That describes the feeling of our trip to Wisconsin this last week.  It was so relaxing.....
We stayed with Ritzy's brother and his family.  We were away from TV and internet for a week, and it was wonderful.  I found out that I can survive without it, haha!!!  Sure did have a lot of e-mails to delete tho..
Ritzy's mom was doing fine, but his dad wasn't doing as well.  It sure is hard watching your parents age. 
We had a safe trip, missed all the bad weather while on the road. 
His brother's home is not air-conditioned, that was ok cause by night it was cool enough, plus I had 2 fans in the room, one at the foot of the bed and one on a table beside the bed.  That fan was blowing in my face and I loved it. 
Central heat and air are luxuries in the north and not neccessities as they are in the south. 
While we were gone the son had cleaned out the refigerator, shelves and all, also cleaned the stove for me.  He must have been really bored :-)    Don't know how he found the time, having to work so much overtime.  He's a good kid......and I appreciate what he did.  I told him so last night.......
I have spent the better part of today getting things back in order, doing laundry, mopping the kitchen floor.....Ritzy and I buy groceries tonite, so I called the son and told him I would fix his supper and it would be in the refrigerator for him when he gets home.  Fixed him a pasta salad and 2 chicken breasts.
I just heard the dryer buzz with the last load of clothes so I will be putting those away in a bit.
I can't believe it is almost July 4th.  I am gonna buy some fireworks tonite.  The son and I are going Friday to get some "big" ones.  We always shoot ours off at Granny's.
The son picked some veggies from the garden.  I am so glad when we can start eating out of the garden.  I made a cucumber salad the night we returned home. It was yummy.  My grandma always made it and I have always liked the salad.  All you do is cut up cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions and add miracle whip, salt and pepper and you have a nice salad. (I added some fresh bell peppers too)
I took a bowlful to our church picnic last night and there were only a couple of spoonfuls left.
I may cut up another one for tomorrow.  It seems to be better after sitting in the refirgerator for 24 hours.
Am waiting patiently on the okra to be ready.............yummmmmm
I reckon I am caught up for the moment.....Ritzywife out!

Today (June 8)  is the son's 26th birthday.  I cannot believe how fast the time has gone by since he was born.  He, Ritzy & I just "celebrated" at home with a nice dinner and one if his favorite cakes......a strawberry-jello cake.  The kid loves strawberries.
Now, if we could just find him a girl to catch his attention, hmmmmm.......
The daughter seems to be doing just fine living in Tulsa.  She and her "significant other" are happy.  That is more important to Ritzywife than anything. 
I want my kids to be happy........with their lives, jobs, etc..
I watched Ritzy split wood tonite.  He just does not know how to "do nothing"........I think he was having fun tho, playing with that log splitter.  
I had quite a busy day.  I had to make a trip to Pryor for the daughter, while there I shopped for the son's birthday present.  I went back thru Claremore to stop at Walgreens.  After leaving there it was lunchtime so I stopped at Arbys and got me a Turkey & Swiss sandwich.  I decided to go home thru Oologah (the scenic route)....So, I just make one big circle.  After getting home it was time to bake the cake for the son.  I baked the cake, mixed up the jello and poured it in the cake, then set that in the refrigerator.  I was ready for a nap by that time....so that's what I did, for a couple of hours.  Then, it was time to start supper for the "guys".  Hey, I just realized that with the daughter gone Ritzywife is outnumbered.  I may be outnumbered but I will never be outsmarted!!!   hehehehe!!!!!
Ritzy and I will be going to visit his family soon.  I just hope it is cool this year.  Last year the hot weather just followed us to Wisconsin. 
That's about all I have at the moment........Ritzywife out...........................
