Russ : It looked marvelous , smelled grrrrrrrrate and tasted , out of this world. When we were done I told Mer that Clay hadn't exaggerated at all. I was done in . I thanked her for the banquet and said I needed some sleep and to leave the dishes the maid would do them. I gave her a choice of rooms , or she could have use of the guest cottage, it was up to her. I would help her with the luggage, now of later. I didn't really have to give her a tour or anything . She and Clay had been here often and she new how things worked. I waited for her to tell me what she wanted to do.

Mer: I'll just stay in the guest house. I needed to work off some of breakfast, so I could get my own stuff.
