Gene’s favorite spot is just a little off campus. Let him explain!
And these cousins, third generation Migis guests, have a variety of favorites. It rather depends on the time of day; completely understandable!
Time to do some more wandering……………….if you have something you’d like to share, come find me!
Mary
Really, she doesn’t have a PERFECT view from her perch, but Deets does get a pretty good sense of what is happening here on yet another beauty of a day on Sebago Lake! A few moments of relative quiet here as almost all our guests have Tykonaed (or kayaked, or swum, or canoed…………) out to Millstone for island cookout lunch. Breezy and sunny out there, water temperature about 70, air temp 86. Does it get any better than this? A few stayed for the comfort of the dining room. Lobster roll, anyone?
A little walkabout yesterday found some kids picking blueberries, Sandy wakeboarding, a fierce pitcher firing them in to Dad, folks shopping the new women’s long-sleeved Ts, a teen reading, kids choosing colors for tie-dye, ladies chatting on the terrace, girls taking a boat out……………..and that is between meals!
Tonight after dinner? Bingo! How many cards would you like? And I said it was relatively quiet here but now Deets is raising a ruckus about something. I’d better go check and see if she has run out of M&Ms……………

That’s one of Scott’s bylines, and no matter how many days he says it, it’s true! What a beautiful summer we’re having. The water temperature in crystal clear Sebago Lake is perfect for jumping in after Lisa’s pilates class this morning, and the skiers and wakeboarders are improving their skills by the minute. And what’s that mystery paddlewheeler out there? Last night’s cocktail party saw renewal of old friendships and the beginnings of new ones. So great to see Jackie and Judy again! And lining up a family of eighteen for a family picture; all the wiggling is part of the fun. Sadie was feeling left out last night so got into the middle of the action.
And this amazing parade of kids! Climbing and hunting and face-painting–the hardest decision sometimes is whether to go in for that late day swim and have that facial art rinse away. The teenagers, too, have been hard at it with capture the flag, their own tie-dying creations, and challenging scavenger hunts (“Where’s Wayne? Where’s Wayne?”).
Stopping by the front desk for a chat with Deets and a preliminary study of tonight’s dinner menu is another daily stop for many, as is taking a little light reading out to the terrace. Hear that hammer? Ian is converting Ye Old Phone Booths to storage for our growing apparel collection. Have you done your Migis shopping yet? The kids are off shopping, via Tykona cruise, for candy. Parents are relaxing with a massage in the new wellness center. This, indeed, is the Best Day Ever!
Time to go. I’d like a refreshing dip today myself…………………
Mary
…but if it were it would come in handy today. The wind is howling out there, and the rain just keeps on coming! Here, a few days ago, is our neighbor further west along 302, in Naples. The Songo River Queen has been stylishly (basic black) wrapped for the winter and will emerge soon for another season of meandering up and down Long Lake. We do have plenty to do (or not do as may be your preference) here at the Lodge, but now and then it’s pleasant to get out and see what else the Lakes Region has to offer!

Scott’s away this week, but Robyn will be happy to answer your reservation inquiries at 207-655-4524 or migis@migis.com. And we are going to assume that this spring rain will make for a lush, flowery and green early summer!
Mary
If you’re waiting to add your guess to the Sebago ice-out pool, it may be that you’re a little late. It’s positively balmy out there today. Lake Auburn was declared officially ice-free on Monday, very early, so can we be far behind? And if you’re having thoughts about some serious summer fishing, why not give Brooke a call? He’ll be happy to show you where they’re biting!

“First boat leaves main dock at noon.” This weekly announcement heralds the launch of a favorite time honored adventure at Migis Lodge, our Wednesday island steak cookout. Mmmm————filets on the grill, potatoes and onions, corn on the cob, watermelon and ice cream———-after you’ve rinsed your fingers in the lake, will you paddle back? Make plans with someone for a tennis match later? Take a ride on the Tykona? Have a long swim in Sebago? Put your feet up for a good book and a nap? The wardrobes may have changed, but the pleasures of a Migis afternoon are still a summer highlight.
Have you spoken with Robyn and Scott about your 2010 reservation?

After the long drive in the car, random thoughts. Did I remember all my stuff? Is my sister going to get there first? Do I need to work on my homework while I’m here? Can I get on Facebook in the lobby? Will we still dare to go swimming? Will my whole family be here tonight? 
What will the adults be wearing for the fancy dinner? Will the pine needles still be all rustly? Will there be new sitters with the little kids? Will I be able to find the Shoot the Moon ball?
Will my favorite place still creak creak when I get there?
Mary, channeling Neil.

Sometimes, a favorite place is indoors at Migis Lodge, behind a knife and fork and over a white tablecloth. Sometimes, it’s outdoors enjoying Sunday morning breakfast under the towering pines.
Sara, visiting with her grandparents this week, offers a couple of HER favorite places, including a now familiar one!

..and no better place to travel the surface than Sebago Lake. At Migis Lodge, generations of waterskiiers have had their first attempts, and multiple successes, right here!
