Sarah jumps up from the couch, "Yes, Sam! Let's go!"

"What's the score?" Pam yells from the kitchen where she's putting the finishing touches on their supper.

"Sam just scored on a header to put the Courage ahead in the 7th minute."

"Who are they playing tonight?"

"Sky Blue."

"Sky Blue?"

"Basically, New Jersey."

"Oh. Supper's ready."

"Okay, I'll be right out." Standing up, she waits for a break in play before heading to the kitchen and filling her plate with some of the roast, veggies and potatoes that have just come out of the oven. "This looks and smells amazing, Mom!"

Pam smiles, "Your father always enjoyed a nice roast."

Sarah chuckles and nods. "That he did. You're going to have to write down all of these recipes and instructions for all the food you make, so that one day I can make the same for my family."

"A roast isn't that complex, Sarah."

"I know, it's just, I want to make it the way you do, not the way someone on the internet says to make it."

Pam smiles and nods, "You best be getting back to watching the game, it sounds like it's a good one."

Sarah walks over and places her plate down on the table, pulling out a chair and turning towards her Mom. "I can hear the game in here; I'd like to sit at the table and eat with you tonight, rather than off that old tv tray stand."

Sarah and Pam spend the next while chatting about all sorts of things until Sarah phone starts ringing in the other room. "Sorry!" Getting up she looks at the screen and then answers, "Hello?"

"Perfect! Can you deliver it tomorrow?"

"Yes. Okay, I'll meet you there at 9. Just send me an invoice for what I owe."

"Okay, sounds good."

Sarah returns to the kitchen all smiles and retakes her seat. "Dad's motorcycle is all tuned up and ready to go."

"Are you planning on riding it?"

Sarah nods, "I am. Now, that it's roadworthy I'm going to take it out for some day trips, basically, just to get used to riding again and plot the trip across the States once things are better."

"How does your wife feel about you riding a motorcycle?"

Sarah chuckles, "Abs, isn't thrilled with the idea, however, she understands that it's important to me and made me promise that I'd only ride during daylight in bright colours."

Pam chuckles, "So no black leather jacket then, huh?"

Sarah shakes her head, "Not unless I wear a safety vest. I'm not a big fan ordering clothes online, but I took a chance and ordered an orange and black Harley jacket from the dealership in Concord as well as a new helmet. I figured they'd be here before the bike was ready, but the mechanic wasn't busy and got right to it. Sounds like it was pretty well maintained for a bike in a storage unit."

Pam chuckles, "Brian used to work on it every chance he got. He thought I didn't know, but I did and was fine with it because he deserved it. Are you planning on keeping it at the unit?"

"For now, yes. Once things open back up, I think I'm going to have someone come and either rebuild that old shed or perhaps have a fresh one built to store it in. I can't very well leave it in the driveway at the moment as that's a theft waiting to happen."
