoors lately.
