FAMILY MATTERS (End Of Book2)

10

Olivia and I ate cold cereal with juice and mixed bowl of fruit and was off.  I loaded my truck last night with my power tools. I was glad electricity was still on or I would of had ri HAND saw or ask a neighbor to run an extension cord frim their property and didn't want to do that.  It took us from seven thirty to one thirty with 30 minute lunch to finish. Uncle Max she is going to love it. Especially with thd automatic drip system you have for the garden and will be surprise on what we did for potted plants too and by her arch. I wish my parents would add a drip system. I get tired of watering all the time. You talk them into it and we will do it.  I  definitely will ask. I stink and uncle you are musty too. I am ripe. Ler me drop you off. Your mama should be there . Your mom is at the bakery setting up for someone's wedding.
I  drop off Olivia and made sure Gloria was home before I left. I called Kiki and go by the place and change the timers if you want them more less and different times than what I set.
Thanks Max no problem.  Olivia was a great help. Enjoy shopping with her but give her time to get cleaned. We both are slightly ripe. Okay will do. thanks . Your very welcome.  Soap is calling my name.  bye Max.

I worked on my bills and mailed them and went to go get Olivia and Avery to go shopping.  Auntie give me a few to wash up. I will be ready in a few. 
How's the place coming? Its coming quite well. Olivia and Max built and started my vegetable and herb garden today. I went on line to order some things and met the upholstery guy at Maxwell so he could get the couches I am having redone in leather.  I say I had a productive day.  I  will buy them dinner before I drop Avery back here. Kiki if you need help loading,  unloading,  painting let me know. I will come and help. Thanks Frank. I know I.will need help hanging up the t.v.s. I will borrow tools to do that . Thanks.
Avery,  Olivia and Kiki left for their all girls home shopping spree. I was glad to see kiki to include Avery.  Kiki is an awesome aunt and role model.
Okay,  auntie where to first? Appliance store for washer and dryer than bedroom furniture and bedding, towels  to match the new kitchen and bathroom and new everyday plates to go with my Tuscany theme for the kitchen and stools for the counter etcetera. Wowx glad I changed into my tennis shoes. Me too sweetie.  We took two hours to do half of rhe shopping and went to get pizza, salads and wings with  beverages for dinner.We stayed for hour eating and off to find the other furniture.  Kiki car was packed with small items, a new vacuum cleaner because her other one was done and was too old to keep putting money into it.
Auntie dropped us off at eight thirty after we had a yogurt for a evening snack.
Her place is going to look bomb.  One bedroom she said the previous owners didn't update the cabin look but did throughout the rest. Auntie sure likes quality stuff. She told quality items last longer and don't go out of style.  We went by her place and she did adjust only one timer. She hugged me for the work and gave me a hundred dollars in twenties and told me to tell my parents for the work I had done. She knows I am saving my money for my first vehicle.  Three or four years but saving is not always easy when I see things I want not need.  My parents make sure every time they pay me a 1/4 and the rest in a savings account.  So seventy five would be going in my car fund.

Mom here is 80. I don't have money to break a twenty.  Auntie Kiki paid me a hundred for the work uncle Max and I did. Here is five back sweetie.  Mom her place is going to look cool too.  She taught us how to buy items quality over items that wont last.  I am glad kiddo you are learning.  Its getting late if you want to wake up early to go to your AUNTIES to go swimming tomorrow.  Okay, aye mama mom can update you.  love you.  love you too baby girl.
What do you need to update me on? KIKI PAID HER HUNDRED FOR BUILDING AND SETTING UP HER GARDEN AREA AND PLANTING.  SHE ALSO TAUGHT HER HOW TO SHOP QUALITY FURNITURE. WHAT WE TRY TO TEACH HER AND SHE DOESN'T PAY ATTENTION TO US. I KNOW BUT WE ARE JUST THE PARENTS.  WHAT IS WRONG GLORIA? I  got a call from Margaret she wants to see Olivia.  I  told her we would discuss it with her but it would be up to her. Ah. ok . She is in town and Max nor Kiki don't know than. No she is staying away because she knows they are still not pleased with her behavior towards Vince and how she acted when she found out he died.Babe I cannot blame them. Neither can I. I am going to go the Inn  to talk to Kiki even though she doesn't want me around her.  She needs to know. I  will call Max afterwards.  Gloria be calm. I will.

I left for the Inn. I knocked on Gloria's room number. 
Hi Kiki we need to talk in private.
Kiki lets me in.
I received a phone call from Margaret.  She is in town some where and wants to see Olivia.  My wife and I will  discuss it with her tomorrow. I  told Maraget it will be up to Olivia. If she does,  we will be present for the visit. I just wanted to.tell you in person. I will let you do what you have to do. Thank you for still spending time with Olivia. Gloria I will not take my disappointment out on the girls.  Its between us. Thank you for telling me about Maragaret.
I leave and call Max and tell him about his niece in town and her request.  He was adamant that if Olivia agrees to see her other  biological that we are present throughout the visit. 
I went home and cuddled with my wife.
