Tina:  Yes, it’s early and there should be plenty of seats. And they have great coffee and good food.  Order what you want but please remember that their servings sizes are very generous.

Mary:  That’s good. I didn’t get enough sleep.

They arrived at the apartment and the doorman came and got the luggage. Bette tipped the driver and then followed. The family had already gone up on the freight elevator, so Bette went up on the regular elevator. Using her key, she entered the front door and could hear the doorman helping with the luggage to the various rooms. They then came back down one floor to bring Bette and Tina’s bags to their room. Bette tipped the doorman and thanked him.

Bette:  Wow, seems strange being back here. It doesn’t feel like home any more.

Tina:  Well, you’ve removed all the art work and no one has been here except the cleaning crew for a month.

Bette quickly set up her bag in the closet to service her immediate needs. She took her shower bag and put it in the bathroom and then quickly took a look through her closet.

Tina:  Come on, Bette, let’s go get some breakfast. The deli is only a block away.

Bette:  You know this walk and food could wake us all up?

Tina: Let’s make that judgement when we come back.  Food generally makes people sleepy.

Angie, Mary and Daniel came down to the kitchen and met up with Bette and Tina. Bette had her billfold and was ready to lead the group to breakfast. The deli was well lit up with bright lights. They found a round table in the center and ordered their breakfast. Tina ordered a half dozen plain bagels with some cream cheese and some jelly. Angie reminded Tina that there was some coffee at the apartment and some instant creamer, so that would not be necessary.

When the food came, the group suddenly woke up. It was hot and plentiful. By the time they were finished, their energy level was up and so there was a change in plan. They decided to postpone the nap until after lunch.

They all took the freight elevator to the 7^th floor to enter the 2^nd level of the apartment. They decided to start in the kid’s lounge with all the things that Angie had stacked there. There had been some new deliveries.
