Damon, Linda, & I got up to the lake Friday eve, May 7 through the rain & snow after stopping at the Oneida Village for supper. Friday eve we started the water softener and water heater, turned up the thermostat, made beds, built a fire, fiddled with the unresponsive tv satellite, played Rummy Royal, etc. Saturday morning showed some snow accumulation from Friday with snow showers continuing some Sat. morn. On Sat. we all pitched in and continued "opening" up the cottage (dusting, cleaning toilets & sinks, removing plastic from the porch, changing out the storms for screens on some doors and windows, cleaning the eve troughs, picking up big sticks, removing the well straw covering, removing the mailbox milk can & post, etc.). We saw the bears for the first time that evening. We also played Trivia Pursuit and made s'mores in the fireplace. Sunday, we raked the lawn, and when Laura showed up played Fish cards before she and Damon went home. After they left, the bears showed up again.
