May has arrived! Flowers are blooming and trees are budding. April was a topsy-turvy month. Some days were unseasonably warm and others unseasonably cold. There was no snow accumulation, but there were a few snow showers toward the end of the month. Well over two inches of rain fell during April. The lake level is as high as it gets at almost 2461 -- just at the upper rule band for May. Boats and docks are lining the shoreline as we prepare for another great summer. I've been driving by Petticoat Junction on my way to softball practice at Loch Lynn fields. They have been having some great sales... if only I wasn't always in such a hurry. We used the batting cages - which are now open for the season - at Smiley's recently. Only pulled a couple muscles, but I can still hit 'em! Santa Fe Grille got a new exterior paint job last month -- a little southwestern color scheme. Looks really nice! Miss Maryland, Cassandra Tressler, was the emcee for a talent show at Broad Ford Elementary last month. So personable and so beautiful! She used to live in the county before moving downstate. They '08-'09 school year in Garrett County will begin before Labor Day after a vote by the school board. Some local business owners were trying to move the date so they would still be able to staff high-school students up to Labor Day. The Honi-Honi is sponsoring a "Deep Creek's Got Talent" show on June 21st. All proceeds will benefit the Lion's Club Blind Skier program. Showcase your talent, or join in the judging. Sounds like fun either way! Decorator's Nook is now selling a full line of Bella Taylor handbags. Move over Vera Bradley... Bill's Outdoor Center continues their Family Fishing Tours this year, but they've also added a Fishing 101 class to teach the fundamentals of fishing. Dave and Karen Kuntz emailed to say they recommend Corinne Lehman of Easy Living for You "without reservation for your vacation home needs." My favorite part of the email was that they found her on Deep Creek Times! :-) Grand Central Station is having a pre-season patio sale this month. Up to 50% off retail! We welcome Brud and Cindy Story to the neighborhood. They have finally sold their home in the city and will reside full time in their previous "weekend home." Living the dream! Did you know you can get designer stuff in Garrett County? That's right, Studio 24e in Oakland sells Dolce & Gabanna, Versace and more! Our own little Rodeo Drive on Alder Street! If you are looking for a nice walk, head over to Alpine Lake! You can park at the Lodge and walk the whole way around the lake. And, when you are finished, stop back at the Lodge for a nice lunch. So beautiful and peaceful -- and everybody waves to you! Pine Lodge has opened their upstairs dining room for lunch, now. Order from the saloon menu or the dinner menu! The results of ASCI's Teva Running Series Tax Day 5K are available here. There are also some pictures and a pretty cool video. Crews have been busy laying sewer lines along Deep Creek Drive. A bit of a nuisance and even a bigger, muddy mess, but I think they are close to being done. Take a tour online of the new library at Garrett College. The facility is open to the public and not just for students. Speaking of the college... I did notice some surveying trucks near where the proposed new athletic facility is to be located. Could have been a coincidence... could be some action! I've heard that reservations are up 10% this year for the summer. Good news! If you haven't made you summer reservations, you may want to get on it. Until next month. See you on the mountain!
