Chapter 21 – Thanksgiving Holidays Begin
Suzanne: Oh, when are you guys going to Scotland?
Tina: We will be going the entire month of August. Friends of ours are opening a country inn in St Andrews on an operating farm. Our extended family and our lifelong friends are going for the soft opening for the inn. They will be there about 10 days to two weeks and then return home. But our extended family plan to stay an additional two weeks and tour of some of Scotland, Ireland and England. We will then return in time to get Daniel and Angie to school on time.
Suzanne: Wow, that’s nice. Scotland for the summer. You are so lucky Angie.
Angie: Why don’t you go with us? It would be a great break for you from school. When you get to medical school, you may not have time to do any traveling.
Suzanne: I would love to go, but I do not think that I could afford such a trip. I’m probably going to have to work all summer to be able to pay for the things that my scholarship is not paying for.
Angie: Well, let’s talk about it and see what we can work out. Maybe we can find a way for you to go to Scotland with us.
Suzanne: Well, I also have to work out where I am going to live next year and a few other decisions on how to make my future happen. It is obvious that I am not going to get any aid or assistance from my family.
Bette: Are they not sending you any spending money while you are at school.
Suzanne: They did the first two months. But I didn’t get anything in November. And yet they didn’t plan on me coming home for the holidays either. I’m not sure what is going on at home. I just believe that as far as financial help, I don’t believe that I can rely on them.
Tina: Well, I sorry Suzanne. I know that’s rough. If it hadn’t been for my dad sending me the money to go to school, I don’t think I could have stayed.
Susanne: Well, it’s something I am just going to have to work out. I plan to go talk to financial aid after Thanksgiving. I need to know what my scholarship pays for and what it doesn’t pay for and what my other options are.

Maybe Bette & Tina could think of a way to assist Suzanne in her education. Maybe loans to cover whatever isn’t covered by the scholarships Suzanne can get. Loans due (or forgiven) after getting her degree(s) and finally earning a full-time professional salary.
It might be helpful to run any ideas past Angie before talking with Suzanne. To make sure it won’t damage their relationship with Angie. Or, damage Angie’s friendship with Suzanne.
Just a thought!
I’m really loving this ongoing story line about life. Or, at least the life of my favorite couple who happen to have a lot, a lot of $$$$$. Thanks

Annie,
Stay tuned. You are somewhat clairvoyant. Bette and Tina will have a conversation about this very thing. How can we (Bette and Tina) help Suzanne out without interfering with her life. You see, money is a powerful influencer of people and the last thing they want to do is influence Suzanne’s life. Their objective is to help her without her feeling some kind of debt of gratitude for this help. Its a fine line to walk. They have learned a lot of lessons from Helena… do people like me for who I am or for what I can do for them or have done for them or could do for them? You see, friends who are bound by favors are not friends at all… or if they are, they are only temporary friends.
Thanks for reading….

I have been so fascinated with this fic that I have not commented on it. I just love this family, and how they interact. I must say I was a little shocked when Margaret and Mary came out as a couple. I knew something was going on with them, but never guessed that it was that. I really am enjoying it all please continue.

It is not my plan to ever go into the details of the relationship with Margaret and Mary… I can say that there are all kinds of relationships. The fact is, that they want to be with each other as much as they can and want to share living space and a bed. They are affectionate with each other but that may as far as it goes. They are not going to disclose the intimate details of their relationships if there are any to disclose. The fact is that they are enjoying being companions. I just wanted to demonstrate that Bette worry about the two getting along was just totally uncalled for. And I wanted another opportunity for Bette and Tina to talk to Angie about relationships. And I also wanted to talk a little about labels…
Thank you for reading and commenting…. I am pleased you are enjoying this story. This Volume comes to an end soon – only 4 more chapters. I am not sure if I will continue this story beyond that. Oh there are lot more that will happen in this family’s life. Its a lot of work… I guess I just need a little encouragement to keep writing. Thanks you.
