Bette: Well this it great local produce in the summer: jersey has great peaches, corn and tomatoes and in the fall you’ll find apples in the northest too. We can even go apple picking at an area orchard. I’ll look forward to some homemade apple pie this fall and peach cobbler in the summer.

Tina: I’m really excited to have the change of seasons. I know I’ll regret the dead of winter sometimes, but overall I’m excited.

Bette: I just can’t wait for us to al be home and together under one roof full time. I miss you so much as does the baby.

Tina: I missed you both so much, but these next few weeks will go by fast.

Bette: What time do you land on Wednesday?

Tina: Before dinner, why?

Bette: I just need to cancel Angelica’s 6pm play date with Sam. Cynthia thinks her boyfriend might propose this weekend while they’re in Vegas. In fact it finally dawned on her that she might come back married, so she might be too busy this week anyway.

Tina: Love is certainly in the air in that city.

Bette: She’s seeing a guy she’s known for years. He lost his wife on 9/11 and you know how she lost Elliott. Kind of a romantic tale. Apparently Sam loves him to pieces so she’ll want to do a second parent adoption after they’re married.

Tina: Well cool, hopefully we’ll be success story this time. Are you nervous for the visit on Thursday?

Bette: Actually, not at all. The housekeeper will be in on Tuesday, you’ll be there on Wednesday so I think we’ll be fine. She’s going to come at 3pm so we can still take Angelica to day care, but I’ll pick her up on the way home after nap time there. We should be back shortly after 2pm with a wide awake baby. Hopefully the visit will be over by 5 and we can take her to the park here.

Tina: Rather than cancel the play date, see if Cynthia will play it by ear. If Angelica is up to it we’ll keep the date. I know she’d miss seeing Sam.

Bette: I’ll send her a text when I get back on Tuesday.
