    Peggy’s Wishes

    ***
    Once Angie finished school Bette and Tina completed the move from their West Hollywood home to the beach house. They left the house fully furnished. The intent was to keep it as a guest house for visiting friends and relatives. James was making frequent trips to Los Angeles and used it often. Shane and the rest of the gang used the pool and BBQ grill during the summer months. Bette and Tina didn’t have their own pool at the beach house, but they could easily use Peggy’s whenever they wanted.

    ***
    Winnie accompanied Wilson and Jang Yin when they flew back to Los Angeles for the summer vacation. When Peggy and the kids filled her in on all their summer plans, she was excited to share some of them. Peggy had also asked her to come along so she could get to know Bette, Tina and Angie; especially since the kids would be spending so much time together.

    ***
    The kids were off to summer camp. Everyone boarded the Peabody jet for the short flight from Los Angeles to Monterey and since they had seven kids and six adults traveling, they hired a private coach for the drive from Monterey to the campsite.

    ***
    The gallery was doing extremely well. Leigh’s exhibit would be moved at the end of the summer from the showcase artist to permanent display while they prepared for the fall showing of a new artist. The Bette Porter Gallery had already regained its reputation for showcasing the works of emerging artist.

    Bette accepted the Directorship for the Peabody Foundation and they hired Laurie Preston to assist Kristen in managing the gallery.

    ***
    Bette, Tina, Winnie and Peggy took advantage of the two weeks that the kids were at camp for the adults to spend time together and bond as a family. They all stayed at the Peabody mansion which was better than any five-star beach resort.

    They had their meals prepared and served, but some evenings Bette, Winnie and Tina insisted on cooking themselves. Bette especially loved the outdoor kitchen and they found that Winnie was a wiz at making exotic drinks and decadent desserts.

    On one of these occasions after they’d prepared and consumed a wonderful summer feast everyone was relaxing in loungers by the pool. They watched the glorious sunset while sipping on one of Winnie’s tropical drinks called Caribbean Sunset. It was made with rum, melon liqueur, cranberry juice, and orange juice. It was like a Tequila Sunset in that the orange juice is floated on top of the cranberry juice.

    1. Wow,….So Peggy really is cutting out Helena. This is an amazing gift for Bette and Tina and for Winnie. Maybe Peggy has set up some kind of trust for Helena which will provide for her support but not the extravagant life style she is accustom to. Perhaps an 3 bedroom flat in the London England area with enough funds to pay the property taxes, the utilities, put food on the table and reasonable clothing budget but would leave nothing for travel and entertainment. Perhaps the trust provided for limited access so that she could not use it for purposes other than basic support. I could see that. And perhaps she inherited money from her father? But in any case, a lack of funds is going to restrict Helena’s ability to enjoy the life style she has been accustomed to.

      Peggy could live for another 25 years or so…who knows. In the mean time, Helena could worm her way back into the good graces of her mother and her mother could change her will to include her. I hope there is some kind of clause which says that any legatee which challenges the will and does not win in a court of law forfeits all claims to the estate and will be distributed to the remaining legatees in a share and share alike manner.

      I hope that Peggy’s will includes what I call a Joan Crawford clause: I leave my daughter Helena Peabody one dollar and nothing more for reasons she well knows. That will mean she is acknowledge that she has a daughter but she is leaving her nothing.

      Great chapter….. would love to hear more about the Catalina Island place, but maybe in the future.

      Looks like life is moving on for the Kennard-Porter household.

      Thanks for this chapter… yes you have answered my questions….

    2. I fear we have not heard the last of Helena Peabody. I understand Peggy:s disgust with her but she is her flesh blood. She has to accept her responsibility of creating the monster. It is easy to pen it all away but she has ownership too. Could we have some background on Helena”s crimes? Something tells me that this inheritance will be tainted.

    3. Hi BAT2012,

      It took me a few days but i have reread the first story and wow what a fantastic journey that was for Bette, Tina and Angie!!! I can’t believe i forgot about it, but very happy to read it again.

      About this sequel, i think most have been mentioned already. I love the bond The Kennard- Porter family has with Peggy and also Sunny and her children.

      Peggy is very generous to them, but i am afraid what Helena will do after she get to know she has been inherited by Peggy and that Bette is the daughter who Peggy “adopted”. She already hated Bette and will be set out to hurt Bette and her family. I am afraid we see Helena back in the future and will cause a lot of trouble.

      It is a pleasure to read this story!!!

    4. I’m so torn about this story! I love how well everything is going for Tibette BUT I just know that Helena’s not going to take this lying down, is she??! I love your Peggy so much. She is a wonderful mother figure. Look forward to the next bit
