Another Season, More Memories

The Spring continues to play games with the mind in the Lakes Region.
Today it's mostly sunny but when the sun hides behind a cloud the temperature seems to drop about ten degrees. The air is warm, almost Summerlike for a few moments, then it snaps with an Autumn feeling.
And life is as unpredictable as the weather.
There's a kind of lovely nervous energy this time of year, watching shopkeepers and restaurateurs running around with their ambitious plans for the Summer.
Then news that another local business has closed its doors, unable to even make it through to the lucrative Summer season.
This week, schools are on their Spring break so kids are everywhere. We stopped to rejoice over one babe's face to her mom's delight.
When we finally walked away and out of the store, she explained her momentary absence to her husband and son. "Baby fans," she said, explaining her delay in the family's special code.
A few weeks back, an older man who lives in Massachusetts but vacations in New Hampshire called and offered to make a significant investment in our company. He'd heard about our book and wanted a copy, but said he'd made a lot of money in investments during his lifetime and liked to help out smaller operations where he could now that he was older.
What's the expected return? The ROI, we asked him.
"I just want you to do something that will bless people," he said.
We would do that, we promised.
But a week or more passed, and no check had arrived. So we called him.
And he confessed that he'd had a stroke ten years ago and wasn't allowed to write checks from his own fortune anymore. In fact, he didn't even remember promising to send us a check.
We both laughed.
In a few weeks, the warm weather will be here. That's almost guaranteed.
But there will still be some rain.
It comes no matter what time of year, or life, it is.
