Back in the early 1900's my grandfather built their summer home on the shores of Lake Michigan in Door county Wisconsin, and gave it a Scottish name of "Bide-A-Wee". When they felt it was getting a little to commercial there they built a new place in the 1920's deep in the northwoods and named it "Rendezvous". My grandmother was French and said it was her turn to name it. About 20 years ago the post office assigned a box number and named the road Scenic Drive. But the old name sign still hangs over the mail box next to the road.
