My folks have now moved to the Lake full time. But when their house was seasonal, my Dad and I would spend a long weekend openning the house for the season. We would putter around the house, putting out all the porch furniture and cleaning up any debris that fell during the winter, taking off the skylight covers and the chimney cover, etc.. Every evening we would go for a boat ride around Meredith Bay, and through the channel at the Weirs. Then off to dinner somewhere in the area. It was alot of fun, except for the year I got elected to go into the Lake in the first week of May to retrieve the flag pole that ended up in the lake from the end of the dock. Talk about COLD!!!! Now that they are there all year we try to ski a couple times a winter, and we play golf for that long weekend at the beginning of the season.
