10/07/19 - On 10/4, Anne, Laura and David are morning people and I am not so they would have morning coffee and go for a long walk and I would leisurely get up, take a shower, get dress and then head upstairs for the day.  I had left over pizza for an early lunch since we had tickets for a paddle wheeler boat taking us across the lake to Emerald Bay.  It was chilly but a wonderful two hours and lots of beautiful scenery.  On the bay, was a castle which looked beautiful.  We paddled around an small island and on top, the owner had built a little tea house but only the stone frame of the tea house was standing.  A beautiful day.  We then went to a wine tasting place that was right on the lake.  It was beautiful.  We sat instead for a while and then decided that we really could probably go outside with a gas fire pit.  It was beautiful and the downstairs patio was right on the water.  I have attached two pictures:

In the evening, we went to a restaurant called Fire and Ice and David treated us for all of our birthdays.  Anne is in November.  It was kinda the idea of a Japanese Steak house were they cooked in front of you but here you got a bowl and filled it with whatever you wanted to eat and then you added whatever sauce that you want and take it to the center of the restaurant where there are two guys who will cook your food as you watch!!  You then take your plate to the table.  It was really delicious and interesting to watch the two cooks.  A new experience and was wonderful.  We then went back to the townhouse and watch "Rocketman" which is the life of Elton John.  Wonderful day and off to bed.
