men-free days, summer heat, and going away

So we are a tribe of women for a few days, the men folk have gone to the woods for a camping/fishing extravaganza. In our spare time we saw Horton hears a Who and ordered Chinese for dinner. The beauty of that is....... LEFTOVERS for lunch, and maybe dinner again. We've also picked raspberies until our hands are stained and our legs are scratched up. (Gramma Lena would be proud ;) )
It's a HOT one today, already turned the A/C on. Even the small cat slept in front of the fan.

The greatest news is the hubby and I are actually going AWAY for our anniversary. For the night. WITHOUT CHILDREN. Oh 'scuse me, did I shout that? After many hours of searching hotels, motels, rooms over bars, bed and breakfasts, small towns, big towns, cities with waterfalls, a whole 'nother country (Oh Canada) with no vacancies or two night stay requirements or million dollar price tags; we thought we were sunk. After twenty years we were stuck to a smooch in the car and maybe dinner alone. To the rescue came hubby's Boss, who found a B&B, checked the availability and said "put it on the company charge card, Happy Anniversary" Huh? What? Pardon me? So we leave on Saturday, to an undisclosed location,WITHOUT kids, near two of the Finger Lakes,WITHOUT kids, maybe take in a wine tour,WITHOUT kids, a nice dinner, WITHOUT kids, and a sleepover WITHOUT KIDS!!!!!!

Do you see the importance of this? There will be NO kids. TWENTY years and EIGHTEEN of them being a mom/dad/parental unit. Maybe I won't come home........

Have a BLAST!!!

There are ALL SORTS of things you can do without the kids along. I hope you pack your Altoids, and just remember: part of a vacation is coming home again.

That's why it's called a 'vacation' and not 'moving'. :0)

Oh, no she din't mention the Altoids!

They will hunt you down, and find you- no matter where you go. You know it's true- how else can one explain the children radar for when you are on the phone?

I hope you guys have a totally awesome time! A chance to remember WHY you liked each other in the first place- love it.

Love you and Happy Anniversary in advance!
