IT IS FRIDAY (at least here) any interesting plan for the weekend ?

OK
Since I'm starting chemo round #1 on Monday I am making sure that I connect with people who I've put off for some time as I might not feel up to taking calls and meeting for coffee next week. So I have a couple of breakfasts planned (though I'm having some problems and can't eat when I'm out of the house), 2 coffee get togethers and 1 BBQ to attend.

It's kind of a pre-hibernation rush just in case my body doesn't like chemo. My body just doesn't like additives. I don't do well with drugs so I'm preparing for the worse and hoping for the best. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised if things go well with chemo.

Camping
We are going camping. Just want to get away from everything. One of our daughtera is meeting us there and renting a cabin. We are going to have a big bond fire, roast marshmellows and warm up by the fire. Have a couple beers and eat some good food. Love these camp outs LOL. It is supposed to be a chilly weekend but we have lots of fire wood. Hubby has been cutting it up for days. Have probably cut up 10 cords of wood. We have enough to last until next year. Yipee. Smores here we come

Saying a prayer for you. We
Saying a prayer for you. We had a pre chemo party for my mom. We did the same thing not knowing how chemo would affect her we prepared for the worst and it is going okay. She ended up having more problems with the port than with the chemicals.

Thank you.

I'm so glad to hear that your mom did well with the chemo. How great that you threw her a party.

lots to do before the winter solstice
I am taking tomorrow off work to relax and occasionally listen to that shake your booty music for women and by women. The rest of the weekend I will be getting shrubs in the ground, cleaning and drinking adult refreshments.

I will be joined by Ericka Badhu, India Arie, Barbra Streisand and Joan baez as soon as I send the hubs to work.
Can some one from Canada send me some wine?

I don't know if it is legally possible; I will look into it. Do you have anything you are specifically interested in? I apreciate your interest in our wine. I hope you fully enjoy tomorrow. Where do you live? If you are a wine + theatre connisseur, Niagara-On-The-Lake has three fantastic theatres, all of which produce George Bernard Shaw plays or plays from his lifetime, The town has fantastic restaurants, inns, hotels as well as wineries in + around the town. For more than twenty years my husband + I have visited at least once a year until 2009. I really prefer it to Niagara Fall, although the falls themselves are beautiful.

Now that I think of it, Niagara-On-The-Lake/Niagara Falls would be a great place for a palooza, or if not a full palooza, a Northern palooza - there is something for everone, culture, wine, fine retaurants, gambling, beautiful countryside. It might be perfect for Southern Ontarions + Northern Americans...or Kerry could possibly drag an unlucky deer up to share.

UPDATE!
I just googled it + it is illegal to send by bail. If I know where you live, I can keep that in mind if anyone travels near there; they could take it across the border. For example, my daughter has an upcoming hockey tournament in Pennsylvana, we have our own business + there is US travel. I will do what I can, just enjoy tomorrow.

wine regulations
You can barely send wine across state lines without huge problems, permits, certain states can only send to certain states, I doubt you can get from outside the U.S. without problems. I was going to offer California wine, but don't know if I can even send from here. I'll have to check into it.

Sending is hard,
but when we have travelled to us (used to live there + travelled back + forth) - we were allowed 2 bottles I believe. That's why I trying to find out where ketz lives, in case we can take it to her somehow.

Since I will be
out of town next week and weekend, I will use this weekend for activities. My husband and I will be celebrating our 28th Wedding Anniversary 1 month late at the Poconos; 25- 30 Oct.
