Geoff and I finally met Mike's mother last night, over dinner at Abrusci's. She's a very personable, athletic Hawaiian woman, eagerly looking forward to her move to Nevada next week. No wonder Mike's such a good guy!
Hayley has started the War of the Sisters. She's been stalking McKenzie and waving scratched DVD's in her face. When that doesn't work, she calls her on my cell phone or leaves notes. She wants all her DVD's replaced, even the seasons of Friends. It's just lovely around here. And just when I thought they bonded over winter break.
Made curtains for Mom's kitchen window last week. I had to do every cut, stitch and ironed seam just right, and positively agonized over hanging the rods straight and firm. If it were for me, I'd have just thrown them up there, pinned (take a look at our living room drapes some time), but for her--perfection! Now it looks like she has a checked drape over french doors on one kitchen wall. In reality, the little bitty window looks out onto the hall fire extinguisher, but you'd never know. I like her house better than mine now! It's so cosy (and clean, and quiet, and calm). I drive McKenzie to the middle school and stop off to say hi in the morning, or we roar off on an expedition to buy wires, fabric, or milk! Very nice to have her here, and she's so happy getting to know the neighbors. Oh, and her dog Penny was adopted last week!
