<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 26px;"><strong>We had arranged to go fishing with Rod and Nicole earlier in the week ...</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 26px;"><strong>this would be their first time out on a boat and fishing ...</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 26px;"><strong>We had left our boat at Premier Lake after the long weekend ...</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 26px;"><strong>Even though it wasn’t a very nice day ... we had to go pick it up ...</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 26px;"><strong>We decided to leave the camper on the truck ... just in case the weather turned on us ...</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 26px;"><strong>and we needed a dry ... warm place ...</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 26px;"><strong>We had a great time ... it was a real learning experience for them ... they were so happy to catch some fish ... </strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 26px;"><strong>They would love to come back sometime and go again ...!!!</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 26px;"><strong>We were getting cold ... so it was time to go ...</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 26px;"><strong>Rod offered to help Mike load the boat on the trailer ... Mike backed the truck down the ramp ... </strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 26px;"><strong>Rod put on the hip waders to avoid getting wet ... the water was cold ...</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 26px;"><strong>Mike drove the boat unto the trailer ... it was tricky with the wind and waves ...</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 26px;"><strong>I was grateful Rod was there to help out ... !!!</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 26px;"><strong>Our original plan was to have a fish fry at the park ... but the weather turned nasty ... so we decided to drive home ...</strong></span></div>
