TGIF-any weekend plans?

13 years ago

I guess some of you will be preparing for the holiday with shopping, cleaning etc. I will be having dinner at my daughters home so Im doing little preparation. Im going to a "barn sale" tomorrow and Im anxious to see what treasures I might find. Sunday I may do a little baking and Monday Im driving into pa to see my daughter and spend a few days with my sister and brother in law. Hope everyone has some time carved out for something pleasant to do. Satine

Looking forward to sleeping till 7 or so. Saturday we are splitting the last of some well seasoned black walnut wood and chopping down a few more trees to season up for next year. Sunday I am putting up the tree and doing some decorating so I don't have to spend my time doing it over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Tonight I am going to the high school musical. They are doing "Oklahoma". Tomorrow we have a wedding for some good friend's son. Sunday I am going to watch football and knit! :) Been a while since I had two activities in one weekend. LOL

Supposed to get my parking lot swept today, but since it's snowing right now I might have to get the guy to plow it first...rofl. Today I will finish up some touch ups in a suite I painted yesterday, clean the suite, get all my crap out and finish up the paperwork so new tenant can move in tomorrow. Oh I also have to fix his mailbox. Then I will go to one of my other buildings to do a checkout and take pictures of the stuff the tenant left behind (I poked my head in there the other day and saw some furniture, a freezer, few other things.) Then I will vacuum the building I live in, take out the garbages and the dreaded newspapers that pile up, clean all the doors and windows, clean the laundry room. If I still have any oomph after that's done I will work in another suite that needs my attention. Just another day in paradise here...

Marilyn, You sure keep busy gal. I was exhausted from the trip...along with being cold. Enjoyed company, they were great guests. No grandkids visiting, but the animals were exhausted too from playing with the visitors. We all took a long nap today. Went to HP this morning and had to wear jeans and a sweatshirt, it cleared up but is back to the icky weather. I do know you live in the NW corner of NM, but was floored to hear their rainfall numbers. My guests are following storms all the way home to NC. Am on a roll though to get some things done. My son lives with me but travels a great deal, is with airline security and was called out last Thursday during the upheaval to LAX for a month. He is a great help when here but also tends to divert me from getting projects finished. Good diversions like watching movies and eating too much, when home he just kicks back. So, I have 4 weeks to play all day if I decide to. Bought tile at HP to finish the bath surround and have tile to do same with my fireplace. The kitchen had been remodeled about 5 years ago by previous owners, but they did a terrible job on the counter tile job. Tile was butted right next to each other, very little grout will stick in seams and I am constantly cleaning spills which seep in between tiels. Most likely this will be another tile job soon as I hate how it looks and the work. Am also putting a cement resurfacer on the concrete patio. Paid some good money to have this done on the driveway and looks like I can do as well myself. Thinking of putting a terra cotta tint in it. The patio is so old I really don't care if I mess up..hopefully next year will build a deck. If it turns out well, may not have to build that deck. Thunder and lightening....hot bath and snuggle in for the evening. Good grief, it is almost Sept. and we hardly had a summer....too early to talk about snuggling in. Sandy

I watered my tomato plants this morning and one of my flower beds. Cleaned the kitchen really well today. Washed all the dishes in the dishwasher. Took a good 2 hour nap then played on the computer. I've taken my shower and am dressed for bed. Will get up and water some more in the morning then to church. We will pick up some fried chicken for lunch. The son is preparing Father's day dinner Sunday at 6:30. I'm really looking forward to his grilling, he is a great cook. I'm taking potato salad and comeback salad dressing. That should about finish the weekend.

Staked tomatoes Fri, have more to do but it was going to rain ... and did, plus got somewhat cooler: I've been sleeping in skivvies, sometimes with a sheet, last night pulled up the sheet part way through, plus an afghan. Garden wet ... pulled off half a dozen or so tomato worms this morning, as I dislike seeing just stalks on the top of tomato plants. Some beans need picking today, to take to the churches tomorrow, plus squash, zucchini, possibly a few of the last of the melons, cabbages, tomatoes and likely some radishes. Pick beets, with tops left on, broccoli, Swiss chard and lettuce on Sunday morning to avoid wilting ... and often arrive at church about the end of worship. Don't know how much of that I can do, after the rain, but it has faired off now, but won't dry as quickly, due to the lower temperature. Don't appreciate having to pick beans after rain ... ... and what's a descriptive word to relate to picking beans? Boring! Lots of weeds to pull, some of them taller than I, in my better that kilometre/3/4 mile of garden rows. Sometimes I take leftovers from the churches to one of the social agencies: Salvation Army, Women's Shelter, Mission Services, that operates several hostels, or Ark Aid, that offers a drop-in centre including supper for disadvanteged/homeless. Sometimes visit son and his partner Sun afternoon, but often in summer he's away at a festival, fair or other gathering, blowing balloons into shapes for kids, in which case it's often on Monday. And the landlord plus another friend gets part of the garden stuff. Actually, when one is retired ... ... every day is weekend. ole joyfuelled (with some help from veggies: tomatoes from the vine taste better than ones picked green and shipped for a few days in controlled atmosphere trucks to hasten ripening)

Weather permitting-- I hope to get my outdoor white lights placed in my trees. I decorate about 10 tall exterior trees with lights each year.

DD #1 has a soccer tournament this weekend, Sat & Sun. Should be a great weekend weather-wise, but I wish weren't tied up with soccer all weekend.

I am hosting dinner on Thursday, but I would rather wait until the weekend rush is done to hit the grocery stores. I can go Monday morning.

I did my holiday food shopping today. Have to work this weekend but will have 5 days off after that. I'll be dreading he following week, however, because I let them change Monday for a Saturday next week to accomodate (sp?) someone else's schedule. So, will be working five almost in a row...one day off in between.

Possibly go to church on Sunday but the rest of the time I will most likely be working getting ready for Thanksgiving. So much to do around here.

Our local little theater group is putting on The Odd Couple so I'm going to se that with some lady friends and then we'll go for an early dinner tomorrow. Sunday I'm going to make some dinner rolls and freeze them for Thanksgiving and might make some Manhattan clam chowder for the freezer, too. That's it.

With DH still recouperating from his surgery, we'll be spending a fairly quiet weekend. Will run to the grocery store this morning. DD is coming down for the day. Then tomorrow, we'll probably just hang around the house. I may run down to the mall for a few mintues, to grab some Christmas decorations that are on sale, but not much else. May try to encourage DH to get out and maybe go someplace for lunch.

DH is working his one weekend a month this weekend. I will be going to a yarn shop about 45 minutes away with the knitting circle for a field trip today. Tomorrow? Who knows?! We generally don't make big plans, just do whatever we feel like when we get up in the morning.

Attending a Madrigal Dinner tonight. Love Madrigals, the music, songs, costumes, and food. Even tho the venue is small they do a very good job. A little earlier than I prefer, I like something much closer to Christmas but am looking forward to it.
