    Hitting The Highways On Memorial Day?

    Okay---Will you be getting out there, and competing with the 18-wheelers and the Drunks?

    Yep, drove to West Virginia today. Treating our train buff grandson to a 4 hour scenic train ride tomorrow. We stopped and ate along the way.

    I remember dodging the 18-wheelers and the drunks. I'll be kicking back with a book and some iced tea.

    We will be going ten minutes down the highway for a bbq at a friend’s who has a deck on the water. Not many 18 wheelers on our highway but I suppose we may encounter a few drunks on the way home that evening.

    My NJ son is coming up with 2 grandkids and will be christening our new camper. We were able to pick it up just in time! We will also be celebrating our VT grandson's 5th birthday at a big party at his house, so I'm spending tomorrow helping DS and DDIL get ready. (Apparently, the day care rule is, if you invite one kid in the class, you have to invite them all. So they are expecting 60 people!!)

    I'm staying up in my mountain fastness, and friends and relatives are coming up here for some fun and cooking.

    Amazing how day cares can dictate what happens in a personal home. What about sleepovers? I understand the issue of only a few being invited but must be a high end area to have a house that can hold 60 or even a backyard. Hope it does not rain.

    We have the Indy500 parade on Saturday and the race on Sunday. 300,000 people attending the race and sometimes it feels like they all are downtown for the parade. We live about 4 blocks from the start of the parade. Traffic is so bad that we try not to go anywhere.

    The tourists are coming back and the crazy expensive lobster roll place reopened--it was $40 two years ago when we stopped by, for one lobster roll. It's not even that picturesque or anything. Glad everyone is planning fun things.

    We're not planning to go anywhere. We learned a long time ago that holiday weekends are a good time to stay home.
