Summer People

A few of us who live on or by the Lake, in trying to eke out a living, supplement our incomes by taking on odd jobs for the summer folks. One job is home security checks during the winter when the people are not on the lake. ( No, I am not looking for more work!)

The thing is to enter the house, check for heat, water, storm damage,etc. and to report to the owners to give them comfort that all is well. We try not to be obtrusive or prying, yet through. But some things just have to catch your eye.

Like a picture of proud Grandpa whith a six year old angler holding up a massive six inch perch.

Or a wall with pencil marks on it saying things like Tom 1968... and a bit higher, Tom 1969. Next to it is Tom Jr. 1984... and a bit higher, Tom Jr. 1985.

Or a bedroom loft with four little beds in it.

Or a basement room with a white board filled with Red Sox stats.

While you may not be here "off season" I know that you are in your hearts.

'Looks like an early ice out. Can't wait to see ya!

PS. You can drop a hook at my place any time!
