Stories from Lakeside

At the end of the week we’ll be heading for our summer home at Lakeside on Lake Erie, a Chautauqua community. We’ll be reversing the days of summer that we had all those years when we were both employed, which was work four days, take a day of vacation and spend three at the Lake. Now we’ll play three weeks, come home to attend to details for a few days, and go back to more play. It's a tough life being a DINK living in a NORC.

I look forward to reading your Lakeside stories. The pastor at the Lutheran church in which I was raised spent time at Lakeside and would share his stories.

Although Lakeside is considered "Methodist" the Lutherans have had 2 weeks each summer, and there are many Lakeside Lutherans going back 100 years. We have found their programming to be much less flaky and not as liberal as the United Methodists. Apparently the Salvation Army also used to have regular meetings on the grounds.
