It's Been A While..........

Posted by: cheryl

Can't believe it has been this long since my last post. I have just been taking it easy. I've been to a few baseball games, watching that great-nephew. They are really fun to watch. Got the rest of the garden planted. Bought a few flowers, and still have to plant them.
It is supposed to be wet this week around here. I kept looking for rain today but it never happened.
Ritzy's Dad is having some problems. I don't know why we aren't on our way up there. I told Ritzy that nothing is holding us here, but he is waiting, for some reason. Dad was supposed to have his other leg amputated either this evening or tomorrow. I'm guessing that since we have not heard anything the surgery is tomorrow. It is still a risky surgery for someone Dad's age and in his condition.
I just told Ritzy that if it was my Dad there would be no hesitation, I would be there!!!!
If it doesn't rain it out, that nephew has another ballgame tomorrow evening. I am planning to go watch him.
Beleive it or not that is all I have for now..
Ritzywife is out.....

Oklahoma Weather.................

Well, Easter weekend came and went. I am still tired thinking about last week. It was a very cool and wet Easter Sunday. Saturday, on the other hand was warm and sunny. That easter egg hunt at the church on Sunday at 5 took place IN the church. We had about a dozen kids and 510 eggs, so you could say every kid took home their share of eggs & candy. I am sure the parents will thank us for that.
Back to the weather. This weather has been something else. We turn on the AC for a few days then have to turn on the heater for a few days. It's been that way for a couple of months. The furnace is on today, but looking at the forecast it looks like we will be needing the AC in a day or so. But......that's how it is in Oklahoma when the seasons are changing.
It has been too cold to plant the rest of our garden, now it is too wet from all the rain we got this weekend.
Ritzy was working Saturday (splitting wood with the electic splitter) until later in the afternoon when I walked over to where he was and told him to shut everything down and come with me. I had ordered our Dinner at the Owasso Olive Garden and told him we were going to pick it up and bring it back to the house to eat it. Ritzywife's treat.......I told him he had worked hard enough for one day ;-)
We picked up the food, brought it home and ate it out on the patio. Was a very nice and quiet dinner.
I have supper cooking in the crock-pot now and the laundry is all done. I am just resting today to recover from all the running around last week.
With all that, Ritzywife is out for today.......

FINALLY!! A Chance To Take A Breather.........

This has been one of the busiest weeks I have had in a long time. Earlier today I was trying to think about what I was doing Monday and I was so tired I couldn't even remember ;-) Finally this evening I remembered. It all started Monday when I was helping my cousin pack up her kitchen and dining room to get ready for some re-modeling she is going to have done. That little job took all day. Tuesday I made a trip to the Vinita Wal-Mart to buy breakfast supplies, plastic eggs and candy for our Sunday morning breakfast at our church following the Sunrise service. The eggs and candy are for an Easter Egg Hunt planned for 5 that afternoon. Wednesday I made another trip to Wal-Mart to get some Easter Lillies for the service and some "prizes" for the kids. I also had to fix some homemade chicken and noodles for our supper at church Wednesday nite. And.....in the midst of all this I had to get the Monthly report ready for Wednesday nite's Business Meeting. Today, I made yet another trip to Vinita to by my own groceries and pick up more plastic eggs. We stufffed the eggs I had bought earlier in the week, Wednesday nite and had half the candy left, so......more eggs needed. After bringing home the groceries and unloading them by myself. Oh, yea don't get me started there: the daughter was doing some excercises when I got home and asked for help to bring in the groceries. But noooooo, she was in the middle of her workout, well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,excuse me!!!!!!! Kind of ticked me off, can ya tell???
Anyways after unloading everything I went up to the church where 3 more ladies were waiting and we stuffed the remaining eggs. We ended up with 510 eggs. "Somebody" is going to have fun hiding all those eggs, and it ain't gonna be me!!!!
I finally got home at 4pm and had about an hour before I had to start supper.
The neice called and asked if I could watch the 4-month old (while she and her hubby coached their son's baseball game)and I said ok cause gee, how much trouble can a baby be??? She is no trouble. Well a storm was coming and it ended up that the game was cancelled and they came back and got her. I got supper ready, cleaned up the mess, took my bath, watched a little tv and here I am.
I am ready for a vacation!!!!! Gonna rest tomorrow and Saturday. I do have to color eggs and make my salad for Easter Dinner tho.
Sunday will start very early, (around 6:00am), getting that breakfast ready, the sunrise service is at 7:00am, then breakfast, then regular sunday school and church. Sunday nite starts with the egg hunt at 5:00pm then church service.
Ritzywife will be glad when Sunday has come and gone!!!!
With that Ritzywife is out!!
