    Chapter 8

    I'm sure the relationship between Roger and Jon only mimics the relationship between two people who are truly devoted to each other. It happens when one partner puts the happiness of the other partner as a priority. I think you already know this

    It's done one step at a time. Jon has the sea as his play ground.

    Yes, not everyone wants to swim in the sea

    Chapter 9

    I started to advertise in more magazines. I advertised under the name of the Hotel Coquina and Motel Coquina, offering fishing as an activity. As bookings began to increase, I bought another car to provide transportation between the Motel and the airport. My staff had increased, and I was becoming well known in town. It seemed I was a very successful man and Jon, being my partner, was just as successful. I received a letter from Mr. Metendorf. The Lodge was taken off the market. They reconf

    No, this is a simple love story.

    You are welcome. Unlike my other stories this story is being created as I post.

    Chapter 7

    Jerry is a local boy that wasn't university material, Roger and Jon hired him for the grounds crew. Jon became Jerry's idol and Jon took him on as a the first of his fishing crew.

    Possibly, the motel and Jon's fishing enterprise will keep Roger busy for now

    Chapter 7

    Roger's decision, with Jon's agreement, not to buy the lodge and invest at home will prove a wise decision

    It seems to keep Jon happy and also Roger, indirectly

    Roger went through hell with Joseph and now he is going through Valhalla with Jon

    Chapter 8

    For the next few days, I composed advertisements for the Drake. I needed pictures, and Jon had his ideas of the type of pictures. He posed on the bow, I laughed. If I had a Viking costume, I knew he would want to pose in that costume. They went fishing to see what type of fish lived in the waters close to the Hotel, so he said. For the next two weeks, Jon, Jerry, and one of the boys from the ground crew went fishing. We started to have fish on our menu for lunch and dinner. A few of ou

    You are right, I'd walk away as well. We need Jon's input before Roger makes a decision, but you know what it will be.

    No, sorry. I spent time in England and most of the pubs had apartments above the pub where the owner lived. I just incorporated that in my story.

    There are a lot of Joseph's in this world. Men who remain as a boy. Looking for the thrills, reminding themselves they are still desirable. Live for today because tomorrow we die, Joseph's motto

    I think that loading the ski business was what hurt the lodge the most. Didn't seem like it was coming back.

    I don't think it would be a paying business. Roger had a good idea but sometimes they aren't feasible.

    This author agreed with you. Jon said to pass it up

    Chapter 7

    Arriving back at Coquina, Jon wanted to know all about the trip after welcoming me home in a most delightful way. Three hours later I told him about my trip. I mentioned I saw an old flame, and he didn’t recognize me. Jon wanted to know about Joe, so I told him. His response was, ‘his loss.’ I smiled. That’s my Viking. I discussed the information I had brought back with me. Jon didn’t think it would have been a good investment since it appeared that the Lodge was on a downward trend. I agre
