Christmas with the Kennards- Chapter 3
Chapter 3
Bette listened intently as Tina began directing her toward her parents’ house in their rental car. It was the one necessity that Bette demanded, to have access to a car throughout the week that they were in Asheville. Considering the drastic difference between this trip and the holiday ones in the past, she considered it a minor concession on Tina’s part.
“I’m shocked you didn’t sit at the window seat, Bette,” Alice said watching the scenery clip by her eyes quickly.
“Why is that?”
“Easier to through yourself out a window than when you sit on the aisle,” Alice joked as she nudged Dana for affirmation.
“You’ve got the presents right?”
“They’re packed throughout the suitcases,” Bette answered obeying Tina’s directions to exit the freeway. “If we have all the suitcases we have all the presents.”
“I haven’t been home in so long,” Tina mused as she thought about the joy of seeing her family for the holidays.
“It’s cold here,” Alice said, rubbing her hands down her arms.
“It’s in the mid-50’s,” Tina shot back as she pointed to a side street for Bette to turn down.
Bette smiled as she turned the car down a side street, seeing the various Christmas decorations displayed on each house, reflecting the homeowner’s picture of the holiday.
“This reminds me of a Norman Rockwell painting,” Dana said, smiling as Bette slowed the car to absorb the sights before her.
“It was always like this growing up. The weekend right after Thanksgiving everyone comes out and works on getting their lights up. I can’t wait to see what Mom has done.”
Bette stopped the car as she spotted the Kennard residence, bare as if there were no holiday cheer at all. Tina’s mouth dropped open as a frown crossed her face in disappointment.
“What the hell is going on?” Tina exclaimed as Bette parked the car. “Their house is the only one not decorated!”
“There has to be an explanation for it, Babe,” Bette said placing her hand on the small of Tina’s back.
“Bust my buttons!” Donna called out as she quickly opened the door. “My favorite group of gals is home!”
Bette felt the tension in Tina immediately fade as she quickened her step to meet her mother on the porch.

Poor Bette. I feel sorry for her and sorry for Donna listening to Alice. Alice is really cruel making fun of these people. Hope Tina can get her mother back to her old self. will someone please slap Alice across the back of the head. Good update. Funny as hell.
Gumby, I swear I don’t know what I like to read you write better….hot sexy tibette, or this enormously funny gang stuff….I guess I’ll settle in the middle, give me both barrels please!!!!
Your stories are such a treat for Lu and I, and yes getting out of bed is a quite a task for us. Good thing you and Alice’s mom are together now, we were starting to worry about you since Marilyn dumped you for Peggy, but see now you have a beautiful baby together, I believed Lu told me you named him Tom, right? We are so happy for you. Hee-hee!
That was a hoot. Bette is having a Christmas melt down right in front of the gang. Even Tina is thrown for a loop.
