Lake Traditions

Weekend Pundit · 03-05-2007, 10:27 PM

I am fortunate enough to live in Gilford year round, overlooking the lake from Gunstock Acres. However that doesn't mean that we don't have our own tradition when it comes to the end of the boating season.

At the end of the last trip on the lake before we pull our boat out of the water, we play Don Henley's "Boys Of Summer" on the boat's stereo as we pull in to the docks at Glendale.

It seem like an appropriate song as our summer ends once the boat is on the trailer. That song always fills me with melancholy when I hear it as it expresses the feelings we all have when summer is over.
