Jane and OSG and I booked the Lake Coeur d’Alene dinner cruise…we ended up getting the Mish-a-nock, which is the largest of the several boats, not our favorite, because it is sooooo stable: we prefer the little ones that rock about a bit—but we had practically sole possession of the upper deck, with its bar, on a partly cloudy, windy night. WE, being native, had hauled out some serious coats—knee length wool for Jane and me, a down-fill for OSG—and we were snug as bugs up there on the bow, at a table by the front rail: the Mish-a-nock has real glassware and tableware and plates, a good thing, since we had to weight down the cloth napkins or collect them AND the tableware from the deck. I’m talking gale, here…<\/p>\n
We had salmon and prime rib; and green beans; and cheesecake; and lots of chardonnay; and the music was actually nice. We were snug and comfortable, while the bottom deck was, well, lighted so you couldn’t see the shoreline or the beautiful sunset and the moon rise and set…We, upstairs under the open sky, did.<\/p>\n
So a fine time was had by all. OSG gave me a great pirate shirt, an Admiral’s brass plaque for my bedroom door, (I have kind of a nautical theme going, and two garden lights, and Jane, who wasn’t supposed to give me anything but Seishi, gave me some kitchen spatulas (we needed them), a Kenpachi keychain, and an Ichigo action figure. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
It was marvelous! Good friends, water under us, Chardonnay, good food, high wind, and prezzies—how can you beat it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
