I called my mom yesterday. I wanted to see if she knew anything about this place. She said I've actually been here before, when I was really young. I don't remember any of that.
I tried to ask her again why she never got along with my grandfather but she's so cagey about it. She grew up in a town nearby, and my grandfather didn't move into this house until after my mom left for school. I guess she never really came back.
We talked for a little bit, but my reception here is spotty. She asked me if there's still wine in the cellar and I told her there wasn't a cellar, but she said there is. Down in the basement, off to a corner. After she hung up I went downstairs to look, and she was right.
There's a bunch of old antique stuff in the basement, and behind some filing cabinets there's a dusty little wine cellar. I can't believe I missed it at first. It's full of wine, and some of it is really old. 
There were also these weird wooden wine stoppers all over the place.
From the looks of this, it seems like nobody's been down here for a while. Poor guy.
And look at some of these bottles. I don't know anything about wine. I wonder if they're good? Anyway, at least I have a surplus of alcohol down here to take my mind off how weird things have been lately.
This house keeps surprising me. I keep finding weird shit around the property. Like there's a collapsed shed in the back, a little ways through the trees. It's not that strange, I guess. But I can't help overthinking everything I see now.
A little ways away from the shed, I found this in the middle of a clearing. What is this?
None of it makes sense. And there's something else I found that I can't stop thinking about. There's so much junk around the house, and I'm trying to clean it up. Partly because it'll help this place sell faster, but also to keep my mind off things.
I was sorting through some debris and found these old rusty letters in a pile on the ground, partly under the foundation. I could see some nail holes on the side of the house so I think they were on the house at one point?
I know sometimes people give lake houses names. I can't figure out what they might've said, though. I brought them inside and laid them all out on the kitchen floor to see if I could make sense of them, but no luck so far. Maybe someone else can figure it out?
