There’s something about waking up, peering out the window, and gazing out across a lake that just makes the day start off great! It doesn’t hurt that just three doors down in Cabin #7 Bev has eggs, bacon, and toast cooking for anyone hungry for breakfast.
First item on the agenda after breakfast today was the purchase of fishing licenses and bait. The fish got fed well off the dock this morning with the catch and release method of fishing. What was funny was that the kids (who didn’t need to purchase a license to fish) caught the most fish. It was such a delight to see their faces light up and hear their squeals when reeling in each fish. They all picked up on casting and became pros. I had great fun “catching” their expressions in pictures.
I got to do one of my favorite relaxing pastimes (after my first favorite pastime of photographing my vacation): sitting on the deck overlooking the lake, reading a good book, and sipping my coffee. While sitting there, Dave (THE Famous Dave) drove up and extended an invitation to come hear him speak at his restaurant. Bev and I went over and listened to his motivational speech that he was giving to some 70 realtors and bankers assembled to hear the advice from this multi-millionaire.
Back at the cabins, Bev was in her kitchen (again) preparing quesadillas for our lunch. I taught everyone how to wave a pizza pan at the smoke alarm to get it to stop beeping. Thankfully, Bev will be teaching everyone what she does best with a pizza pan tomorrow!
Out on the pontoon boat, we took another tour around the lake; and then the kids cooled off in the water before we got ready for dinner. For our meal tonight, we were guests of Dave Anderson at his original Famous Dave’s Restaurant which he built 15 years ago. Dave ordered the feast for all of us consisting of the best ribs, brisket, corn muffins, coleslaw, BBQ baked beans, corn on the cob, BBQ chicken, and fries. To top it off (as if eating with THE Famous Dave at the Original Famous Dave’s is not enough), his bread pudding is a melt-in-your-mouth delicacy not found anywhere else.
Following the fabulous feast, several members of our part
y as well as some of Dave’s family and staff met in a conference room on site for an Internet Marketing meeting. Brainstorming and picking the brains of top Internet Google experts is energizing as well as inspirational. We adjourned some three hours later to meet the rest of our group back at the cabins who were sitting around the bonfire.

We’re looking forward to more of the same tomorrow.
