Memorial Day Plans?

4 years ago

What is everyone up to for the holiday weekend? We have a little quickie trip then Memorial Day we will be having a cookout. Weather is supposed to be nice (after storms tonight) although we start another warm-up Monday. May see our first 90's. My sister is passing through town too and we will get to see her tomorrow! Whatever you are doing, enjoy!

    I hope you have a great time, Tina. So nice to see your sister.

    We have nothing exciting planned, sadly.

    @Zalco, my sister lives in Charleston, so we actually saw her just a few weeks ago when we were in Charleston. She actually comes in fairly often. Our brother is here near me and we are the only ones left - of our immediate family. Parents and grandparents all gone.


    Sometimes it's nice to have nothing planned (we are not big planners, more impulsive LOL). I'm sure you will have something yummy to eat!

    We're sticking close to home, too. We just got our fifth wheel RV back from the shop last weekend, after being there since mid-January! So, it was too late to try and make any camping plans in it. DD and her BF will be here. I'm planning on us cooking out Green Chile Cheeseburgers. I want to try making some baked onion rings and stuffed jalapenos, along with sweet potato fries. Dessert is still undecided. Right now I'm thinking about blueberry cheesecake chimichangas, if I can figure out how to make them without an air fryer.

    It’s my DD’s birthday, but we won’t get to see her until next weekend.

    Maybe take the kayak out, I need to be on the water.

    And then off to Lynn’s for the cook-out. :D

    I’m putting several boxes and a rolling rack’s worth of stuff on eBay. Sounds like a hoot, huh?🤪

    Good luck @1929Spanish-GW! I am changing up our office and also have a couple of things in our guest bedroom I want to get rid of. I need to put some stuff on Market Place! Soon!

    Fixing tile in a rental.

    In other words....I'm working this weekend. Have FUN everyone!

    Hmmm not much. We are taking my dad out for ice cream, very exciting!

    Three family birthdays this weekend -- DH, son #2 and granddaughter #1. Cookout planned for Sunday, otherwise relaxing/working in the garden (that's an oxymoron, isn't it...)

  • 4 years ago

    Roxanna, any on the 30th? That’s my DD’s. :)

  • 4 years ago

    Green Chile Cheeseburgers sound divine! As does ice cream! I have some organization projects planned for Fri/Sat when we will have rain and bad storms. My energy and enthusiasm are pretty low after the past few days so we'll see what the rest of the weekend brings. It may just be quiet times with iced tea and a book.

  • 4 years ago

    Jinx -- nope, 27th (granddaughter), 28th (DH) and 31st (son). And, to cover the month nicely, a brand-new great nephew just born on the 20th!

    Happy Birthday, Ded, and to everyone celebrating loved ones’ birthdays!

    Our weather will be nice. Long walk with a friend, farmers market, barbecue on Sunday, and yard work.

  • 4 years ago

    I got nothin’. DBF has drill Sun-Mon, so I’m on my own those days. I’ve been talking about repainting my garage trim to blend with the house rather than contrast. This may be the weekend!

    Happy birthday Ded. Nothing going on here, I am laid up with an intensive stiff neck.

    Happy Birthday @dedtired!!

    Oh gosh! My DS graduates tonight. He is moving out on June 1 (here in town in a house by campus) so lots to do after he gets home here in a bit from graduation practice this morning. His graduation party is on Monday-so lots of catering and shopping to do today! Then more getting his room together with the bed and mattress etc I've ordered off Amazon! LOL (Never done that before). Then, on June 5th...me and DS, my GF and her three boys head to Cancun on a trip for the boys! All this really starts as soon as my DS gets back here in about an hour!

    Happy birthday Ded! We will be at our lake cabin. I've been here all week getting a new deck installed - huge improvement over the original that is 20 years old. Hopefully the weather will cooperate enough that we can do some grillin' and chillin' on the new deck. Seventy percent chance of rain every day so we'll see. It's a beautiful day today so I'll be taking advantage of that to get in a round of golf. It's still kind of spring cleanup time here so doing some of that, planting some flowerpots, painting my front door and staining the floor of the small, covered entry porch. On Memorial Day itself I'll be preparing food for DH's golf event - some college friends will be here Tues-Thurs. Busy weekend - it's the kickoff to summer in MN.

    My brother has a new puppy so he'll be bringing the puppy by to meet my dog this weekend. Hopefully the two get along well. And then the next day we'll be doing a family get together at my parents' house. I'd really like to spend some time relaxing in the yard after working really hard the last few weekends, including my husband and I planting eleven trees last weekend, but the weather is looking cool and rainy. I wish I had some upcoming travel plans, but my husband is changing jobs and we just couldn't make it happen anytime in the near future. Maybe we can go somewhere in the fall.

    And of course, Monday night has to potential to display one heck of a meteor shower. Or not. We won't know until it happens. Or doesn't.

    DS and one of my DD decamped to Maine yesterday with their friends, won't be back till Tuesday. So far so good... Our other DD flies to Charleston tomorrow morning to spend the weekend with her BF's family and won't be back till Wednesday.


    So we have a romantic stay-at-home weekend... don't think we have ever had the house to ourselves for so long! So far our super-exciting agenda includes jigsaw puzzles and halibut ceviche.

    I left something very important out! Thank you to all who have served our country. This country would not be what/where it is without our veterans. My father, grandfather and brother are all veterans - so thankful for their service.


    I hope you all are having a wonderful day. I am about too pooped to pop! Had a visit with my sister as she was passing through town, then a lovely quick weekend trip before cooking up a storm for a BBQ that happens in less than two hours. Oops! My break is over! Enjoy ya'll!!

    I’m currently enjoying a power outage after a severe thunderstorm. Lack of power appears to be the only damage but that’s not minor when you’re on a well.
