New Beginnings at the Lake


I'm  excited to share today about our new lake house! I mentioned briefly that this summer was our last at our original lake house - one that's been in the family for 50+ years but the land is owned by a power company and they had decided a few years ago that at the end of this year all the leases on that road would be up.  We started this summer to embrace our last summer on our quiet (very quiet) little lake.  We had a family weekend with our entire family (rarely happens!) together and had family friends up for one final visit.

At the start of the summer a house went up for sale on the lower road just a short walk away - my parents along with my aunt and uncle moved quickly and a couple weeks later we found out it would be ours!  Two of my aunts/uncles each have houses that weren't affected so all in all we have three houses close by and can continue on our family summers at the lake.  Last week furniture was delivered and this past weekend we got things set up for our first weekend in the new house.  Ironically, this was suppose to be our last weekend in the old house!


In addition to setting up, we had a great weekend with friends.  More on that tomorrow...

Here's to new memories at the lake! xx

  17. Wow sounds like everything worked out in the end because I'm sure properties on that lake don't become available very often. So fun keeping the tradition going and getting to spend the weekend relaxing there with friends.

  18. I'm definitely sad for your family... mostly because the same thing happened to us with a house on Lake George that my grandfather built... and I just think it would be so cool to have those family memories... but I'm glad that it worked out where you can all be nearby!
