Bette: Well I’m glad that toy made the move east.

Tina: That toy is one on her all time favorites. How about some tea?

Bette: Sounds perfect.  Hey do you mind calling Julie to see what their plans are for the weekend or week. I’d love to get the girls together for some playtime.

Tina: Sure babe that sounds like a great idea. I’ll call her after I finish with our tea.

Bette: I’ll call Carolyn to see what plans they have for Alexandria. Another good thing about her starting preschool here is hopefully she’ll make more friends.

Tina: Don’t worry our baby will have plenty of playmates soon.

Bette and Tina make their calls.

Bette: Alexandria is with her grandparents this weekend, but we’ve agreed to plan something to get them together next weekend. I’ve been reading good things about the Brooklyn Children’s Museum so I’ll see if they have anything special planned.

Tina: Julie and Meredith invited us to meet them at a place called Apple Seeds at 10 W. 25^th Street, she said between 6^th Avenue and Broadway.  It’s an indoor play space for infants to 5 year olds. We agreed to meet tomorrow at 10:30am. They’ve joined as members, but they have guest passes that we can use. Hopefully we can do brunch afterwards like we did last time.

Bette: Yea, that’s in Chelsea or Flatiron district. Let’s get info to see if we want to join.

Tina: Membership is almost $900 a year, so we definitely want to get our money’s worth.

Bette: Well we would have really used it the last couple of months. You hated having her stuck inside all day.

Tina: Yea, that’s a great point. I can’t wait to see this place and our new friends.

Bette: I started to do the Costco run before you came, but I really enjoy going with you so let’s drive over to Apple Seeds then make our Costco after brunch.

Tina: Yea, I like going together. This run will be little different as we’ll be shopping for Vermont. I’m pretty excited to head up there. Hopefully it’s still winter there.

Bette: Oh it is definitely still winter there. Jan and the gang are skiing there this weekend. She gave me a set of keys for the place, so we’re all set. We can file our Domestic Partners registration form then make our 10am appointment with Ingrid. Hopefully we can be on the road around noon. I’ve asked Vera to come by Monday morning. No need to drag Angelica around for our appointments. She should be raring to go by the time we get back.
