“You’ll be able to pick up Angie?” Tina asked as she set out her clothes for the morning.
“I said I would,” Bette replied as she continued leafing through the People magazine that she had retrieved from Tina’s nightstand. She was always amused that content needs of the plethora of gossip magazines, TV shows, and websites had resulted in an exponential increase in the number of alleged celebrities.
“Remember her school is closing early.”
“Just like mine.”
“Sorry. I am just stressed by everything that has to get done.”
“Now you see why I keep lists.”
“Your lists are illusions of control.”
“A girl and her illusions should ne’er be parted,” Bette replied. “Is there anything I can do?”
“Pick up the things on the shopping list I put on the fridge?”
“I can do that. Note that I did not point out that you have a ‘list’ on the refrigerator, though I should.”
Tina rolled her eyes.
“Anything else I can do?”
“Could you follow up on the ‘maybes’ and try to pin them done?” Tina asked. “But no ultimatums, baby, okay?”
“But if you don’t know how many are coming, how will you know how much to make?”
“I’ll just assume everyone is coming and cook too much.”
“Then everyone who leaves is getting a bag of leftovers, whether she wants one or not.”
“Tied with gift ribbons?”
“Are ribbons on your list?”
“You can add them,” Tina laughed. “Are you going to keep reading that or go to sleep?”
“I am learning about your industry. Trying to be supportive.”
“Thank you baby.”
“The magazines you must read are so much better than the ones I must.”
“And?”
“What?”
“The zinger?”
“I was just going to say that the reason I prefer yours are that the words are so much smaller.”
“Not one of your better ones, baby.”
“You ruined the delivery,” Bette sulked.
Tina slid under the covers and turned off the light on her side of the bed while Bette flipped through the magazine for a few more moments. She placed it aside and as she reached to shut off her lamp she asked, “Everyone is bringing something?”

Hey, Spumoni! :)
Wolfie, you are doing an interesting story. We are enjoying all the details that you describe about the experience that each of the girls has gone through regarding Thanksgiving dinner. Hmmm Can’t wait what will happen with the actual dinner that B&T are preparing. PPS Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks. Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
Cornucopia. Hmmm… A common symbol of a harvest festival. I’m enjoying the ride so far and I’m curious where you’re taking us this time. I’ve been up to my eyeballs with work lately so I haven’t had the chance to say thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you for the last four updates. More please, more! :>
Your doing great Ice Cream, I love how you are bringing everyone into the story. Big family that they are, it what happens on holidays. Thank you, Md
OK, I’m caught up with this one now. You do families very well, Spumoni. And you show the price to be paid (varies with the family) for holiday cheer.
Bette was always trying to include Kit and I am glad that many years later Kit is still included. Alice is a hoot. Finally, Lenore realized that Alice needed her.
