Meeting the Girls

Most of you who follow my blog know that I'm now going into my 5th month of dating Terry. You may also remember that he is a widower. Last Saturday I met Arlene's ( his deceased wife), 2 grown daughters. Now, I am not usually worried about meeting people. I am much like Popeye in that, "I yam who I yam". At this stage in the game not much chance of completely changing to suit someone else, but I digress.

I wanted the girls to like me.

I planned on making a Tuna Nicoise for dinner. Simple, healthy and refreshing for such a warm Saturday. The girls were due to arrive around 3:30, I figured we could all pitch in on the salad and get to know one another. Well, the girls called about 3:45, and were just leaving... Oh! did I mention they were coming from Philly. I start putting the salad together as Terry fumes around the house. I have already decided that I will be leaving around 8:30, so no one (mostly myself) felt uncomfortable about being in their mother's bed overnight. It just made sense.

Katie and Emily pulled in around 6:00. Katie is 26, and Emily will be turning 30 next weekend. They could not have been any sweeter. We had a lovely dinner outside by the water, and talked about all different things. I headed out as planned, and later Terry said I got 2 thumbs up.

Who didn't know that?
