Newcomers/Longtimers April 2019
”As you grow older, you will
discover that you have two
hands – one for helping yourself,
the other for helping others.”
Audrey Hepburn
The natural beauty of Camden County has awed and inspired visitors for 200 years since early American explorers first set foot in the region. Old Kinder-hook, a centerpiece of all that lake life offers in mid-Missouri, shares its name with a moniker bestowed on Martin Van Buren, the na-tion's eighth presi-dent. Its appeal has endured two centu-ries of change, first as a cattle ranch that would attract settlers to relish its natural splendor with church services, picnics, games and fishing on Sundays. Then it emerged as a spectacular setting at the heart of the state’s larg-est lake in 1931. Today, Old Kinderhook is a year-round attraction for visitors and a year-round home to those who can't resist its appeal. It is also host to the Newcomers Longtimers 25th anni-versary Home Tour on Saturday, May 18. This year's tour will include 7 homes, plus a bonus villa owned by Old Kinder-hook. Two of the homes, or cottages, are all on one level in consideration of the home tour patrons who would pre-fer not to climb stairs to a second or even third level.
It truly does take a group of enterpris-ing and dedicated women (and their spouses) to make the home tour a real-
ity. If you have not yet volunteered to work the home tour, please do so and be part of this proud tradi-tion for our 25th anniversary. We only need a few hours of your time and as those who volunteer
every year will tell you, the home tour is both a bonding and worth-while experience. If you cannot work the day of the home tour, please sign your name to the platinum circle for just $25. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Claudia Thomas at 319-329-0880. She is sitting by the phone waiting for your call. If you would like to sign the plati-num circle please contact Mary von Hoff at 573-280-4805.

Pastimes-Travel-Crafting-Nascar & Ancestry.com TRAVEL--see the USA & beyond was
always on my life long bucket list.
Loving the southwest we originally bought in the Sandia foothills of Placitas, New
Mexico in 1995 that was expected to be our "Retirement Home". We had the thought
of “no, we don't want to live where it snows a lot.” After several starts and stops we
both retired in 2009. In 2013 our vacation to Dallas TX, we saw so much green grass
and water. John still had living on the water on his bucket list. So we got a realtor and
started making offers but fortunately we were outbid. I said "just find us a place at
Lake of the Ozarks" By that next evening we had placed an offer "sight unseen" for our
current home from an online listing.
So we re-retired to beautiful Lake of the Ozarks. We literally count our blessings every
day that we chose this path. This lake area is all about the best of our good old USA
and the best of our people. Life on the lake is good even though l don't swim. But I
spend more time than John does on the dock fishing. Love watching soap operas,
playing solitaire and entertaining family and friends at the bar plus yelling at the TV
when Kyle Busch-Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr crash each other. Now my favorites are
Chase Elliott and Austin Dillon.
Hello, my name is Renee Bounds. My husband and I moved to Osage Beach full
time June 2018. We left our country life in St. Joseph, MO, with horses, cows,
chickens, dogs, cats and gardens for a much simpler way of life at the lake. Besides
and time in the kitchen creating new dishes. I also love to play and teach Mah
Jongg. I’m grateful to call Lake of the Ozarks my home.
