Bette: Tina definitely made sweet tea for the occasion.

Julie: Then I’ll have one as well.

Tina: Let’s just make it a round for everyone. Do you want to eat right away, everything is ready?

Meredith: It smells so good I’m ready to eat now.

Bette: Well then you and I will go get the girls. It might take the two of us to tear them away from play time.

Both little girls and big girls enjoy their meals.

Meredith: That was wonderful. Call me for Sunday dinner anytime.

Julie: Yea, that was awesome and a nice change of pace. Even Zoey ate really well today.

Tina: It’s a change of pace for us too.

Bette: It was a really fun meal to prepare. We’re glad you were here to share it with us.

Angelica: Play Mommy?

Tina: You did such a good job with your dinner. Yes, you and Zoey can go play.

Zoey: Yay, play!

The twosome returns to Angelica’s room to play.

Bette: Coffee or tea for either of you?

Julie: Not for me. I need a moment to let this settle.

Meredith: Coffee would be great, no cream or sugar, thanks.

Tina: I’ll wait with Julie.

Bette: OK, two black coffees coming up.

Meredith: I love Diana Krall.

Tina: Yea, she’s great.

Bette: Do you both like jazz?

Julie: Definitely.

Bette: Do you frequent any jazz clubs? I’m fond of the Blue Note.

Meredith: That’s a great place, good menu too. You never know who may walk on stage there.

Tina: Bette and I have gone. Maybe we can go together some time.

Julie: That sounds like fun.

Meredith: We haven’t the jazz scene here in a while, that would be a nice change for us.

Tina: I had hopes of us playing Pictionary tonight, but we all seem really comfortable just sitting.

Meredith: Pictionary would be a struggle for me at the moment.

Julie: What other games to you have? I’m sure we can find something.

Bette: How about Uno?

Meredith: Now that I can do. I’ll be on my own and trash talking is allowed.

Julie: So playing a team game is too much to ask?

Meredith: Well a team game that requires me to stand, think and get excited, absolutely.
