Margaret: Well, I’ll show you what we have going. Maybe you have some suggestions for some additional ones. Tina and I want to grow some tomatoes and strawberries when we can.
Bette: Next week, Tina’s sculpture should arrive.
Tina: I can’t wait to see what that is going to look like so that I can place it. I am really anxious to see this new piece. Ladies, we also need to get some more plants for the pool area. I would like for that area to look more like a tropical oasis. And I would like to have that in place by Thanksgiving. We also need to add some plants to the front yard. Maybe you two can help me with that.
Mary: Oh, I would be delighted to assist. It is so wonderful to have greenery all around us. It just makes me feel so alive.
Bette: Oh, and while you ladies are at the nurseries, think about what we are going to want in the way of a Christmas tree. I would love to have a live tree, but I do not want the mess of dried needles and I don’t relish the thought of killing a tree for the purpose of pleasing the family for a couple of weeks. So, if we could get your suggestions as to what would be a good fit, I would appreciate it.
Mary: I think we can do that. Oh my. And we have Christmas shopping to do. Margaret? Are you a shopper?
Margaret: I have been known to indulge in some shopping yes. This sounds like that our holidays are going to be full.
Bette: Don’t forget to get your business affairs in order Mom.
Mary: I have made some good progress on that this week. Tina, you said you were going to get me a doctor’s appointment?
Tina: Yes, I did. I’ll make some calls in the morning.
Bette: Perhaps we need to go up to our room. We have to prepare for our trip.
Tina: I wasn’t planning on packing until tomorrow afternoon. We are going to only need a couple of outfits for Friday and then something to wear home on Saturday.
Bette: Yeah, it is going to be a fast trip. Ladies, thank you for your help tonight. And for this week. We now have a few vegetables in the freezer for future meals. You are free to use anything we have in the fridge in the preparation of your meals. Now, you may want to check with Jeanette as to what her plans are for Friday night’s meal. And if I might ask that you two also work with Paris and Jeanette as to what to do about Saturday night’s meal. We may be late and we will not be in condition to cook. So, if you leave it up to us, we will probably have take-out.

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.
