Tina:  According to Angie we do. I don’t know how accurate that is. But that is a far cry from fifty something.

Bette:  You want to go lay down for a while? Look at those paintings on the wall?

Tina:  Perhaps I should. I wonder what they are seeing that I am overlooking.

Bette:  Nothing my dear…. Absolutely nothing. You put on that canvas what your mind saw. Now, if others were looking at the same model, would they see the same thing? I don’t know that. I know that when I look the at the model for The Blonde, I see exactly what’s on that canvas. I don’t look at the model for The Brunette in quite the same manner. So, I don’t know if it’s the same or not.

Tina:  Well, I used the same technique and it’s the same mind’s eye which saw the models.

Bette: Come on sweetie. Let’s get some rest.

The couple undressed to their underwear and crawled in bed. They kiss each other lovingly and then relaxed into a restful nap.  They got up and went down stairs and found the rest of the family up and sitting in the family room.  They were getting hungry.  Tina got out the ham and started grilling ham sandwiches. In the cabinet, she pulled out some potato chips and then pulled out the carrot salad and the cole slaw. She then set it out on the counter for each person to make a plate of food. Tina fixed some coffee and some ice tea and went last on picking out her plate of food. They all then decided to have a slice of coconut pie to top off their meal.

Daniel: This dinner is good. Just the right amount of food. I ate a lot and I didn’t need a whole lot of food tonight.

Margaret:  The food was good. I loved the broccoli casserole particularly.

Angie:  Suzanne and I made that. It’s a favorite of mine.

Bette: We’ll try and have it again during the Christmas season.

Suzanne:  There were several things which I don’t believe we have ever had on our table. The turducken for one. And the sweet potato souffle.  That is just delicious. It was sweet which was a real surprise.
