Dear Sonia, Thank you so much for thinking of us! Pine Haven sounds absolutely , and I can already picture myself on that porch with my morning tea. Frank and I have been struggling to find the right place, so your really helps. We checked the website and the cottage looks lovely. The summer rate is a bit higher than we planned, but since we were only thinking of , it should be manageable. Frank was excited about The Red Hen — he loves fish tacos as much as does! We are leaning toward the second week of August, which means we could before you leave. I will contact Mr. Aldridge this weekend about the deposit. Talk soon, Linda
