Holiday weekend

heh heh, amen

Hi Donna, Nothing wrong with spending time with family. It could be very entertaining with the competition amongst the men in the family. At least you don't have to do the cooking. LOL You probably have enough with the clean-up though! LOL I agree with you on keeping a few dollars in your pocket instead of giving it to the big oil execs. They don't need any more. Any time spent with family is time well spent. Enjoy your holiday weekend with all of your family. Have fun!!

Hi cjgrooms, Isn't it amazing how long it takes us to realize that our parents did lots of things because they were trying to protect us? It really comes to light when you have a family of your own. You find yourself doing and thinking of the same things your parents went through. I personally like to stay close to home for holidays. Like you stated, holidays seem to be when the drunks do come out and make things not as safe. I really worry about the grandchildren that are just starting to drive. The things that could happen while they are on the road. It is not always easy to get them to see why you have so much concern. They just seem to think we don't want them to have fun. Enjoy your holiday weekend, safe and sound at home, like me!

I certainly see things different from this side than i did from the other side!

my baby girl finally get's her own prnicess room. we are so excited about that. she can't wait. she is going to go to grandma's house and will be suprised to see her new room when she get's home!!

Hi 34 momma, A comedy club sounds like a good time happening!! It is definitely a good start! Maybe something will come up that will help you decide. Then again time with family is a good thing, especially if it is beneficial. Redoing the kids' rooms could be very beneficial for all concerned. LOL Maybe not as much fun as going someplace or doing something special. It depends on who you ask. LOL Have a good weekend, not matter what you are doing or where you happen to be!

Hi moondancer, Happy Birthday to both of your grandsons!! A Bar-B-Que sounds like fun and I especially like the idea of water fun during the heat. It sounds like an awesome time for all that attend. Have loads of fun and a very nice holiday weekend!!

You too crazy, I hope you and your family have a terrific day together. And thank you.

Hi Bethany, So true, more drivers that do drink. I feel better just staying home. With my family about to be hit by Gustav, I can watch the news bulletins, instead. I feel they are pretty safe with their location inland. Have a nice day..

Hi metschia, Last year sounded like loads of fun!! I'll cross my fingers for you so something out of the blue happens like that again this year.LOL At least I hope you get to the beach for a day or so. That sounds like fun too. Enjoy your weekend, no matter what you end up doing. The important thing is enjoy it.

Hi polly, Summer has just gotten up and gone away without telling us it was leaving. LOL I am totally amazed at how fast summer went this year. Will we be lucky enough to have winter go by that fast? Probably not!!! I just spent this weekend with my daughter who lives out of town. We had a really good time and pretended it was the Labor day weekend. The grandkids had a blast! This weekend will be good too. A Bar-B-Q close to home with more grandkids. Gotta love'em. Have a good holiday weekend!

Hi gerty, Sometimes our work schedule just doesn't allow us time off for the holidays. This year we get 5 days off. Sorry you will both be working this weekend. Maybe you can enjoy a weekend off together next weekend. Good luck to you, and enjoy what you can of this weekend.

Hi cajun, School starts here on August 27th. The kids go to school for three days and have the weekend off. Not much time to go too far from home, so better to stay close and have a Bar-B-Q, and some fun with family. Enjoy the holiday weekend, and have some fun!

Hi ambiepam, Grandparents are so dear. I lost all of my grandparents years ago, but I still miss them. I always tried to spend as much time with them as I could. I learned so much from them while I was growing up. I think that would be a good weekend if you could get to go see them. Good luck and enjoy your weekend, and your time with them.

Hi palonghorn, Both choices sound like fun! Either way you will be relaxing and enjoying yourselves. A good way to spend a holiday. May you have a good one!
