Cook Out, Eat In

Dave grilled burgers and we sat in the dinning room and ate them. I've got to get the house sorted out. It was all very casual, even when Connie had the mayo explode in her face. It was a squeeze bottle and when she opened it for some reason it just blew back on her. She laughed it off and so did the rest of us.

It was a pleasant evening and we got to chat with her while Mike cut grass and Dave grilled. She's quite down to earth and friendly. Both parents are deaf and so she seems to "get" Mike and some of his behavior. Amazingly, Michael was calmer than I've ever seen him. Didn't act as if he was on pins and needles all evening. She has a very calming influence.

And yes, they met at the library, of all places. Being a book person, I find that a bit more acceptable than meeting on FB or in a chat room.

We're all quite impressed with her. I'm not sure how she took us. Becca and David both seem to like her.

We'll see how it goes. I really can't stand seeing Mike hurt again. It is devastating every time. He's so unhappy with his life and feels so unworthy of anything good happening to him. It is why he gets involved with such terrible people. He doesn't think he deserves any better and settles for whatever he can scrape up. He always wants to "help" them.

Anyway, keep him in your prayers. I know virtually nothing about her as a person. She seems very nice, well spoken, clean, and has a sense of humor. And she understands him in a way few people do.

I'm off to bed now.
