“Hey there.” Sylvia and Pat walked around from the side. “When you get settled, Pat and I would like to talk to you two.” She smiled and pushed Uncle Patrick back to the side of the cabin.

His feet met the ground in front of her “I missed you.” He kissed her again. “A lot!”

“I missed you too, you smell like a homeless man, again.”

“I told you, we slept on the plane. There’s no shower on the plane.” He pulled her into his side, “let’s go shower, get some lunch. Maybe some dessert.” His hand found her butt, giving it a squeeze.

He opened the screen and watched her walk in, “You go shower, I’ll make lunch.” She suggested.

“Sounds good.”

Wolfgang

He bundled his clothes and grabbed Junipers from the floor, walking them downstairs to be washed, one last time before they left, “Hey.” Sylvia looked up from the couch.

June’s eyes followed him and the bundle of clothes, “Thank you.”

He stuffed them in the washing machine and started it. “So,” He padded around the couch and sat next to Juniper, “What's everyone been up to?”

“Okay Pat, will you go get it?” Sylvia patted his knee for encouragement.

He groaned standing up, “The whole box?”

“Yes.” She set down her book and shifted to the edge of the cushion.

Pat entered their bedroom momentarily before closing the door behind him with a large box under his arm. “Okay. This was Syl’s idea but I support it.” He set the box down on the carpet in front of them.

They looked down looking at two full face helmets, “I talked to Syl about our trade and she was worried about your three hour ride back into Sacramento, figuring these would help you get to the airport safely.”

“Thank you.” June looked across the room at Sylvia sincerely.

“Oh, there’s more in there, under the helmets, it’s more for your mom and Amy.”

Wolfgang picked up his helmet, seeing a small box with recipes on the side. Pat spoke, “That’s your grandmother's recipe box, figured your mom would like that. There’s a box of her and Amy’s trinkets in there, I never had the heart to toss and a photo album, we made copies of all the pictures. Just something I wanted to send back with you.”

“Wow, this is all great, thank you guys.” Wolfie smiled at them both.

“Wolfgang, let's go look over the title for the car,” Pat bobbed his head towards the back door.

The dirt crunched under their feet on the way to the workshop, the door opened and Wolfgang saw the paper on the hood of the car, “I need you to sign this, saying you sold it to me but I also wanted to give you this as well,” he pulled a small box out of the interior pocket of his vest. “It was our mother’s and you can give it to Marilyn but in case you wanted to,” He cleared his throat, “well propose with it, I didn’t want to ruin that for June. Son, don’t be stupid, girls can’t wait forever and Juniper is a pretty good girl.”

“That’s the plan.” Wolfie smirked looking at the ring.

“I figured as much, seeing you come all the way back here for someone who wouldn’t remember who the hell you were.”

July Twenty Third

Wolfgang

Wolfgang ‘Mom, we’re on our way to the airport, Pat and Sylvia will see us off there, I love you.’

Wolfgang ‘Jay, we’re on our way, should be there on time. See you soon.’

He tucked his tablet between their clothes, Pat and Sylvia had agreed to follow them to the airport since Zeppelin didn’t fit on the bike.

The sun was starting to rise and Juniper had finished getting herself ready, “Are you about ready?” She looked at him.
