My mother is in the States for just over a week, with a trip to Boston in the middle of that. So she suggested getting together yesterday or today.
Yesterday, I was resting as much as was compatible with the housecleaning binge I posted about last night. Today,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
adrian_turtle was in town for about seven hours, on her way to Philly: she could have gone straight through, but we'd agreed to get together for the afternoon.
I explained these plans to Mom, who asked if Adrian and I could spare an hour, because she'd like to meet her. I asked Adrian, who liked the idea, so the three of us had lunch together. We wound up at Veselka (a mostly Ukrainian place in the East Village), sitting outside at a table meant for two that they pulled a third chair up to.
I think we all had a good time. Adrian told me that she likes my mother, and I'm fairly sure Mom likes Adrian. I was a little nervous: how often do you bring a sweetie to meet your mother? She liked the last one (cattitude), but that's no guarantee.
After lunch, we went to the Sock Man, on St. Mark's Place; I bought enough socks that I can now discard all my worn-out and faded socks, plus two more pairs of tie-dyed socks for silliness and special occasions. Then Mom went back to my aunt Lea's, and Adrian and I went uptown to spend a couple of hours together, after which I took her back to Penn Station, found the platform her train was boarding from, kissed her goodbye, and hopped back on the subway.
