When Margaret and Daniel came in, Daniel begged for time to get a shower since he was unable to after his round of golf. Tina agreed to delay putting the meal on the table an extra 15 minutes so Daniel could shower. Tonight’s meal was the first time they would serve the peas they had shelled the night before. Tina garnished the peas with green onion and tomato chunks. Mary and Margaret were enthralled with the rice and gravy and the peas. Daniel was a big fan of the peas and broccoli as well as the roast pork.
Bette check to see if he were eating at school a proper balanced diet and found that he was making choices which was more like an adult than his class mates. The school had built in a rating system in their food selection and consumption at school. Daniel had rated very high in obtaining his minimum daily vitamin and mineral requirements and the inclusion of fruits and vegetables in his diet.
The evening went pretty much as the night before. It had taken less time to shuck the corn but more time in preparing the corn for freezing. Half of the corn was cut off the cob and placed in baggies. Mary, Tina and Bette did the cutting while Margaret took the removed corn and measure out two cups and placed in the baggies. The corn on the cob were placed with six half ears to a bag. Tina figured she had enough corn for about 18 meals for the five of them. She was pleased. On Tuesday night, they made their way to bed by 9:30.
Mary had was processing the peaches during the day for several hours and thought she would be finished with the bushel by Thursday. The freezer was filling up with the fresh produce Tina had purchased on Sunday evening.
Again, Bette and Tina were tired and knew that sleep was their number one priority. The next night would be the green beans. The process would go a little quicker in that Tina decided to remove the ends and the strings, blanch and then place in self-sealing plastic bags in the freezer. The group had finished with the clean-up and trash removal by 8:30. Mary and Margaret insisted that they would process the lima beans on Thursday night and Friday afternoon. So, they sat down and had a cup a tea before they retired to their rooms. Mary had opted not to prep for her dinner for the following evening that she would prepare on Thursday night.

I’m enjoying all the detail you infuse into your stories.
Thank you.
Thank you for all of these amazing chapters of Bette, Tina and the rest of the family. I like that the drama they experience is like ours, life’s hurdles and challenges. I love reading every chapter.
I love your addition of Mary to the family along with Margaret. Hopefully, they will form a strong friendship with one another along with becoming travel buddies.
This family works well as the participants approach it like a team. Everyone supports the others in whatever activity they are participating in.
What I also appreciate is the relationships that Bette and Tina have created with one another, their children and the rest of the blood and extended family members. It’s wonderful bonds that they share with each other because they all work on communicating their needs and are concerned with the others needs and do check in with them.
Thank you again for an amazing story!
I have always believed that life was full of drama… just a matter of how you look at things. There is drama in being a parent and being a spouse and being a child. The most important thing in our lives is our relationship with others – with those we love in particular. When Bette and Tina decided to become parents, they did so for their benefit. To have joys of being a parent. But my Bette and Tina soon realized that becoming a parent was a sacred duty to help guide their children to a healthy productive happy adult. And the best way to do this was to have a healthy, happy relationship between the two of them. Yes, they made mistakes early in their life – no one is perfect. But they learned not to allow their screw ups of the past to over shadow their lives, but to learn from their mistakes and then move on and be the people they want to be. And with the help and love from each other, they are far better people than they ever could be separately.
Thank you for reading and commenting. There are about 9 more chapters and this story will end… I do appreciate you taking the time to enjoy this story.
