Chapter 24 – Angie Leaves for New Haven
Daniel: I think I’ll take a nap also. Tomorrow is a school day.
Margaret: Yep, tomorrow we start back to our normal schedule.
Tina: I’ll go with you Babe.
The family drifted to their rooms for their afternoon nap. Tina pulled out the left overs from Thanksgiving and heated them up and put them on the counter as a buffet. The family would finish off all the Thanksgiving dishes except for a couple of pies which had been frozen. Tina would pull them out and add to some of the meals in the up coming weeks. The family was quiet and getting into a reset mode for the normal week coming up. Plans were discussed on the up coming schedule. Bette had a Christmas party at the Dean Schultz’s home to attend. She needed to attend the graduation ceremony for the UCLA. Tina wanted to have a dinner with the Wilkins sometime during the Christmas season. There was Christmas shopping to be done by all. Bette and Tina were going to put together a Christmas dinner for the family and then a Christmas party for the family and the L.A. Lesbian gang. Bette suggested a luau and a gift exchange. Mary and Margaret loved that idea. Tina expected that the list of travelers going to Scotland next summer would be finalized during the holidays. There would be the completion of the plans for Yellowstone for spring break.
Tina: Looks like we are entering another month of being busy, busy.
Bette: Yeah, but most of this is going to be more social occasions than we have had in the past couple of months. This is our first Christmas in our new home. I can’t wait.
Mary: So, when do we start decorating?
Bette: Why don’t we start talking about suggestions tomorrow night at dinner and see if we can make that happen either next weekend or the next. We want the house fully decorated before Angie comes home.
Tina: You know, it might be one of those things that we are going to need some help with. This is a big house and we do not have enough decorations to do this house properly.
Bette: Oh my, I see a project coming. Well, let’s discuss that tomorrow. Ladies, I have really enjoyed this week. I really enjoyed having Angie home and Suzanne’s visit. But tomorrow is a work day. After dinner, I am going to spend a couple of hours reviewing my undergraduate term papers and completing the process on those. We have two more weeks of classes then final exams. So, I am going to help clean up the kitchen and then I need to be excused.

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.
