Almost forgot about this weekend highlight...

Yesterday, zedrikcayne called me, to say hi, and stuff.

I had asked him on Thusday night when we spoke on the phone if he'd recieved any mail recently. He hadn't. I told him, I knew he was going to get some mail, that it would probably come in an envelope (as opposed to a box) and that I couldn't tell him any more, or I'd get into trouble with the sender.

So Sunday, we're on the phone, and he tells me that he'd gotten the mail I'd spoken about, and describes excitedly to me what was in the package. (It was from my Mom. She'd found a DVD of "Fiddler on the Roof" for him, because they had discussed it when we visited last month, and she found out he had never seen it.) And he describes the note included with the package...which was signed "Mom-the other one."

So, this is me, being happy that Cayne and Mom got along, and that Mom liked Cayne. Mom is the type to do that sort of thing for her children...she sends me random stuff like that sometimes-you know, socks or toys, or whatnot. She sent my sister a DVD of "Children of the Corn" (my sister watched that at a slumber party when she was like 8 or 9, and was terrified for weeks after that. She was so freaked out by the movie that she couldn't even keep it in her house-she took it to her boyfriend's place and left it there.)

But yeah...he's not just grudgingly accepted at this point, but obviously welcomed. And that makes me happy.

That's so sweet! deyo's mom is a lot like that. She treats me like family (and thinks we'd be silly to get married, but that's based on her experience of it) and I, in turn, treat her almost like I would my own Mom. (She's a lot younger than my Mom would have been, which makes me see her a little like one of my older siblings.)

Those little things are huge. Glad mom likes him muchly.

J likes my parents. A lot. Heheheh. You can tell he didn't spend his teenaged years with them.

Toni likes to say that her Mom and I are "buds" - she makes particular food for me, gets little things that she thinks I'll like. Once, when all of Toni's family was in Myrtle Beach, SC, without me, her mom got this funky concrete and stone turtle, about a foot in diameter, for me just because she thought I'd like it. Now, I've never been much for turtles (I don't dislike them, but have never gone out of my way for them), but this thing is great - it now guards the entryway to our living room. I still don't know what possessed her. :-)

that's a good story, and i'm sure a good feeling for you.

i don't know if you've seen it, but the cat puppet that Angelina Jolie has in the movie Girl, Interrupted was not scripted in the movie. her mother sent it to her in a care package while angelina was filming, and she just started improving it into the movie.

That's really neat. I'm glad she likes him.

I can understand anyone liking Zedrickcayne btw.

But I can also understand in-law relations being unpredictable.
