SO OUR AUNT NOTICES A GUY OUT ON HER TRAMPOLINE IN THE LAKE...:
What to Know About Lake Winnipesaukee (Meghan Kiesel, 7/03/12, ABC News)
The Romneys aren't the only interesting thing about Wolfeboro, N.H. or Lake Winnipesaukee, however. There's plenty to know about this quiet little lakefront town:"Winnipesaukee," a Native American word, means "smile of the great spirit" or "beautiful water in a high place," both of which seem fitting names for this idyllic town.The population of Wolfeboro is a mere 6,296, and the town's largest single employer is the local school district.Dr. Leo Marvin's ruined family vacation in "What About Bob" is set in Lake Winnipesaukee, but those portions of the film were actually shot in Virginia, not New Hampshire.Lake Winnipesaukee is also referenced in the beginning of Thornton Wilder's play, "Our Town." -- While not set there, some scenes from "On the Golden Pond" were shot on Lake Winnipesaukee. Ernest Thompson, the author of the play that inspired the movie, now lives there.Jimmy Fallon has mentioned on his show, "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," that he has vacationed in the area.
...and she asks him if he's staying with the neighbors. He says: "Yes, they're my in-laws." So she says, "Feel free to use the trampoline then."
She comes back in the house and the younger folk have to explain to her who Jimmy Fallon is.
