Favorite memory? Asking my wife to marry her there.Keith Raffelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926077627965529183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-1273890477495425692010-07-05T12:18:08.090-04:002010-07-05T12:18:08.090-04:00Lisa- I've never been to Finger Lakes.

(Possibly because we didn't own a car.) <br /><br />My fondest memories of summer were playing baseball in the sandlot, riding our bycycles down country roads as far as we could go, and swimming in the pond.<br /><br />Simple, but boy did we have fun!Darrell Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08394984700734588887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-84582977273635051522010-07-05T10:44:53.499-04:002010-07-05T10:44:53.499-04:00Fern Resort, near Orillia, Ontario.

Not that I'm counting. :D It's family-oriented, and every year we have loads of fun with the kids--and I get in some major writing time. Plus, I don't have to cook or clean anything for seven whole days. Now that's a vacation for mom!Alice Loweeceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269785237562203610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-37992789391054269062010-07-05T10:15:56.577-04:002010-07-05T10:15:56.577-04:00It sounds like a fantastic setting, Lisa!

I lived in Syracuse for a year, and we were always going to the Finger Lakes for fun and recreation. Now, I pretty much chauffeur my kids around the suburbs of Northern VA in the summer--talk about fun!!Alan Orloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695574442723430347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-90413293311784641392010-07-05T06:45:30.025-04:002010-07-05T06:45:30.025-04:00I spent a lot of time at Kentucky Lake in my youth...I spent a lot of time at Kentucky Lake in my youth. Now I spend a lot of time at my own (small) lake in the Missouri Ozarks.<br /><br />So when you told your publisher that you were going to set your stories at the Finger Lakes, was there any objection or concern? I've heard of editors changing locales in fiction in order to avoid potential lawsuits and/or to make the setting more "glamorous" or well known.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
