It had been a long winter made all the more difficult by COVID restrictions for wealthy real estate investors Gary Spohr and Wendy Wood, who in 2021 found themselves unable to travel or welcome friends to the $3.5 million home they had built on Lake Tahoe in Homewood, Calif., for their retirement. But on June 5, 2021, the couple were able to enjoy a day of boating with their favorite guests — their 8-month-old and 3-year-old grandsons. The couple’s daughter Erin Spohr, 39, arrived with the boys behind schedule, cutting short their time on the lake, but that didn’t matter to Wendy, 68, as she walked back to the house that evening hand in hand with the toddler while Gary, 70, cooked dinner for the group.
