longing for a long weekend

Can I tell you how happy I am that today (Thursday) is my Friday? I am so happy to have four entire days off work and to schedule as I feel like. I have a good amount of things I look forward to:

• no alarm clock

• comfy clothes and flip flops

• planting geraniums, mowing the yard and power-washing the fence and patio

• putting together my new patio chairs

• relaxing on the patio with iced tea and a magazine

• organizing my work clothes closet

• visiting the new JoAnn’s super store with coupon in hand

• hanging out with my Pops

• eating fresh watermelon

• starting a few summer sewing projects

I am sure there is more and it is quite possible that my list of accomplished and enjoyed will look much different when I look back on Tuesday. But, that’s okay.

What are you looking forward to this weekend? Hope yours is wonderful!

I have been looking for those patio chairs forever! They always seem to be out of stock. Maybe I'll have to sneak by my local Lowe's to see if they have them. Thanks for the tip!

ooooo! I love your patio chairs, I am a lover of motel chairs!! I like you always make grand plans for the weekend and looking back only accomplish some of them, but it's better to make grand plans and only do some then make no plans and do nothing ;>. My plans are to go on a picnic, hike, swim, bbq, go thrifting, and spend time with my family!

Sounds like an awesome weekend, but are you really going to get all that stuff done? Color me impressed. Happy Memorial Day!

That chair sure brings back memories of my nonnie and my mom and the shore in Branford, CT.
I'm hoping for a day at the Cummington Sheep and Wool fair and a quick last sale day trip to Webs.
Other than that, the lake looks inviting, although I'm sure the water is cold. Guess I'll just sit on the dock and watch the dawg swim.
