I can most certainly understand how you feel, WinniSummerGal, about leaving the lake and knowing you're not returning for another year. I used to feel the exact same way until we finally sold our Florida condo and relocated up here year-round. Not a day goes by that we don't say to each other how lucky we are to live here. It's a magical place filled with gorgeous scenery and so much to do. So just remember this Winni prayer:

Like diamonds thy waters,
Like velvet thy trees,
So pure is the air,
So soft is the breeze
That I'm loathe to leave thee, Dear Winnipesaukee,
But to God I implore the grace to return again to thy shores.
