We've seen lots of "see you next year" or "is anybody left" threads.

I'm left, because I live here. Who else?

camp guy · 11-25-2013, 09:15 PM

riverat · 11-26-2013, 06:28 AM

I'm here in Alton year around and soon to be using my seasonal house on Alton Bay. I mean "on" Alton Bay, near the Gazebo. Hope to have 2 Bobhouses out there this year, so as always "Forum Members" stop in and have a hot beverage and set a spell.

BroadHopper · 11-26-2013, 07:13 AM

Born, raised and retired in the area. I do spend time in Breckenridge in the winter. You have to love the four seasons.

raydoe1 · 11-26-2013, 07:15 AM

I live here year round and love it.

I like winter as much as the summer.

Never bored always something to do year round.

Chaselady · 11-26-2013, 07:25 AM

Summer resident for 30 years, then retired here 2 years ago. Love it year round, except maybe during mud season!

WeirsBeachBoater · 11-26-2013, 09:01 AM

Been here in person since 1997 in spirit since 1975.

Slickcraft · 11-26-2013, 09:31 AM

It depends on the definition of here.

West Alton is here right now and Welch is over there. After ice out the then here will be Welch the over there here will be the now here.

Duke's · 11-26-2013, 10:02 AM

We've been coming here our whole lives and have owned property for 20 years. We retired in February and moved here full time. We're loving it. So happy to be away from the madness of MA.

Jeanzb1 · 11-26-2013, 10:39 AM

This is our first winter here! We sold our Florida condo and bought a home in Gilford and are now here year-round. YIPPEEE!!! We couldn't possibly be happier! The only glitch is that husband Art had knee replacement surgery last week and has to repeat this whole surgery in late Dec. for Knee #2. But we woke up to about an inch of snow this morning -- a picture postcard! I'll keep the fireplace blazing all day long! This is really an awesome place to now be able to call HOME!

Gatto Nero · 11-26-2013, 12:33 PM

Full timer for over two years now.

CateP · 11-26-2013, 12:36 PM

As most know I am a year-round resident of Wolfeboro. Work from home for a multi-national company. Sail when there is wind. Pontoon and do watercolors when there is no wind. Love all seasons. Active with Village Players theatre and making my directorial debut in the Spring play ..."Death and Taxes." (murder mystery, comedy with audience participation, just in time for tax season)

Love working and living here all year (except for our little jaunt down to St. John U.S.V.I. in February)

Duke's, I just noticed that you are fairly new to posting on the forum and glad you have joined us. Have fun and enjoy the Winni Forum while making many new friends.

Thanks for joining the forum. How is that retirement life treating you and the wife???

Misty Blue · 11-26-2013, 01:56 PM

We're still underway up in Braun Bay! Life is not exactly easy up here but if you make up your mind to breathe it in every day and NEVER take her for granted the Lake will pay you back with the Smile of the Sprit.

My Lake Brothers are closing in on my wake!

Misty Blue.

Retirement is great! Actually, I'm the wife. Thanks for the welcome!

Wolfeboro 7/24 365

Merrymeeting · 11-26-2013, 09:25 PM

Well into year 2 being here full time, and loving every minute. Assuming the eastern end of Merrymeeting Lake, off Kings Highway, counts as "here"

gravy boat · 11-26-2013, 09:31 PM

Never looked back!

whalebackpoint'r · 11-27-2013, 06:52 AM

Checked the local obits and didn't see my name listed, so I'm still here.

WakeboardMom · 11-27-2013, 09:37 AM

3 nights a week year 'round, lakefront in M'boro. Had a great time watching the crazy waves last Sunday!

We'll put our Christmas tree on the dock this weekend. If you're going over the bridge on your way to Long Island, look to your left and you'll see it!

PaugusBayFireFighter · 11-27-2013, 12:43 PM

Hopefully only days from retiring. After years of summers at the lake I am excited to soon be a full time Laconia resident. Waking to the sound of loons and the sunrises on Paugus Bay is something I will never get tired of.

jeffk · 11-27-2013, 06:29 PM

Here in Moultonborough and Center Harbor.

Cindido · 11-27-2013, 08:42 PM

We're here in Alton Bay year round!

Winnisquamguy · 11-28-2013, 08:06 AM

In Sanbornton year round now.

MaidenCove07 · 11-28-2013, 10:44 PM

Wish I could, but until I win the Lottery, I have to be a weekender only.

Whimsey · 11-30-2013, 10:24 AM

Greene's Basin Girl · 11-30-2013, 10:45 AM

Moultonborough year round ( except for winter vacations ).

Harry513 · 11-30-2013, 12:47 PM

I live here full time as of this past Friday. Dream come true!

Music Man · 11-30-2013, 01:20 PM

We are in Wolfeboro year round, but we're out of state right now to welcome our third grandchild, enjoy the holidays with our kids, and hopefully sell the house there.

dykg · 11-30-2013, 03:44 PM

I want to live there. Someday

Smokienorm · 11-30-2013, 04:54 PM

We are now here in Gilford year round.

DickR · 11-30-2013, 05:55 PM

After 35 years of "coming home" on Friday night and driving back to "the other place" Sunday night, we retired in 2010, built a better house for year-round living here, and realized "the dream." Even now, if we are out on the road locally on a Sunday night, we resist the urge to shout out the window of the car to others: "We're not on the way home - we live here!"

Legionnaire70 · 11-30-2013, 09:03 PM

42 years and counting! Born in Wolfeboro!

Lakesrider · 12-01-2013, 09:41 AM

Still livi'n in the house in Moultonborough and a slip at Quayside Yacht club. Working in Wolfeboro.........year round.

MeredithMan · 12-01-2013, 04:04 PM

Been around as a part-timer since the days of shag carpet and lava lamps, (of course, I was only 12 then...

), but we're there as full-timers in our hearts and minds.

Plumberswife · 12-01-2013, 10:04 PM

Here every other weekend and a day or two during the week. I was an Eldredge. My Family has been there since the late 1700's.

Diver Vince · 12-02-2013, 10:54 AM

Retirement is great..Here for all the holidays than off to a warmer and sunnier environment.

If your family has been continuously occupying the same cottage/home on the lake since the 1700s, you may have taken the title from mneck1814, whose family has been in the same home/cottage since 1814. See thread attached.
