With the boys home over the Thanksgiving holidays and throughout the busy Fall, we jotted down some words of wisdom from the boys. We hope these expressions of gratitude, made possible by your support, inspire YOU!

Out of the mouth of boys...

“I was so excited when I saw my room because the bed had an actual mattress. The last place I lived; the mattress was like an inch thick. The first thing I did when I walked in was just lay down on that mattress.”

- 14-year-old, new resident

 

“I’d like to point out that he has gotten a lot more mature in the past few weeks.”

- Newly turned 15-year-old about an even more newly turned 15-year-old

 

“I’m just going to wear my homecoming suit for a while to break it in.”

- 17-year-old, secretly appreciating how handsome he looks

 

“Hey Siri, what causes chaffing?”

- 17-year-old justifying a baby powder purchase at the pharmacy

 

“I can’t say I’ve ever had better!”

- Newly 17-year-old when asked about his birthday celebration

 

“I’ve become wiser and more discerning. I’m learning.”

On behalf of Bald Ridge Lodge staff and all our young men, thank YOU for making this home special!
