Julie: What do you want Bette:

Bette: A reasonable commute and a house that doesn’t require so much TLC we can’t enjoy being there.

Meredith: Do you want a single family home or a townhouse?

Tina: Well for the sake of maintenance and community for Angelica a townhouse would be great. However, I don’t think I can get a place to garden with a townhouse.

Julie: How soon do you plan to buy?

Bette: Well we definitely don’t feel ready to buy now.

Tina: We put our money from the sale of our other house in a short term note. I’m pretty sure we’ll be rolling it over.

Meredith: Well that sounds like a good safe place for the money until you decide. Did you do six months or shorter?

Bette: We did six months. We’ll have to see where we are in our info gathering efforts at the end of the year. If we know where we want to buy, but just have to find a place we’ll probably do a 90 day note next time.

Meredith: Well it sounds like you have the financial angle worked out you just need to find the place.

Julie: What else do you have lined up for today?

Bette: My nephew is up from Philly. He and his girlfriend are at the apartment recovering from a late night.

Julie: Oh I remember those days.

Meredith: Oh it’s nice to have family visit from time to time.

Tina: It has been nice when he comes up. Angelica really likes him and she charms his girlfriend. Apparently last night she complimented her hair and dress and was rewarded with a bowl of ice cream.

Meredith: Hey smooth talking can have its perks in the business world, don’t knock it.

Zoey: Play Mommy?

Julie: We promised her time at Apple Seed today.

Meredith: We were hoping you could join us.

Bette: Let me call David and see what their plans are for today. I’m not sure when they are headed back.

David: Hello?

Bette: Hey you guys still asleep?

David: We are up and showered, but I’m not sure we qualify as being awake. I’m not sure why we are so tired.

Bette: Toddler time can be exhausting too. She wore you out before you hit the town.
