Good, now I get to be the first one here for a change.
You all always go to bed before I do, since most people are back east. lol

In the picture posted are my two gorgeous sons.
I picked up the one on the left in the red shirt this morning. Was so glad to see him! I did give him lots of hugs to the point he said "Stop". hehe
Then we went over to the dental school in Portland, OR, to make sure we could find it on Monday okay. He was a little depressed when he saw it in real life. It was an old building while the rest of the building surrounding were mostly brand new. This is on what they call hospital hill. Guess the other schools he has interviewed at so far like Marquette Univ., Univ. of MD- Baltimore, and Arizona-Mesa, all are the new building with the state of art technology. So we shall see what happens. It would be in-state tuition for him tho.
We stopped at a factory outlet mall to look at the Nike store. He bought a pair of shorts and I didn't buy anything, I behaved very well. Then onto the regular mall to look around.
Ate lunch at Red Robin and had a very good long talk. We looked around the mall again and he was showing me what he wants to get his girlfriend soon.
I actually looked at rings with him!!! I am not ready for this at all!!!
He ended up going to lift weights with his dad so I worked in the garden for a bit and got some more bulbs planted. Still have a ways to go. Plus the dahlia plants are looking so so sad and need to be taken care of too. In time, I hope.
Then came home and cooked a good meal for him and his brother who is 18 and will graduate from hs in June. Then they went off to see friends tonight.
So all in all, it was a very good happy day for me.
Hope you all have a good weekend.
Later, Carol (DR)
