It started as a dream with Teri. She had been going to Coventry Lake since she was little. Her Grandma Betty and Grandpa Pete had a house on the lake and she spent long summer days and overnights there. She learned to swim in the lake. Bonded with her cousins. Her father bought a piece of land (225 Avery Shores) and built a cottage just down the street from there. Teri has told me that some of her fondest memories originate on/around the lake. Many years ago she told me that she wanted to live on the lake. She wanted to buy her Grandmother's lake house, but we weren't able to do that. When Peg and Jim, Teri's mom and dad, offered to sell us their property, we jumped at the chance. So here we are. This house is one that Jim built, except now it has a large hole in the roof where the tree fell on it. Our first tasks are to get the land surveyed, and to demolish the house and garage.
