I nod off after I kiss Joey. I dream of my wedding to Gloria and wake up. Joey is sound asleep.  I take my cell and walk down the camp grounds so no one can hear me. I call my daughter and ask her to get Lisa on the phone.
Is everything okay?Yes , I  woke up because I had a dream about the day we got married.  I am scared to move on to another marriage knowing it won't be real. I don't want to hurt her. BABE don't worry.I am taking care of that. Our marriage will reflect we got a divorce before I left. When you get married to JOSEFINA RAYMUND and become Mrs.  Raymund it will be legit.  Thank you.  Thank you for the champagne and leaving.  I know this isn't easy for you. I want you to find someone too please.  You have a big heart and deserve to share that.  I don't know if I can do that Isabella you were my one true love for so long. Please try.  I wish I could invite you on Saturday but know it would hurt you too much. Just know that I am always here for you and you will always have a huge piece of my heart.
I use her real name.
I almost forgot my name.  I was GLORIA for so many years. She is awake and looking for me. Mi armor..thanks IZZY. 
BABE why you out here? My cell buzzed and it was Olivia. I didn't want to wake you. Is she okay? Yeah, she just needed reassurance that I will always love her mama even after we get married. Babe I know Gloria was your first love and was the leader of the Irish mob and Patrick O'Doyle just played a convincing part he was the head honcho. Babe you have to remember my brother is a detective.  He looked into you to make sure I would be okay. I know our marriage won't be legal really even though you are a widow.  I am okay with that. I love you for you.  Since we both are wide awake, do you want to rent a boat and do some fishing or look for crabs. Joey there is no place around here that has crabs except for a grocery store or a restaurant.  DING DING. I WANT TO MAKE YOU A CRAB SALAD WITH FRESH BREAD THAT I HAVE IN MY TRUCK . ACTUALLY I HAVE CRAB MEAT IN MY ICE CHEST. THE NEXT DAY WE WILL HAVE CLAM CHOWDER. I KNOW YOU LOVE SEAFOOD SO I BOUGHT SEVERAL VARIOUS SEA CREATURES.  YOU DID YES I DID.  WE LEFT ON THE BOAT THAT JOEY RENTED. WE STAYED OUT THEIR FOR SEVERAL HOURS. JOEY HAD MADE CREPES BEFORE WE LEFT AND WE TOOK THEM AND SOME BACON ON THE BOAT WITH US. JOEY FELL ASLEEP ON.ME AND I JUST PUT THE POLES UP AND DOCKED THE BOAT. I WENT TO A JEWELER STORE AND PURCHASED HER WEDDING RING. JOEY WAS STILL ASLEEP WHEN I BROUGHT OUR LUNCH BACK.  MINESTRONE SOUP WITH ROAST BEEF SANDWICH FOR HER WITH THE WORKS AND FOR ME TURKEY CRANBERRY..J WAKE UP I GOT US LUNCH.  I AM SORRY I FELL ASLEEP ON YOU.  ITS OKAY.  DID WE CATCH ANYTHING? NOPE, SO I PUT THE POLES UP AND DOCKED THE BOAT TO GET US SOME LUNCH. BABE WHAT'S IN YOUR POCKET? OKAY,  I ALSO PICKED UP YOUR WEDDING RING. CAN I SEE IT ? NO,  YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT TIL SATURDAY. WHICH REMINDS ME,  I NEED TO CALL THE GALS, MAXWELL AND KIKI SO THEY DON'T GO MAKING PLANS.  I KNOW JANE RETIRED BUT I AM GOING To ask her to get out of retirement. I also need to ask Maxwell to walk me down the aisle. By the way, your cell was ringing alot so I answered it. It was Antonio.  HE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT TYPE OF FOOD WE WANT. I TOLD HIM MEXICAN FOOD..BABE YOU SURE.  YUP. I GAVE HIM WHAT SPECIFIC I WANTED  YUP.

DO YOU WANT LIVE MUSIC OR A DJ,? I will leave that up to you J. Okay.  J drives us back to the boat rental place and we take our gear and food to our camp site and eat our lunch. BABE HOW BOUT WE TAKE A NAP? You want to sleep more oh my. You getting old before your time babe. Sure, we can do that. Izzy gets undressed and I take off my clothes and we get under the covers.  Babe are you telling me what I think you are and sure you can handle it?
I don't want to hurt you. I PUT ON A CONDOM SINCE I DON'T KNOW IF LISA HAS A STD OR NOT.  I WAS HURT SHE PUT A CONDOM ON BUT UNDERSTOOD.
