Mikey's Girl

Mikey has a new gal in his life. Her name is Giselle (we call her 'G'). She is part of our bowling group on Saturday mornings. Mikey broke up with his former girlfriend, Wendy. Her parents don't allow her to do, well, anything. She goes to the same workshop as Mike and to bowling, and that is it. Mikey wanted someone in his life who had more energy and whose parents would allow her to do more, like go to movies and swim. My mother and Giselle's mother, Mary, have become good friends over the course of this past year. We look forward to every Saturday morning because of the people we have met and have become close to. Giselle is active and such a sweetheart. She is a former gymnast and loves to swim. She is carefree and so much fun. Her parents (fellow Italians) are good people and we enjoy them. Mikey has fretted the past couple of months because he has wanted to take Giselle to the annual Ball sponsored by his work. He didn't want to take Wendy anymore and was afraid of what we all would think. We told him that it was his life and his choice and to do what he thought was right. He decided to take Giselle to the ball. Both sets of parents joined them Saturday evening for a night out. It was a special night and Mikey had a blast! My parents even commented about how he looked so happy with Giselle. Wendy's parents, on the other hand, wouldn't even talk to Mike, Giselle, her parents, or my folks, which we thought was so silly. Oh well! Mikey looks forward to more good times with his new gal. Aren't they cute? He even bought a corsage to match her dress!
