From Afar
It didn’t surprise her that more local Regions of Commerce
where getting involves as the Foundations criteria was very broad in its
description. The thought had been to
keep it that way in the hopes to encourage more creative thinking when it came
to improving the lives of those who just needed help with the first step to
helping themselves. This was the first
of a series of meetings with area Region of Commerce committees that Tina has
set up. She initially had been nervous
but the butterflies disappeared quickly as Tina dove into the material she had
prepared.
Tina felt the meeting had gone as well as it did due to her
past experiences. She has experienced
similar restraints that they currently feel.
While the need is clear sometimes the answers aren’t and Tina felt today
that she had help clear some of the fog that sometimes gets in the way of
seeing the solutions clearly.
Walking up to her car, Tina glanced at her watch. It was already 4:30 in the afternoon. ‘Great’ she thought as she was just in time
for rush hour. Tina had secretly hoped
to be out of the meeting by 3:00 at the latest but the conversations where
going so well she ended up feeling compelled to stick around longer.
Before she gets in her car, Tina sheds her jacket and lays
it neatly across her back seat as she makes herself comfortable for the long
drive home. Before she can start her
car, she hears a wrap on her passenger window.
Startled Tina jumps as she looks over.
There is one of the participants of the meeting “Hey I’m so
glad I caught you. I was wondering if
you would be interested in seeing some of our programs in action. They are exactly the type of programming we
would like to expand if we are able to secure more funding from the MYV
foundation. We have a couple of classes
starting at 5:00 do you want to take a look?”
Tina smiles a professional smile, after all that’s why she
came here in the first place she might as well do it all. Besides this way she could avoid rush hour
she reasoned with herself. “Sure that
would be great.” Tina says as she reaches for the door handle.
Bette had made her way home a little before 6:00 arriving to
find Anna a little on the crabby side.
As she walked through the front door she could hear Anna screaming as
Irene was trying to walk away from her.

Jwet youre so mean to me.. it was necessary all that torture with Tina coming home?? i thought she would lose the car control any minute..lol..gezz..Bette with Anna was just cute..ok i have to prepare myself to next chapter????humm..what your evil mind is ploting???..lol..great..tender and scary chapter post soon thanks :o)
We all have those days but still the real focus is connection with those we love.. thank you, the story was a good reminder. And you know I adore Bette and Anna – so sweet.
Okay, i feel the drama coming on. For a minute there I though Tina was going to get into an accident! Great chapter as always.
Woo, I am so glad that Tina got home safe and sound. Bette is so loving and cute with Anna, please post again soon.
JWet,
And still the chocolate merry-go-round continues. Why is it something so bad tastes soo good?
So now back to this marvellous melodrama.
The simplicity of these last three chapters covering a single day demonstrates your talent and skills as a writer. You entrance your audience by making the mundane and uneventful, exciting and thrilling. I was thinking that there may be more to this day than previously foretold. Was Tina going to have a life-threatening accident? But not you had her drop her cell phone and portray the reality of her day along with this basic frustration.
It was so welcoming to have Bette at home and the mother hen with her concerns for Tina while Tina followed her demanding career and did the right thing for the foundation.
Questions include:
Why is it you plan to finish early and then someone makes it impossible to so? Why does someone rapping on your car window always scare the be-Jesus out of you? How come your phone is always just out of your range? Will Bette get Tina a Bluetooth “hands free” kit for her cell phone? Was Angelica teething or just missing her Mom? How wet did Bette did get herself while bathing the baby? Does Bette wear a hair net, curlers and an apron when she it the mother hen? How do you just sense when your lover has returned?
Enjoy your weekend as I hope it is wicked or wonderful or both.
Thank you as always.
Your Loyal Fan.
Tina is safe *a sigh of relief* This chapter was full of tension. You did a really great job with it. thanks
Whew!!! *makes a swipe across brow* If you were tryng to give me an anxiety attack you were successful! Shit! That was so ominous and “doomsy” I was uncomfortable as hell! Thanks jwet for that wonderful experience! lol! Now I’ll go walk on broken glass or shove toothpicks under my nails to mix up the fun!
Lovely chapter JWET..THANK YOU..
i get giddy when i see youve posted. i know that i will be richly rewarded.
“the warmth of her home hits her as she opens the door bringing a smile to tinas face. being home with her family is worth every minute of her long day.” know that feeling well. its the little things.
this chappy had it all. care, concern, love and tension.
take care this weekend and thanks.
Thank god Tina is ok you had us thinking all the way through the story that something was going to happen, I breathed a sigh of relief when she got home
It’s nice to see Tina gaining confidence in herself in her new position with the foudation. She is similar to Bette in that she too, loves her work.
Tina is a caretaker, and that came through again in her willingness to accommodate one of the meeting participants.
Kids can be pretty astute, I think that Anna’s routine was skewed when she was not able to see Tina the entire day.
I thought it was interesting that not only was Tina’s phone just out of reach, but so was Bette…at least for the day.
It seems that Bette and Tina need the physical proximity to each other for their communication to be the most effective.
Glad Tina got home safely and that the loooooooooong day has come to and end.
Bette is going to have a hard time finding a new assig. Helene is so full of her self. Payback is hell. Was worry about Tina driving home by her self. Just glad she got home. thanks
I’m relieved, just like Tina, that she is home. Another nice chapter. I still have that ominous feeling though…
geez..i kept thinking something was going to happen to Tina. It was a great chapter and can’t wait for the next.
As always such a wonderful story, looking forward to your next chapter.
aawww… i just love how bette is when she’s around anna..btw, pls do leave some chapters behind… you can’t just leave us on “dry spell” to long! LOL

okay I THANK U 4 NOT LETTING ANYTHING HAPPEN TO TINA!!!!!!!! U really had me there. POST SOON!!!!!!!!
I was holding my breath several times, once when “someone knock on her door”; again when she “took her legs off the brakes” reaching for the phone; again when she pulled over to call Bette and last when she pick up her hamburger and eating while driving! So, I’m so thankful that I can finally exhale when she walked into her home. aaaahhhhhh.
Wonderful warm feeling in my heart now. Thanks so much.
Would it be begging if I’m hoping for another chapter this week/weekend?????
***smiles***
Makes me tired just to think about all they did during the day. Now it’s time for some rest and relaxation.

I was worried about Tina there. Glad that she got home in one piece – I had a horrible feeling she wouldn’t.
