Holiday Weekend

Tweet

In the USA, Memorial Day is tomorrow and many people will be home from work. It’s the “unofficial” beginning of summer, according to some newscasters. John Wooden said: “Make each day your masterpiece.” That’s good advice. Each day we have, should be important to us and we should TRY to make the best use of each day of our lives. Did you have special plans for this weekend? We had a family cook-out yesterday. Everyone prepared some food and the weather was very accommodating. It was warm, but comfortable in the shade. The screened-porch side of the house is on the shady side in the afternoon, so that’s where I chose to sit. My kids and grandkids and great grandkids played Corn Hole and jumped on the trampoline. Everyone had a good time. My oldest grandson told me that he is writing now and I was pleased to hear that. They stayed until way after dark and had dessert. I was tired and came inside to sit in my comfortable chair, and went to bed as soon as they all left about 10:30. My grandson didn’t know that I had published my first novel a few months ago and he wanted a copy to read, but then he left without it. He lives nearby so it’s not a problem. I had made hot dog chili and some banana bread. My youngest son cooked chicken and hot dogs on the grill outside and there was lots to eat. Macaroni salad, vegetable cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans, deviled eggs. There wasn’t much left over after everyone had their fill. Wherever you are, I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
