    Chapter 8 – Mid October

    Daniel:  Oh, mom, it’s okay. They are not much too big. I can wear my jeans and cargo pants and my t-shirts and this will be fine. At least I have a coat and some sweaters.  Better too big than not big enough. I think the boots are perfect and the hat and gloves are one size fits all. That should work. I’ll make it work.

    Bette: Well, when we get ready to purchase your Scotland wardrobe, we’ll be a little more careful. But I swear, the way you are growing, I’m worried that by the time we get to Scotland, that all your new clothes would be too small.

    Daniel:  Thanks mom.  I’ll be fine. So, we are going to be there what, three nights?

    Bette: Yes, we should be there by noon and we will be home about 3:00 pm on Sunday. And don’t worry, the cabin will be fully stocked with food and drink. Maybe you need to go select 3 or 4 movies you might want to watch at night or should there be a snow storm and you can’t go outside. Oh, and bring your swimsuit. There is a jacuzzi we might use. Warm pajamas. I think there is a robe there for you to use. Plenty of lounging clothes for evening and mornings. And outdoor clothes suitable for hiking.

    Tina: If you want to bring your lap top, do so. But the internet is not very good in the mountains. Bring your cell phone and the recharging equipment. And of course, don’t forget your bath kit.

    Daniel: I’m going to bring a book or two. We have some literature to read before Christmas. A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens is required reading. And there’s another one but, I do not remember the name.

    Bette:  Are you buying these books?

    Daniel:  Yeah, I order them from Amazon with my debit card.

    Bette: Well, that relates to your school work. I need to reimburse you for what you spent on school books.

    Daniel: They weren’t that much. I think I got about three of them for about twenty bucks.

    Bette: Well, I appreciate you doing this. But the deal was that we would pay for whatever is required for school. You get to pay for optional stuff. I’m pleased that you are doing well about saving your money.

    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.

      Thanks for reading and commenting…
