I attended the funeral service for my daughter's best friend's father today.  As I was going to the service I was making plans to stop at Claremore to visit an old friend whom I had not seen in over 10 years.  You may wonder why so long, but we just got out of touch and I didn't know where or how to find her.  I recently found her on Facebook and we visited back and forth  a little bit.  Recently  I saw that she was opening a Boutique in Claremore so I decided I was going to pay her a visit whenever I got the chance.   Today's activities gave me that chance.  I walked in and we hugged and immediately started talking about everything.  Just like old times before.  It was a wonderful visit.  There have been lots of changes over the years in both our lives but as far as I am concerned our friendship has never changed.  I would have to say that she is and always will be my best friend.......I am not letting "life" get in the way again.  Her friendship is worth that to me.
Now on to the "soapbox".....I keep seeing family members and people I know post pictures of them doing different things.......Well, my problem is that these same people who are doing these activities profess to be Christians.  I have to ask my self "How in the world can you call yourself a Christian and be doing the things I see you posting?!?"  It is beyond comprehension.  And they wonder why their lives are in such messes.  Geez people....don't you get it????  We are supposed to look different than the "world", not blend in........People should see something different in our lives.  "Our walk should match our talk."   When it doesn't, we are asking for trouble and we lose any credible witness we thought we might have. 
Ok, I'll step down now.
I get to go sit with the babies tomorrow while the daughter works her half day.   This grandma loves those two little boys and they are gonna know it.....
I was looking at a large tree limb just right to hang a couple of swings on the other day,  Now, if I can only get Ritzy to get up in the tree to hang the chains/ropes, haha!!!
Our garden has produced the largest onions we have ever had this year....they are about the size of a softball.  Our potatoes are being dug now, a month early, and they are really nice too.  I have some green beans that I need to pick in the next couple of days.  The weather has been really dry this May, but we are looking to get some rain tonight and tomorrow.  I can hardly wait on the tomatoes and okra.  I just hope nature doesn't just shut off the faucet like it did last year.  Our gardens were devastated.  We got nothing!!!
Our grass is already turning brown and it's only May here in Oklahoma.    Ritzywife's crappie fishing was crappy this year.......(sorry about that).  I had such high hopes, hmmm....
Well, I am going to turn in early to get rested up for those grandsons tomorrow.............Ritzywife out....
