(TRANSLATION; WE ENJOY REMEMBERING THE 2
WONDERFUL DAYS WHICH WE WERE ABLE TO SPEND AT LES LAVANDES. IT WAS BY FAR

6 WEEKS TRIP THROUGH AMERICA. ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. CHRISTL AND

Dear Richard and Myrta,
We are so pleased that our friends found
your "Swiss hideaway". You have created a wonderful haven in the Missouri
river countryside. We enjoyed both the scenic beauty and your wonderful
hospitality, particularily the conversations. Best wishes to you both and we
look forward to spending time with you again in the future.

Dear Richard and Myrta,
Thank you so much for sharing your very
special world with us. The food, the hospitality, the surroundings, the
conversations, the beauty......all were among the most special I have ever
experienced. The memories of this beautiful stay will always remain.

Richard and Myrta,
Les Lavandes is truly special. Your
kindness, warmth, and excellent hospitality made for a fabulous weekend.
Sharing stories and memories with the two of you over "Fondue" was so
enjoyable ; it felt like dinner with old friends. Thank you for the little
touches that made us feel so welcome. Coming home to chocolate truffels and a
warm, cozy room was great. I look forward to returning and seeing the new
things you've learned about the B&B and of course, the Fondue. Many thanks.

Richard and Myrta,
Thank you so much for your wonderful
hospitality! It was so nice getting to know both of you, and in Myrta, a
fellow gardener and baker. The shrine is indescribably exquisite. I believe
that there are no coincidences, and that we made a pilgrimage without
consciously planning it.
P.S. The food, the room, the view and the
that tub under the stars were all absolutely wonderful!

This has been exquisite! We have been
pampered and cuddled. Thank you - we needed that! The cuisine is tres bien!
You have shown us we can enjoy Europe, especially Switzerland and France.
Merci beaucoup!

Dear Richard and Myrta,
Thank you for our restful, restorative stay
with you. We know we were led here - our Lord is so good and so wise!
You are well suited for this endeavor. Your welcoming touch is found in all
the lovely details. We will be back to see you, as we felt like friends
already when we arrived! Thank you for the delicious food, the peaceful
location, your special attention to our anniversary, and your warmth.
Fondly, and God bles you, Thomas and Amy

You are the greatest of innkeepers. Your
breakfasts are so delicious as are the "High Teas". And the hospitality is the
best. We enjoyed our hikes on the country roads and Katy Trail. We came for a
weekend - wish we could stay one month. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Richard and Myrta,
Our second visit and what a wonderful
relaxing weekend. Even better than last October. Enjoyed our 2hour hike to the
top of the hill. The Shrine and country side bring peace to the soul. We feel
humbled and refreshed when we have to eave. But we'll return and bring more
friends...or not. We may want to keep this place a secret. Thanks for
everything.

This is so beautiful, beautiful - a
piece of heaven! We love all the lavender and purple. Of course, we are both
artists, of course we love lavender. The view is spectacular. As we awoke at
6:30 this morning we saw the sun rising out of our east window and I ran
outside in my pajamas to take a photo. It was awsome. I saw a painting
everywhere I turned! Thank you for a wonderful visit and a great breakfast.

Myrta and Richard,
After a beautiful wedding we could not have
anticipated anything quite so wonderful as your B&B. It went so far beyond our
expectation that we intend to tell everyone. I know that they need to drop
what they are doing and come here immediately. Thank you and say hello
to my parents.

Dan and I could not have asked for a more
wonderful place to honeymoon. The setting is beautiful, the food scrumptuous
and the hospitality has been absolutely magical. Thank you so much for sharing
your little slice of heaven with us.
Amy Keller, St. Louis, Missouri
Dear Myrta and Richard,
We only get away once a year and we knew it
would be fun but you completely blew us away with your service. Your loving
care of your guests is beautiful and God inspired. You have left me with the
desire to serve others better and with more joy. We can't wait until next
year. We definitely want to come stay again. Next time we will take you up on
the dinner invitation. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Dear Myrta and Richard,
It took 26 years for us to have a 2nd
honeymoon and we couldn't have asked for anything better. The Cottage was
lovely. Your teas are unbelievable and breakfasts tremendous. We will surely
recommend your B&B to any and all we encounter. Your friendliness and
hospitality are beyond compare and will be cherished. We will remember our
weekend with a smile for years. Thank you and God bless!

Myrta and Richard,
What a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere
we found at your place. In this world of hustle and bustle and constant
activity, it is such a pleasure to find a place to get away from it all! The
food was out-of-this-world! I just loved the special touches that made our
stay terrific. We both felt pampered and special. That was due to the hard
work and effort you put into everything. God bless you both!
Gary and Linda Smith, Muskogee, Oklahoma
It takes a special kind of person to open
their home and hearts to "strangers", but you do it with style, grace, and old
world charm. Thank you so much for all the little touches that made our
weekend so wonderful. From the laughs at the table, to the hot tub under the
stars, to the wonderful, wonderful meals. THIS HAS EASILY BEEN THE BEST
B&B WE HAVE STAYED AT. We anxiously look forward to our next visit. Take care
and God bless.
