Ruby Tuesday those two words have great memories for me. I
was to meet with my Husbands friends in America. The three of us Hub my boy and
myself had a most enjoyable yet long flight to see these lovely people. I was
so excited. Oh, it was the most amazing holiday of my life and I am sure my Son
will agree. As for my Hub, I have never seen him so very relaxed as he was when
he was there. The couple we stayed with were spectacular hosts and the first
place we went to for a meal just after the flight to the US was Ruby Tuesdays.
Being a vegetarian made it an interesting afternoon, though
macaroni chees was an option. The only option. But the service was so typical
American just like you see on the TV.
The experiences we had on that holiday and another we took
with our friends was simply breath taken and I just felt at home.
Our Son went to visit a clay pigeon shooting field and the
man who took him under his wing was the most interesting person as far as how a
total stranger could just care and like and inspire someone they have never
met. Our Son really loved Norm and that day was one that has left gentle loving
fingerprints on his heart. We went to a horse ranch where my Son rode a horse
and we ate apples from the trees around us. We all took a boat with leather
seats, I have never seen anything like that, it was a boat we could drive with
leather seats… The ones I have been used to had wooden seats. Or, plastic.it
was the most relaxed I have ever been. The weather was stunning, the water was
calm. I was so comfortable and as far from England and the bother that we had
left there with ex’s and so on. No one could hurt us and there was absolutely no
stress or worries. I honestly can tell you I have never had that in my life. I
think my friend was slightly tense as my 13-year-old Son drove the boat, but
her Husband was quite calm as he coached Boy Wonder along the ripples. Mind
you, this boat was enormous.
My Husband sat in the vast garden which looked over a golf
course in between the trees on a garden swing as deer silently crept to the
huge tubs of food left for them. As he swung back and forward I could feel the
stress and emotions of the past few months just leaving his body. I felt my
shoulders seem to release unwanted weight, as the relief of everything lifted. It
was spiritual. The people we stayed with were our saviours and I thank God for
them. If only they knew just what they did for us all.
So, as soon as I read the words Ruby Tuesday, I melt with reminiscence
of the romance of our visit to Tennessee America.
