Up at the Lake: Summer Cottage Memories

As soon as Robert would arrive at the cottage, he would hop out of the family car and go check--

• to see if the bird nest in the pine tree had eggs.

• to see if the lights still worked in the cottage.

• to see if the lake was still there.

• to see if his friend next door had also arrived.
