What are you plans for this fine summer weekend which include: the longest day of the year! Whoohooo!
The negative is the days start getting shorter from here on out. *heavy sigh*
Hubby and I were heading down to Hershey for a conference, but Hubby hurt his back last week, and can’t go. It is a bit over 5 hours one way, and we were to drive down Sunday. Hubby was going to head for some hardware store outside of Philadelphia on Monday, and then we would drive home Tuesday morning. He decided (wisely so in my opinion) that all those hours in the vehicle probably weren’t going to do his back any favors.
Once he made that decision, I needed to decide if I wanted to go myself (blogging conference) and honestly there were only two classes I was interested in, so I cancelled. Since one class was Sunday afternoon, I’d have had to have been on the road my 8am so as not to have missed it. If I ran into traffic of any sort and missed that class, I would have spent about $750 for one class (hotel, food, gas).
Just reading that, I am glad I cancelled my reservation.
The result is that now Hubby and I have 3 days without Mr Max! I am not cancelling the doggie-sitter. Hubby suggested a quick trip to the Finger Lakes, but since he’s on pain meds, I said no. What good is wine tasting if one of us cannot taste? We plan on a fall trip to one of the lakes anyway.
So then I thought about the Niagara Wine Trail and he can be my DD.
Hubby said no.
Darn it.
Which brings us to loose ends for Sunday! Well, there are worse things than being carefree and on our own for a few days.
So, What Are Your Weekend Plans?

We just returned from a 12 day drip involving drive up to Indy to briefly visit my girls and spouses and new granddaughter We flew from Indy into Vegas then rented a car to drive to Reno for a three day tournament. From there we went to California on the Pacific coast highway Stopped in Monterrey , Buellton, Santa Yznez,
Took the 17 miles scenic trip Around Pebble Beach golf resort. Went to their club house and had a drink. Very nice place. Then we made our way down the rest of the PCH to Malibu , long beach, Huntington Beach, Laguna beach and stayed at the pelican resort in newport (a Marriott property). Stayed there for a days and flew out of Vegas 12 days later! It was a beautiful trip! I just wonder where they go on vacation in their beachfront homes and beautiful boats!!!! Do I sound jealous..,,,,
Ann says
WOW Pauline, that sounds like a fantastic trip!! I am glad you had a good time, and congratulations on your new granddaughter.
And yes, I do wonder what the rich and famous do for a treat when their house is on Malibu or Hawaiian beachfront.

Washing machine sprung a leak all over the kitchen floor this morning. Looks like my weekend will be supervising the repair. If it can’t be repaired by our son…then I’ll worry about that later this weekend. I have a spare I inherited from my dad and no one knows if it’s in working order. I may find out this weekend, pending the evaluation of the first machine.
Ann says
Good luck, Marie! That definitely does not sound like fun weekend plans.
