Bette:  That’s the point.

Tina:  Come eat your breakfast. I’ll get you some coffee.

Bette:  Have you heard from the real estate agent.

Tina:  Yea, there are about 10 suggestions. Some are a bit pricy. Looks like lots of homes, but no studios. Lots have pools. Lots of Spanish and Mediterranean style with a lot of wrought iron. I like the Spanish style and the Mediterranean style, but I do not like wrought iron.  It just looks cheesy.

Bette:  Well, don’t let that hold you back. We can replace decorative wrought iron. When you look at the house, you need to look at it in terms of what we would do with it. How would we use the space? I’m sure that you are going to see some wild decorative features. Ignore those features. What can be done with the space and does that space meet our needs?

Tina: Well, you are going to help me with that, because so far, I’m not seeing one that we should even look at much less actually purchase.

Bette:  Our agent has only been on the job what three days?  Let’s just be patient. We have no time to look this week or next even if she found something. The first day we could possibly look at anything is August 6^th. Maybe we should send her an email and tell her that.

Tina: Yea, I believe I will. That way she can get together something that makes sense, instead of sending us all this junk.

Bette:  I think I’m ready for a shower.  Children, your, mom and I are going to our room. We will be back down about lunch time.  Angie and Daniel, will you prepare lunch for us? A salad with some chicken strips maybe? Some cheese toast with it?

Tina:  The chicken strips can be micro waved – put 4 strips in a bowl and microwave for about – 2 minutes. Fix about 2 strips for each salad. And cook the chicken last. Greens, croutons, cheese, tomatoes, nuts and chicken. If there is an emergency, call us on the cell. And we will see you at lunch.

Bette smiled and put her arm around Tina and wrinkled her nose like she smelled bad.  Tina hit her playfully on the arm.
