don't know what we're doing...dh has his forced off friday so we actually have 4 says off!

just wrote a big check for the roof and new gutters, so really want to watch the cash flow...and we just can't leave kitty jack for more than one night, like we used to...and don't want to stress him since he's lost his sight...soooo can you say house clean?

No plans except to stay home and enjoy the day.

No plans yet. (hint, hint....) ;)

Remember the Vets who came home and the POWs and MIAs. Our heroes in our country. That is the first thought I have and I spend the day with our Wounded Warriors who are adjusting to their new bodies at Walter Reed hospital. I am so glad I can. I am sad that isn't the first thing many people think of. It is an example of our dying culture. Maybe if the stores were closed our citizens might reflect less on the material things that go with Memorial Day. This is a better lesson for out children. I am sad that the majority of people do not put out a flag to show their support for country everyday. I am sure there are some of you who do but statistics prove that there are a high percentage of people who don't even know someone who has fought in our very nasty wars.

I have been trying to come up with a plan for the four day holiday weekend that won't have me worn out, but will have to do what I have to do.

On Friday we will go to the cemetery in Ohio (115 miles west) to meet with son-in-law at our daughters grave. Visit with sil and have dinner with him and drive back home.

Saturday I have a baby shower across the street to go to and after it is over we will go to Erie (99 miles north) to fetch my sister. Back home Saturday evening.

Sunday is the grand opening of the picnic season at our other daughter's home here in town. A big "to do" with about 24 people. My sis and I hope to be waited on there.

Then on Monday we make the annual trip 'back home' (130 miles east) to put flowers on our parent's and brothers graves. Back home Monday evening. Makes me tired thinking about it all...and my poor hubby does all the driving, plus taking care of 2 handicapped women. He is a gem!

I have a birthday party to go to on Friday afternoon. And another party on Sunday. Then on Tuesday, the Home where my special needs sister lives is having its first cookout. I don't have to cook for any of the events.....just show up and be a guest.

Either Friday night or Sat. morning we will be moving the cats to the country house. So mainly I plan to spend the time there with them, getting them settled in and acclimated. DH may be driving back and forth, getting the last few loads moved. Then Monday, depending upon how the 'girls' are doing, we may come back to the suburbs early enough to catch the parade there one last time. We've got a $20 off coupon for one of my favorite restaurants good for Memorial day, so possibly there for dinner. Get the trash out, and give the house one last going over before Tues. (settlement).

BBQ with relatives on Saturday, and being lazy the rest of the long weekend. :o)

We've hosted a block party every year for nearly 30 years and next Monday will be no exception.

Jodi-

Nope - I figure that's a good weekend to stay off the road, especially since we are a tourist town.

YES we do...We will be celebrating our 46th wedding anniversary.

What kind of celebrating...??? I don't know...haven't even given it a thought yet.

Guess I'd better get with it...right...?
