Tina: Well you see the kitchen, living room and dining room.

Julie: I love your dining room set.

Tina: Thanks, it’s from our house in LA.

Bette: This is our guest room and Tina’s office.

Meredith: I love the amoire, it really suits the room. How does it work as a work station?

Tina: I love it.  She opens the unit and shows how she uses it. The ladies really like the unit and love how it closes up to tuck things away. Next is the master bedroom. The master bath and walk in closet are big hits.

Julie: Oh Angelica’s room is so cute.

Bette: Yea, we decided to really set her up nicely. That crib will graduate to a bed when she’s ready.

Julie: We considered buying that kind of bed, but stayed with a standard crib.

Tina: We left her crib in LA. Bette’s sister bought the house and they wanted to keep a room ready for Angelica and also use it for her finance’s grandchild that is on the way.

Julie: Oh, how sweet.

Meredith: You have a lovely home and really scored some nice extras for a Manhattan apartment.

Tina: Biggest one if the washer and dryer hook up. I couldn’t imagine going to a laundry room each week.

Bette: Yea, that’s why we jumped right on this place when it was offered to us. I had a two bedroom when we first moved in, but with the three of us and Tina’s work we need the extra room.

Julie: Well this place definitely has a nice homey feel to it.

Bette: Tina has a way of doing that to anyplace.

Tina: Well speaking of homey, we went Southern for the menu: barbeque chicken, macaroni and cheese, green beans, sweet potatoes and corn muffins.

Meredith: Lots of butter for those muffins?

Tina: Of course. What kind of North Carolina girl do you think I am?

The ladies all laugh.

Julie: Well our dessert selection suits that theme: red velvet cake, in honor of your fondness for chocolate Tina.

Tina: Works for me, thanks.

Bette: What can I get you to drink?

Meredith: With that menu I could go for a Southern Comfort or cold beer. I’ll settle for sweet tea if you have it.
