Tina: Well, this is a quick in and out trip. If we were staying another day, we would be doing something fun. Maybe next spring we can do that.

The group finished up their coffee and head for their room to get their luggage. Bette signed the breakfast invoice and hurried up to the room. Bette checked out via the computer and left the keys on the counter in the room.  Tina and Bette brushed their teeth, went to the potty, freshened their makeup and closed up their luggage. They gathered their luggage and headed down stairs.

Jim was assisting the bellman load the luggage and had the third seat set up. Jim then assisted Bette and Tina into the third seats and allowed Angie and Suzanne to sit in the back seats. This way they would see the neighborhood and the approach to the house. The house was only 10 minutes away from the hotel.

Angie: Wow, this is a really cute house. I love this look.

Bette: There is Simon. I am going to ask that he just let us in and then he can leave if he wishes. He can lock the key up in the box.

Tina: Yeah, that’s a good idea. We cannot stay more than about 45 minutes to an hour.

Bette:  Got it. Come on girls, let’s take a look.

The group quickly got out and followed Simon to the front door. Tina led the way and gave the down stairs tour. They decided to pass on the tour of the basement as it was not living space. Angie quickly went to the kitchen and laundry room and the storage pantry. She was liking what she saw. Tina then led her to the master bedroom and show her the private study and then the bathroom. Angie was beside herself with the tub and shower arrangements. She knew she would be very comfortable here. They then went to the hall out the back door and then to the study/dining room. Jim told her that he planned to put bookcases on two of the four walls. He was going to tell her about the expansion of the half bath to a full bath, but Bette signaled Jim not to say anything about that. They then looked at the sitting room and the half bath. Angie loved the fire place and could see herself doing some of her reading in this area or having friends over for wine and dinner.
