Chapter 24 – Angie Leaves for New Haven
Suzanne: Okay. No promises. But I’ll keep that in mind.
Margaret: Suzanne, we do hope that you have a good year at school. I hope that you and your family have a pleasant Christmas holiday. I hope that you and Angie have a nice trip back to New Haven. I’ve enjoyed this week having you two here and I look forward to other opportunities of having you back. If not, well then maybe Suzanne will join us for the Scotland trip. Angie, you have been a delight to be around this week. You are the perfect combination of your moms with a little uniqueness of your own. You study hard and hurry on back for Christmas. We have people to see and places to go and we want you around for all of it.
Angie: Thank you Margaret. I am so pleased that you are a member of this household and family as well. You need to watch Grandmama Mary and make sure she stays out of mischief.
Mary: Angie, I’m too old to cause mischief…
Margaret: Really? Not what you told me?
Everyone laughed.
Mary and Margaret volunteered to clean the kitchen while Bette, Tina and Daniel joined Angie and Suzanne on the patio.
Angie: I want to thank you guys again for providing this charter flight back to New Haven. It is an amazing convenience in traveling. Classes come early tomorrow. And we will be in better shape because of this flight. And we only have a week or so before finals start. Wow, that is not much time.
Suzanne: Angie, you’ve been keeping up with your classes and studying regularly. You’ll be ready for finals, won’t you?
Angie: Yeah, I’ll be ready, but I’m still worried about them. You never know what is going to happen until you get the grade back. And until then, I’m anxious about it.
Tina: Well, try not to pull any all-nighters on studying. That usually does not help your performance. Study regularly and consistently over the time you have. You may need to cut back on your social life between now and then but continue your exercise, your meals and your sleep. And you will do just fine.
Bette: And keep us updated as to what is going on in your life. Inquiring minds want to know!

I’m enjoying this story soooo much…Thank you…Are you taking us to Yellowstone and Scotland with the family?
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…
I sure hope you write another series. Your stories are quite enjoyable. I’d love to see what happens with Tina’s painting career.
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…
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.
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.
