We were up early and all took no more than five minutes as couples. Maura use garbage bag and wrapped it up with tape so my cast wouldn't get wet. We were the first ones because they knew I would take longer getting dried and dressed. 

Babe your bruises and abrasions are gone. Yes just wish this cast was. It will be eventually as long as you do what your suppose to do and not take chances.  It's our turn to cook breakfast.  I say some white egg omelets with mushrooms, cheese, bacon , spinach and onions with some sour dough bread and coffee and some cantaloupe.  Sounds perfect.  I will cut up everything and you cook the omelets. Not a problem Maura.

We got everything out.  Jane started crying when she was cutting up the onions and Eric asks if she was in pain.

Eric no its the onions. (Tears were coming down her face. I wiped them with a napkin and she continued.  It was still cold outside so Eric and Olivia set up the white plates inside. The pot of coffee was brewing and Jane finished cutting everything up and I took over making the omelets as she was toasting the sour dough bread with butter.  She finished up and placed the toast with several types of jelly out for everyone.   She started cleaning up when Dorothy and baby girl came out.  Maura had the six omelets done on the grill inside pretty quickly.

Breakfast for champions is ready. Okay Maura.  Bring your plates so I can put an omelet on your plate. Baby girl please pour everyone coffee. The creams and sugar are on the table already.  Okay mom. I know we normally don't pray anymore but this morning we are.

My mother started.
God thank you for allowing me to be here with family yes Eric your family too
Thanks Jane. Please keep us safe and we don't see coyotes, bears, snakes or bees. I know we have a doctor here but I am enough for her to worry about.  Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

We all started eating and drinking.   Mom I am going to rent a fishing boat Dorothy is having it delivered to the lake. They should be bringing the keys by.  We don't want you to have to worry sitting on the ground or in a chair . Thank you.  They will be bringing more ice too and fresh bait.

While we are cleaning the man brings the boat instead with the ice. Dorothy tells the man she didn't have a attachment it they were aware.  He said this truck would work. Jane speaks up.

Is this how you do business with women trying to get over.  No mam than why did you not leave at the lake?They wouldn't allow me. I figured if you don't want to unhook the truck, I will drive it back and you all follow me. There will be an  extra charge.  Julianne did you sign a contract on line? Yes . Sir do you have the contract with you? I have a copy . Please let me see it.

He hands it to my mother. She reads it quickly.  He hasn't seen Eric because Eric left for a jog with Olivia.

Sir you will not charge her extra and per this contract it states the person who transports it will make sure all is done correctly basically.  If you charge her extra you would bring going against the contract. Is this your business? Yes.  I am a criminal lawyer and if you do not take the boat there, I will sue you personally and I will win and own several boats for free when I am done.  I will take it.
Hey Jane what is wrong? Nothing now.  Okay. Auntie I thought the boat was going to be waiting for us? It is now. Sir we will follow you.

 Sir we will follow you
