Once again Gerardo was there to pick up Bette to greet her family at the airport. This time they couldn’t get home fast enough as Tina was so eager to see their place; their new home. They had their usual catching up in the car and now stood in the hall in front of their new home.

Bette: Here’s the key T, open the door.

Bette moved out of the way and stepped back to push the baby’s stroller. Tina smiled like a kid on Christmas morning unlocked the door and pushed it open. She loved what she saw. Much of their old art pieces were hung on the walls or tucked into cubby holes, family photos on the mantle and on the shelves. She also noticed a dining room complete with a fancy table cloth and center piece.

Tina: It looks like home, our home baby, but you never mentioned buying a dining room table?

Bette: That is the little café table I had in the kitchen. We used a caterer’s trick and just installed a 54”round plywood top and dressed the table. It will do until we get our own table here. Come on let’s see the bedrooms.

Angelica: My room?

Tina: Yes baby let’s see what Momma has done for you.

Angelica: Oh pretty! New bed?

Bette: Yes, baby you have a new bed and dresser and look at all your toys in the toy box.

That was all the invitation Angelica needed she went right for the toy box and began playing on her new rug.

Tina: She’s fine, show me the rest.

Bette: Well now your office.

Tina: Oh the armoire looks perfect in here. I thought you sold that piece?

Bette: It wasn’t mine to sell T, it was a gift. I just put it in storage and sold a couple of other pieces.

Tina: Having those pieces of art back in our home makes this place feel like our home Bette, thank you for saving them for us.

Bette: Open your desk and see if you like it.

Bette had personalized the workspace with office supplies and a few family photos and a Bose CD player. She’d also found a great ergonomic desk chair for Tina and sprung for an HDTV with DVD player mounted to the wall.
