Mother of the Groom

I've created a board on Pinterest that I named "My Son's Wedding." I know it is a ways off, but I want to have plenty of time to pick something out that looks good on me.

This is just an example of what I'm considering. Definitely want something with a jacket. My color preferences are rose or red.

Doing this was a good way to get my mind off the amount of pain I've been in. I had a bridge removed a while back and one of the old teeth disintegrated with half of it left behind under my gums. A little stuck out but it never bothered me--until about a week ago. Then the whole right side of my face hurt.

I made an appointment to have it extracted but they couldn't see me for nearly a month! But the other day I was in so much pain I called my regular dentist. They suggested calling the oral surgeon and mentioning that I'm Dr. L's patient and in a lot of pain. Happily, they took me the same day! (Wednesday past). Had to have about 4 shot of novocaine and it still hurt like hell. At least it was quick. The o.s. was so nice. Now I'm healing. Had to take some meds right after and took a few yesterday, but so far today I don't need any. Also taking antibiotics. It hurt so much because it was infected.Ugh.

I'm happy that is over with!

We meet Meg's Parents

Bob, Ellen and Megan

We all met at a really nice Italian restaurant. Meg's parents are so nice! Mike and Bob really hit it off and I enjoyed talking to Ellen. It was a little noisy so sometimes we had to repeat ourselves but it was still enjoyable. The food was outrageous and I ate a little too much (so my stomach tells me today) but really liked it. I had shrimp parmigiana.

Michael sat next to me so I was mostly talking with him. He had osso buco, which we learned means 'bone with a hole.' It is made with veal shank. Michael said it was very  tender and delicious. I might try it someday.

Mike snuck off, pretending to look for the men's room, but he actually stopped the waiter for the check. Bob asked for it too but somehow it ended up going to Mike. I hear that Ellen was upset because she felt they should pay for it, since they made the arrangements. I feel it was mutual and it was just easier for Mike to pay. Bob handled the tip.

I'll have to have Megan tell her mother we can meet out our way another time and they can pick up the bill, lol!

More Snow

No picture--just look at previous post. We got the most snow of the winter last night, about 4 inches. The sun was bright this morning so it melted off the trees. Mike had to bring his car in for service, and when I went to pick him up, snow fell from the trees on my car. One time it was loud enough to make me jump. I guess it was a big ball of snow.

Michael and Katherine came to dinner yesterday with their respective partners. It was nice to see Megan. I gave her some advice on soap making (since I gave her a kit for Christmas). She is so much like me. She's going to be like my second daughter, Katherine's little sister.

Jeff continues to be a nice guy, and I hope he is 'the one' at last for Katherine.

Valentine's Day was very nice. Got flowers and chocolates. I have 4 pieces of candy left!

Here is a picture of Katherine and Jeff:
