    “I’ll start at the beginning. You know Peggy retired years ago when she put Helena in charge. Of course, Helena wreaked havoc and forced Peggy out of retirement to clean up her mess. Once Peggy got a handle on things, she started divesting the Peabody holdings. She says she is getting too old to be traveling all over the globe overseeing the world-wide operations. Seeing as though she doesn’t have a reliable heir, she decided to get rid of everything except the Peabody Arts Foundation. She says that’s her baby and she wants to hold on to it, but she needs someone she can trust implicitly to head the operation so she can retire knowing that she is leaving it in good hands and that this person is going to fulfill the vision and the mission that she has for the organization.”

    “So, she’s down-sized and right-sized the company into something manageable and she wants someone in the Director’s position to focus solely on funding and supporting the arts? Well I must say you are the right person for the job. You share her passion and I know you would never disappoint her. This is actually very exciting for you Babe. It’s a wonderful opportunity. It certainly broadens the scope of what you’d hope to do with the gallery.”

    “It does. That’s what makes it so appealing. Besides can you imagine how much I can learn and garner from working side by side with the legendary Peggy Peabody? Although she wants to semi retire at first and then gradually fully retire, she’ll be there to mentor me every step of the way. With all the money in the world, I couldn’t buy the kind of education she’s handing to me.”

    “To say nothing of what I can learn from having her around. I hope she won’t mind if I pick her brain on what she looks for when granting monies.”

    “I’m sure she will love to share her wisdom. She loves you and wants your success as much as mine. Winnie, you and I and the kids are her family now. We’re the people she has chosen to pass along her legacy. That brings me to the other news. Not only has Peggy offered me this position but she’s established trust funds for Angie and any future children that we may have. She’s changed her will.”

    1. Okay, so Helena is in prison and may get out in two years. Peggy still has not told Bette and Tina exactly what is in the will but has intimated that they will get a significant portion of her estate. Of course Winnie will probably get a significant portion as well. So how will Helena support herself? I’m sure she has no job skills and with a criminal record, she is going to find employment difficult. The way she has treated people in the past, its going to be difficult for her to develop any kind of permanent relationship. Helena’s life is not going to be easy in the future. Of course, there is always a chance that Helena will see the error of her ways and change her life. But I do not see this with this Helena.

      This is the first time Angie has been in a situation where she was not the oldest child nor was she the center of attention. And it appears that at the center, she and Wilson and Jang Yin were all put in separate groups. So Angie did not carry the roll of leader of pack. This is a new experience for her and I wonder how she will respond to it. Hopefully she will respond positively.

      Love how Bette and Peggy interact together. I just hope that Peggy will take some time to interact with Tina on her own as well. Although Peggy has a favorable impression of Tina, she needs to know Tina and see the qualities she brings to the relationship with Bette and to forge her own relationship with Tina as an individual.

      Now, I cannot believe that Bette is going to give up on being the bumper car champion. Bette really is maturing in a responsible parent. Sometime you win more if you just let it go and acknowledge you cannot win them all.

      Love this story….. keep the chapters comming….
