Lodge and Legend • Volume 2 • Issue 2

Oh
my goodness, you blink and two years
have flown by in our new home for
Saskatoon. (Well, can you still call the place new
after having been in it for two years?)
The “new” location has afforded us so many
opportunities: a larger restaurant space to serve
more customers, an expanded kitchen to more
efficiently prepare Paleo Meals and an Event Space
that has hosted some many different events.
Yes, the past two years have truly flown by; I
often describe it has “drinking from a firehose!”
In fact,Renee and I are both working as many
hours every day as we have ever worked!
Now, if I was to tell you that in these two past
years, we often get to the restaurant between
8 or 9 a.m. and most days finish work between
midnight to 1 or 2 a.m., you would tell me that I
was crazy! And you would be right, if we were just
doing it for some material thing like money.
But what drives us are the moments with our
teammates and customers, changing clients’ lives
by transforming them with our Paleo Meal Prep
program or creating lasting memories in all the
events in our Event Center.
This issue of Lodge & Legend, shares a portion
of this through the eyes of our customers and
employees. We are truly grateful.
In this issue, you will meet some of these
wonderful “stakeholders”:
• Bob Ellis, a family friend for 60 years and the
architect who designed our new space
• Bob Miller, a local entrepreneur and very good
customer (what else do you call someone who
comes in monthly, or even weekly?)
• Angie Finazzo, a fellow restaurateur, good
friend and advisor who is now heading our
Corporate Events
• Jackie Heintzelman, a Paleo Client and one of
the most disciplined and motivated people I
have ever met and had the honor of serving
• Carrie and Kevin Ballenger, old friends who
allowed us to share their memories when they
got married at Saskatoon…
Thank you to each of them and to you for your
support and patronage, without which, Saskatoon
would not be here today.
As 2019 draws to a close and 2020 begins, I am
truly so grateful for what the good Lord and this
great country has given us—the chance to live a
full life, working hard in an honorable work that
touches people’s lives to make a difference.
May you have a glorious New Year, and I leave you
with this blessing: “May your troubles be less and
your blessings be more and nothing but happiness
come through your door!”
See you at The Lodge,
Edmund, Renee, and the family at Saskatoon
