    Chapter 8 – Mid October

    Tina: That is what we have to talk to Daniel about. That there will be days like that for him and for his friends. And how important it is to keep being a friend to these people. And that some days will be worse than others. It’s a time where everyone is an ugly duckling but sooner or later, they will all be elegant swans.

    Bette:  Hey, that’s good. I wish someone had said that to me.

    Tina: And oh, what a swan you have become.

    Bette:  You should see my swan mate… she is gorgeous.

    Tina: Are you ready to put these suit cases on the elevator? I just love this house.

    Bette:  Yeah, I’m ready. I’ll carry my other bag out tomorrow morning with my toiletries and my house slippers. Here why don’t we put all our shoes in a single bag. Hiking boots take up a lot of room don’t they. And let’s put our coats with the luggage. I do not want to forget my heavy coat.

    Tina:  Me either. Have you been to this place before?

    Bette:  I was in the area back when I was with Jodie. Dylan was the one who told me that they had several cabins which they rented out. She and Helena have been there and Dylan loved it. You know Dylan is not much of a city girl. She likes the county. And I think that Helena is benefiting from Dylan’s desire to get outdoors. It keeps her out of mischief.

    Tina:  Well, you know they are turning into real estate moguls, don’t you?

    Bette:  Yes, I got that impression. I heard she and Dylan were looking up in the Oakland- San Francisco area for a working winery with vineyards. I think they want to develop a getaway spot which they can turn into a money maker. They are interested in making it a weekend getaway for anniversary celebrations or turn it in a destination wedding spot.

    Tina: Wow, that might work well. At least they are not looking at golf courses.

    Bette:  Well, you know that both Helena and Dylan play. But no, I think they know that golf courses do well to breakeven. They are expensive to maintain and the property taxes are huge.

    1. This is such a lovely story.
      I love how attentive Bette and Tina are to each other and their family. Margaret has fitted in well and become part of the family and I have a feeling her and Mary are going to become close friends as well.
      Oh well, off to Bear Mountain for fun and relaxation…can’t wait , thank you !

    2. Janice… Both Bette and Tina were raised without a caring mother during their childhood. Tina’s mother although present had no interest in her children. So they both have somewhat subconsciously been looking for mother figures in their lives. Peggy has taken on that role for Bette until she found Mary. Her relationship with Mary has been long distance and been evolving. So now that they live in Los Angeles along with Paris and Kit, it seems like a natural progression for Mary to move to Los Angeles. Margaret joining the household is an act of the universe and for Tina gives her a surrogate mother figure. Yes, Margaret is a wonderful addition to the family. She and Mary provide companionship for each other so that they do not feel that they are a burden on Bette and Tina. They fill a need for each of them to have a social partner in the household as well as the family. And the house is large enough to provide each member some private space when that is desired as well. It is the ideal arrangement for both of them in their stage of life. However, Bette and Tina want both of these women to have their independence and lead the lives they wish to live for as long as they are able. You see, they really are capable of giving support and comfort and yet the space to lead their own lives. Margaret is the ideal person to assist Mary with this monumental move in her life. And both Mary and Margaret are getting the family back in their life which they both deeply desire. I particularly wanted Bette and Tina to realize and act that both of these women are adults capable of directing their own lives and not children or additional dependents.
