Janet: Bette, let me give you the tour and show you to your room, Tom will bring your bag in for you.

They take a quick tour and end up at Bette’s room.

Bette: This is a great house, is this your first season renting it?

Janet: Wow, you’re perceptive. This is actually our third season and I suspect there will be a fourth.  We should probably look at getting a place here, but this works out well for us. We split it with Jen and Brent and each of us takes a full week at some point in the winter without the other. If Tina and Angelica come back this winter and you want to use it for a couple of week days, let me know; its empty during most weeks and we have the place mid December to mid April and if there is still snow the owner has been pretty flexible on the end date.

Bette: That is really generous of you, thanks.

Janet: Well, it isn’t being used then anyway, so no worries.

Tom: Here you go Bette. I think we’ll all get comfy and have a night cap by the fire join us when you are ready.

Bette: That sounds good, thanks.

Everyone showers and changes into comfy clothing and sits by the fire. Bette chose sweats and her long sleeve Phillies championship T-shirt.

Tom: Oh you just had to go there.

Bette: Hey it was in my bag.

Jen: Actually it’s kind of cute, let me see the back; yea I like it.

Bette: My sister got it for me, we were LA transplants, but still Philly girls.

Tom: So is brandy OK for everyone?

Janet: I can live with that.

Bette: Sounds like a perfect choice for a night by the fire.

Brent: I can have a beer tomorrow so I’m in.

Jan: Well I’ll be out in like two minutes, but pour me a sip.

Everyone has a drink and a seat around the fire. Janet has also laid out a plate of cookies.

Bette: So what is the routine for Saturday mornings?

Brent: The girls feed us a big breakfast, we love that part.

Tom: Then we hit the slopes. Brent and I are going right for snowboarding we both got snowboards for Christmas; from our Dad’s!
