The ice is gone! It offically went out on May 3rd - boaters can now go from the upper landing to Arvins' dock. It was exciting to see the ice changing quickly - it began to open up and move about on May 1st - but didn't 'let go' of its' winter grip until May 3rd. One lucky winner is now $16.00 richer!
Now that the lake is open - other folks are returning to the isalnd. Tater arrived at his cabin yesterday and will be here until November. Other folks will begin arriving to spend weekends or spend a few days here and there.
With all that said - Ernie and I have come full circle with our adventure. We now have lived at our cabin through all four seasons. Our winter and 'break-up' experience will forever remain a very special and magical time for us.
Folks have asked us if we'd do it again? Yes - there is no doubt that we'd do it again.

| We have begun construction of the greenhouse -- and I'm Ernie's number one crew-hand. This is my first experience working directly on a building project. I never knew so much detail went into 'squaring' a building. |

| The ice finally went out in front of our cabin! Ernie and I spent a couple of hours getting the boat ready for its' first crossing. |
