We Stay Local

My husband worls at one of those stores that sells plants, trees, flowers, and other yard and gardening supplies.  In our part of the USA, it is common to have to wait until the end of May to plant.  So, with the extra busyness of the season, everyone has to work at least that Saturday.  So, we stay local.  ALSO, this is usually the weekend closest to my mother-in-law's birthday, and so we have a celebration that Sunday afternoon.  (Lots of relatives live in the general area, and so we will have several generations at these events -- often 50-65 people.)

What is the  O.T.  ?         Isn't Memorial Day May 25 th?      That is so far away I can't even think that far ahead ... ha ha   I'm thinking about the Kentucky Derby right now....FIRST SATURDAY IN MAY

I am a big planner-I reserve 3 camping trips and one disney Trip each year ONE year in advance. The places we do-if you don't book that far in advance you DON"T GET IT>

My husband is on call 3 wks of each month , so I must work around his ON CALL scheudle.

Awwww.........the Derby!   Our fine city is gearing up for it - the big Thunder Over Louisville is Saturday!   Unfortunately with all this rain there will be some issues with the Ohio coming out of its banks!  I'm sure the 100,000+ will make the best of it though!

As for Memorial Weekend - I plan to be at home and be in my new POOL!   I finally convinced hubby that we really did need it - even if he did cave because of the Grands!

No plans yet.  hubby is supposed to be off for Memorial Day weekend as he is supposed to be off but never know for sure this far ahead.  We had several ideas of what we'll do IF we get to but nothing absolute yet.  Whatever it will involve fishing and being on the water, camping or staying in a motel - the weather will also determine a lot.  While unusual - snow/blizzard is still a possibility.  Also what might be going on fire wise.

My own Derby

Off to the slot machines in Biloxi MS.  Dolphins playing in the harbor...and I have a the first week of May all to myself.  Memoral Day is spent with the BBQ and friends over for some catching up on what everyone was into over the holidays.  May is play month...and I can't WAIT!!!

If you like playing slots - I know it's further from you but you might like to think about coming to Deadwood (the historic/legendary 'gold town' in the Black Hills of Dakota) sometime.  Lots of 'things' to do in the area.  The first weekend of June, there is a VolksMarch at Crazy Horse Memorial that allows you to walk up and actually be on the arm of the carving.  Spectacular view from up there.  And then there is also the 'Famous/Infamous' Sturgis Motorcycle Rally first week of Aug.  Plus the slots at Deadwood.

Brian's paper making factory will be shut down on Memorial Day for maintence so we are going down on a bus to a Brewer's game with his co-workers and their families. I am hoping that my pain from my post-thoracotomy site can handle the baseball park's seating. I am thinking of bringing a pillow. I hope they let me bring it in.

It is neat to see what people have planned.
