We have a wedding on Sunday. I just "love" people that plan a wedding on a holiday weekend. It's taking place in the hotel of a downtown Chicago hotel. GREAT! A holiday weekend AND holiday traffic because the lakefront does a fireworks display.

Do I sound like I'm complaining? You bet I am but, we will go, put on a happy face....its one day out of our lives.

I usually go to Atlantic City for a few days of gambling, swimming, boardwalk people ~~laughing~~ watching & eating.

This year, I plan on going over to Philly for their festivities on Penns Landing & the surrounding areas (South St.).

Plan B

Staying home & gouging on Bobby Chez seafood (I live 1 1/2 miles from his shop).

We live at the Jersey shore so will be hosting a house filled with guests most of the holiday weekend. Summer weather should arrive tomorrow!

I am lucky enough to have a photo of my direct ancestor, in uniform, who died as a result of war wounds during the Civil War, fighting for the Union. I always place it on our mantel with a few candles around it.

Since Memorial Day has also come to signal the beginning of summer, I usually plan to have a menu like burgers, coleslaw, potato salad and a red, white and blue mix of fruit salad.

Hopefully we will also have a trip to a beach not far from here that we love.

Getting tires and an alignment done on my car on Saturday, then off to walk dogs at the shelter. Sunday we'll just hang out. Walk dogs at the shelter on Monday (people don't like to give up their holidays, so we always need help).

Jersey shore girl too! Plan on hitting boards, getting to beach it will be in high 80s here this weekend. We had so much rain this spring and pollen here right now is so bad! Fireworks on beach at night. Now the traffic we get in from Philly is another problem!

@lulu2I did - they lived in the town I have a beach house in. I would see them all over the boardwalk. Caused quite a commotion - but it was fun to actually see them filming with the bright lights. They walked right passed us one night in the Beachcomber bar on the boardwalk while filming. Unfortunately that scene didn't make the cut LOL!!!

@RainyDayGal Just wanted to THANK YOU for doing such a wonderful thing for those precious shelter dogs. I bet they get so happy when they see you coming!

My daughter and her family hosts a large family and friends cook-out with at least 90 guests....I used to go, but not anymore....too many people...my social skills aren't what they used to be.....don't enjoy idle chit-chat...wears me out! My husband still goes...he's a talker! I like my peace and quiet!

I must admit I would seriously consider staying home if only nine others were invited much less 90.

I am going to my son's and he is cooking for me, my dear sweet granddaughter, and DDIL. She and I both have Monday off and since as a nurse she works the week-ends we take full advantage of any Monday holidays!! My son and granddaughter and I have to have week-end visits without her most of the time so Memorial Day is extra special. Just going to be the four of us pigging out and playing toys with my sweet girl.

We will be playing cowboys this weekend and trying to introduce our grandchildren to the concept of Texas life, such as petting horses!

We will undoubtedly be fighting traffic... the Byron Nelson golf tournament will be in "full swing!"

BBQ

All hail the start of summer!

Love the Texas Life. I will have to remember that phrase, especially when I am dying here in Tyler Tx. in Aug. (heat)

Have absolutely no plans. Maybe I'll drag my husband to a movie.
