David: Thanks Aunt Bette. I think we will head out. What do we owe?

Bette: How does your mother say it, “Child please”.

David: You pegged her, thanks and wake us up when you get back.

Tina: Are you sure about that? Angelica is a great alarm clock, very hands on.

Shelia: I imagine she would be. I’ve seen her climb on David; shoes on and all.

The adults laugh as they’ve all witness Angelica’s affections. Shelia and David leave and the family finishes and pays the bill. On the way to story time Bette gets a text from Julie.

Julie: Hey you two we’re on our way to story time, u?

Bette: Yes. C U there.

Bette: Looks like Julie and Meredith are on their way to story time with Zoey.

Angelica: Zoey!

Tina: Yes baby Zoey is coming to story time. Are you ready to go?

Angelica: Ready Mommy. Up.

They get into their normal routine and head to Barnes and Noble. The girls are great during story hour.

Meredith: How have you ladies been; seems like it’s been a while.

Tina: We had a great summer. I loved getting to see so much of the east coast. There is so much to see and do here.

Julie: I’ve been here all my life and still haven’t seen it all.

Meredith: How is the house search? Have you gotten to the Poconos yet? We loved my parents’ place there.

Tina: It’s still on the list. We’ve made it to the shore, but haven’t done the Catskills or Poconos yet.

Meredith: Well the nice thing about the Poconos, they really are four seasons. Winter skiing. Summer boating, swimming. Fall foliage. Spring is quiet, but for a gardener like Tina it would be nice.

Bette: What’s the commute like there?

Meredith: You can be just about anywhere there in two hours or less.

Tina: Now I do like the sound of that.

Julie: Prices there will be the best too, but you really want to just get something you’ll be happiest with.

Meredith: Poconos are a little more diverse as you get people from Philly, Jersey and New York.  With the casinos there now you may even see more diversity in the visitors.

Bette: Tina really wants a garden again and I want a place for Angelica to play; a place to ride a bike and things like that.
