So, what is everyone doing this weekend?

Post by mutepointe »

I'm finally getting nice weather at the right time to do yardwork. And we're briefly going to a casino this weekend. I'm going to enjoy the yardwork more.

Hunting! Got me some Siberian squill, looking for blood root. After that I'll be fishing for some trout lily. It will probably take some weeks though.

Walk the dog, polyurethane the new casement window that's going to replace a broken one, make somebody do his Japanese homework,
wash a bunch of towels and stuff, watch part 2 of John Adams (the HBO series, from Netflix,) process a pile of Community Concert Association memberships, and go to A Bronx Tale at the Hippodrome tomorrow.

Relax....Katherine is back to France (as of yesterday), and so things are a bit more low key here. I do have to clean up the yard, start a bit of spring cleaning in the house (which involves taking everything out of each room to thoroughly clean it), probably grocery shopping, and of course go yodeling up Mt. Laundry. Fun stuff! :party:

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Off to a parade to honor our local guard unit as they go off into harm's way. Then cleaning out the chicken coop. Woo!

I just finished cleaning out my refrigerator. That was pretty scary. (Found some hummus that outdated in December of 2007!)

Now I'm trying to get myself motivated to go outside and do some yardwork. I have a bit of a cold, so the (finally!) warm sun feels good, but the bending over to clean up the flower/herb beds doesn't feel so good. But it needs to be done and tomorrow it's supposed to rain.

After that, I've got to get my music organized for church tomorrow. I hope to get some reading/relaxation in. Probably go for a long walk, if my cold isn't bothering me too much.

That's about it!

Our daughter Sarah and her husband John are with us from Indiana this weekend. And last night we received three additional house guests, all former Jesuit Volunteers, as are Sarah & John, who are in town for the wedding of our daughter Sarah's close friend, Sara, also a Jesuit Volunteer. So, we're having a nice visit. This morning I went to the grocery story and we made a vegetarian chili and a fruit salad. Then I cut the grass. Now I'm writing this.

Tonight we'll go to the wedding and Sarah is matron of honor and I am orating one of the readings at the Wedding Mass. I haven't seen the reading yet and so don't yet know whether love is patient and love is kind and so on. Maybe not.

Tomorrow we'll take everyone to the Irondale Cafe, which is the restaurant which inspired the book and movie Fried Green Tomatoes. We will have fried green tomatoes. I am on a special diet and shall only have one.

My wife wanted a patio in the backyard, and the workers finished it yesterday afternoon. I designed the patio and purchased all of the materials. We needed 840 x 4" x 8" red brick-size concrete pavers, 5 tons of gravel, and 2 tons of sand + timber and pvc pipe. Now I have two large piles of dirt in the backyard, and I need to find somewhere to put it. A large mound in the front yard has already been ruled out by my wife.

So for the weekend I am going to be doing yard work before the rains come on Sunday. I also have some flute work that I need to get accomplished. One thing that I am not going to do is to go shopping. It may have been a big mistake, but I didn't accompany my wife and her daughter to the patio store this afternoon. I know that she is tired of me saying that we don't need whatever she wants to buy.

Saturday - Work. The store is having it's 65th anniversary sale, a local gardening expert is doing her weekly radio show from the store, the Master Gardeners will be in, it's Saturday, and the sun is shining. I will really need some good music to listen to when I get off work.

Sunday - Housework, grocery shopping, maybe yard work if I have time, try to walk a bit in preparation for the Bloomsday "race" in two weeks. My husband is going to try to set up the TV antenna on the roof, since we dropped cable TV and the antenna has been in the attic but isn't pulling in all the stations. This means I'll have to stop whatever I'm doing to let him know how the picture comes in.

Monday - relax. Then back to the madhouse on Tuesday.
