Tina: I’m getting a little sleepy. How about you?

Bette:  Yeah.  We have a big day tomorrow. I’m going to let you make the call as to when and how we handle the portrait for Helena and Dylan. But I do recommend we do it early in the day.

Tina: Yeah, I hope she likes it.

Bette:  She will. If not, I assure you, I can find a place for her. But I don’t think that I have a prayer of keeping that portrait.

Tina:  Come on… let’s get some shut eye.  Do you want to get up to see the turducken come out of the oven? Spencer may need some assistance in lifting it out.

Bette: Yeah, maybe we can be of some assistance to them.

Tina:  They have two helpers coming in to assist on putting the hors d’oeuvres out, serving the drinks and keeping things cleaned up. We have agreed to serving the dinner buffet style from the kitchen island and then having people move on into the dining room and finding a seat. The servers will get them their drinks. Then after dinner they can get their desert from the buffet at the end of the dining room and return to their place. That way they can sample what they want.

Bette: This is our first dinner party in our formal dining room. And I am excited. And we get to show off some of your art. And I really want to see the girls. It’s been a while.

Tina:  I just hope that Spencer and Juanita get some sleep tonight. I think they were planning to retire early and get up early. They have worked pretty hard all day. Oh, they were very happy with their room.  They plan to set up a table and have their meal with their help in there after they had completed our dinner preparations.

Bette: I like this couple. They really known their way around a kitchen.

Tina: Well, we will see that once we have our dinner tomorrow. But I tell you what, that turducken looks good and it hadn’t even been cooked yet. Let’s get some pictures after it come out of the oven. We need to add that to our memory books.
