We usually get together at my parents house for a dinner together. My nephew has had Pharyngitis so I am not sure if we are planning to get together or not. I bought some soda and watermelon in case. I plan to make cucumber sandwiches as well as whatever food my children want to eat since they are so picky. We are down to only one dull light in this living room. Two of the pull cords on the wall lights have broke now. When my dad was staying here we still had two lights and it was so dark he couldn't see the keys to type so he was using a flashlight lol. I don't look at the keys when I type so I don't mind the darkness. I plan to take apart one of the lights tomorrow and see if I can put a new pull cord in it. There is a short parade in town that I will be taking my kids to. I hope to get time to paint the computer room ceiling as you know I STILL have not gotten time to get it done. As soon as I do that I can get rid of this old computer and hook up the new one and put everything back in the computer room. Crossing my fingers I will get time soon.

Wow, you sound busy.. I understand your father's frustration in typing in the dark. Though I have taken typing in school, I am not 100% sure on some keys (Like how many times do I use the % sign?) so I prefer to have light, in case I need a letter I don't use often or I forgot where it is. We used to go to our neighbor's house for Memorial Day weekend, but he has gotten older and isn't able to put on such a big gathering anymore, so we are just hanging out today.

I am so tired right now. I wish I could take a nap. I need to go to the store to get mayonnaise for the cucumber sandwiches I am going to be making. Memorial day without my husband and without my dad here as well feels very different.

Well so far it is 10:30 am and I just got the dishes done is all and my kids had their breakfasts. I am enjoying my coffee before I hop in the shower. It looks beautiful out. I can't wait to hang the clothes out on the line. It's the simple things that make me feel good.

It's really not much planning is the nice part. My som doesnt want to go to the parade. He just got a new video game he wasn't allowed to play until today. My daughter is going to the parade with my sister and her children.

@shaggin Your son is so normal. New video games seem to trump everything else! lol It's raining in our area so I'm sure a lot of parades got canceled.

They are really good and easy to make. I think I should take a shower soon and then get started on the spread as its supposed to chill a few hours after mixing the ingredients.
