    Chapter 24 – Angie Leaves for New Haven

    Angie:  Oh mom, this is fantastic. A seafood extravaganza. Salmon, shrimp, pasta, and vegetables. Thank you.

    Tina: We have put some plates in your supply box so that you and Suzanne can have some dinner when you get to your dorm room. There will be no meal on the plane going to New Haven since you are having such a heavy meal for lunch. So, you guys will think about getting to your sleeping bunks as soon as you are able.

    Bette:  Jim and Dot are going to assist you get your things to your dorm room. They may pose as your parents.  Just go with the flow and play along with whatever they come up with. Now have you girls got everything you need?  Are you packed and ready to go?

    Angie:  We just need to get our luggage down stairs and straighten the room a little bit. My room is wonderful.  Its very comfortable and is so well laid out. And that bed is so comfortable.  I wish I could take it to school with me.

    Bette: Well, I’m afraid that is not possible. Maybe next year, you will have a bed that is just as comfortable as that one in your bedroom.

    Suzanne:  I want to thankyou Miss Tina and Miss Bette for having me here this week. I have totally enjoyed my visit.  It has been so very memorable.  I believe that I have swam more this week than I have in any summer of my life. And the food has been wonderful. So many different dishes.  Each one a new experience and so good. Thankyou.

    Tina:  Suzanne, you are welcome to come back anytime. You are always welcome in our home. Just let us know so we can set another place at the table.

    Bette:  We have enjoyed you being here Suzanne. And now that you’ve been here a week, you too are now family. We all wish you the best in your school life Suzanne. If there is anything we can do to help you out, please give us a call. We may not have the answers, but we will do what we can for you.

    Suzanne:  Well, I just need to go get some information and a plan in place. I’ll let you know what I decide to do as soon as I figure it out. And of course, my plan of action is dependent on the resources I can obtain while I am at Yale.

      • I have not written that yet…. but I am thinking about it. It may take a few months…

        Thanks for reading and commenting. I enjoyed creating these characters and enriching Bette and Tina’s life with a little more dimension than the conflict and drama which the L Word and Gen Q presented. Life is really full of drama… but there is joy and times where you just want to enjoy your family and those you love. Maybe I have put forth a Bette and Tina who live a more idealistic life than real people. But I need some people in my life in which the universe blesses them with good fortune, success, companionship and love. And that makes me happy.

        The next chapter is the final episode for this series. If I write more of this Bette & Tina and family, it will be a new series. I would like to… but I do not know if I have enough story in me to continue… but we will see. Thank you…

          • Thank you… Tina’s painting career? I have a couple of thoughts about Tina’s painting career but they have not jelled yet. I am thinking that she might go into private commission work rather than producing for commercial purposes. Tina does not need the commercial success, but the personal satisfaction of producing something people love and want in their lives. I think she also wants to control her time and pressures to produce that comes with being in the art markets. My Tina has just begun to tap into her talent as an artist. But as in any profession, it can rob you of your personal life if you allow it to.

            I do think that getting Tina a studio which was separate from their home was a meaningful decision made by Bette and Tina. It fills so many of Tina’s needs – time for privacy and to separate her professional life from her family life. And the fact that its only 10 minutes from home makes think very convenient. Personally, I feel this revamping of their life and moving back to Los Angeles has been one of the best decision this couple has ever made. I believe this puts them into a perfect glide path into retirement, being grandparents and whatever.

            Thanks for reading…

    1. I think I have gotten a bit spoiled by your longer chapters, but this one was lovely as well. I have a feeling that great minds think alike and Mary will come up with a scheme as well as Bette and Tina to help Suzanne get through school as comfortably as possible. Since they can see that she is not a moocher and wants to work for what she gets they don’t feel bad about secretly giving her a hand. Post as soon as you can.

    2. Thanks for reading… I will probably post on Friday… You know, there are days in Bette and Tina’s life which are meaningful but just not as full of activities as others. I felt this was a day that the family would retreat into their individual rooms to regroup for the up coming week.

      Suzanne will never know that her additional aid is coming from Bette & Tina. Neither will Angie. Suzanne will get the funds and have full discretion on what she does with the money. I think it is important to both Angie and Suzanne never to know where the money is from. That way, the source of the funds will never influence either of their decisions relating to their relationship with each other or their relationship with Bette & Tina. As to Mary? I have a little something instore for Mary in the next chapter.

      Thanks for reading and for commenting.
