Bette: Yeah, I think so too. I’ll send Jim a text and okay the change. I think it will increase the budget some as well. Are you okay with that?

Tina:  Yeah. Nothing is free in this world, so yes, I would expect that we will have to spend more money. But it’s for Angie’s benefit and I think that is okay.

Bette: You know that is the one thing we didn’t put in our house – a gym/exercise room.

Tina:  No, we didn’t, did we. Well, we could convert one of the bedrooms to a gym. Or we can remove the pool table and the game table and put some exercise equipment there.

Bette: On the other hand, we could convert our study into a gym.

Tina: Well, once you retire from teaching, then that might be a good idea. But I think you need a place to meet and greet the public in a business atmosphere. And the private office is too close to our bedroom.

Bette: No, it’s too deep into the house.  I would rather meet with people in the formal living room or the study. Besides, I feel that the private study is our space – the space I share with you only. That reminds me Grace and George will be dropping by sometime Tuesday with the term papers. The classes are supposed to turn them in tomorrow. After Thanksgiving, we have only two and one half weeks of school for this term.  Then we have three weeks off!

Tina: This is a nice meal. Are you ready for a little sleep?

Bette: Our rental car will be waiting for us when we land. I got us a room at the hotel to have a nap and freshen up. I believe our closing is at 11:00 am at some office building downtown. I believe we will have time for another nap and to get breakfast. Since we are going to be in the room only a couple of hours, I got us a standard king room at the Omni Hotel. We need to check out when we leave for our appointment. We will have lunch and then go pick up Angie and Suzanne. I think we are scheduled for takeoff at 4:00 pm.
