Memorial Day Weekend

[cajunman4life]

For those of us who live in the USA, what are your plans for Memorial Day? My girlfriend and I are going camping, something I haven't done in about 3-5 years. We went out and bought a brand new tent tonight, it's pretty neat it's got an attached enclosed "patio". Anyways, again, what are your plans?

We have two cookouts this weekend so we'll be eating lots of burgers and brats.

[Guest Serpentine]

Bell, you can have my brats too.

 

I am spending the weekend with my father. I am doing house repairs for him.

[Head Guru]

I will be preparing for a well deserved vacation.

While not having memorial day the coming weekend here in Sweden, I am going to visit my mom.

[j2k4b]

I will be moving!

[TCH-Rick]

We will be with family and friends all weekend for my daughter's wedding on Saturday.

[TCH-Bruce]

We'll be going to the Ohio Caverns. Probably do some grilling and maybe even play some golf.

[cajunman4life]

Sounds like everyone is going to have some form of fun!

[TCH-Tim]

A few friends and I are doing a Ronald McDonald House fun run and then we're going to deep fry a turkey. Cookouts are great, but fryouts are even better.

I'll be spending the weekend helping friends move. (and no, it's not KraZy4Becky).

I will be refereeing in a soccer tournament...total of about 10-11 games and $200+ cash.

Rick - Congratulations on your daughter's upcoming nuptuals.

 

Yes, this weekend is Memorial Day weekend in the States. The last

Monday in May we honor the fallen. Every year (almost) with our arts

commission I help present and participate in a patriotic concert/show

to honor and show respect

for the war dead by recognizing our living veterans of all service

branches. Our community band will perform throughout, set the stage

and be the 'background'. Numerous musical acts as well as historic

readings and reenactments will be presented in our high schools

auditorium (960 all new seats thanks to arts comm!)

 

About halfway into the program I will join another arts comm member

(who in fact is taking over my post as vice-chair; sort of the

unofficial handoff here I guess) in a pair of guitar / viola duets

:"Ashoken Farewell" and "Aura Lee". Then I get to sing again in the

choir in a joint effort with the community band.

 

This show has always proved memorable and very emotional.

 

Saturday and Sunday are regular work days for me. Monday we shall go to the parade, watch the floats and listen to speeches. Then maybe later we'll grill up a few burgers or something.
