MIRROR LAKE PICNIC AREA  -  SNOWY RANGE MOUNTAINS, WYOMING - SUNSET



WANDA and DAISY, 70-something - both in jeans, tennis shoes, light sweaters over blouses - sit next to each at a picnic table with a fire pit near the small lake. 

DAISY: You're going to miss our balmy winters.

Wanda smiles.

WANDA: I looked it up. Coldest day ever in Kerrville was seven-below.

DAISY: I'll take that all January. On the other hand, probably a little warmer there today.

WANDA: A sticky hundred and three in the shade of Ruth's back porch yesterday.

A Rainbow trout jumps and splashes.

RUTH/WANDA: Rainbow. 

WANDA'S PHONE RINGTONES an instrumental version of the Towne's Van Zandt song, If I Needed You. She gets phone from pocket.

WANDA: You in your room?

Monsooning yet?

We are. Just saw a rainbow jump. 

Daisy, with a seven letter play on a triple word score. 

Plumber. Betty and Bill say hello and will be at Cheyenne Days. 

I will.

Love you too.

K. Sweet dreams.

(Wanda pockets phone.)

DAISY: Raining in Albuquerque?

WANDA: About to. Tom passes along his love.

DAISY: Sweet. We got lucky, didn't we?

Wanda looks at her.

WANDA: Our men. Good men. Decent men. 

Wanda nods, puts arm around Daisy, who reciprocates. 

DAISY: Ready?

Wanda nods, they stand, walk hand in hand out of frame as an angler catches and brings a fish to net.
