Memorial Day Weekend

Hi All,

So another weekend has come and gone. It was nice, as 3 day weekends always are, but now it's back to reality and work tomorrow. At least it's a 4 day week, that's a good time. Anyway, here's what's going on.

Took Friday off last week, (so really had a 4 day weekend) and headed up to my cabin with my dad on Thursday night. We got up there late but still in time for a Snowshoe pizza and a couple jugs to hold us over for the night. Friday was spent working, started about 9am and worked til about 4:30pm. Installed a new door (frame and everything, didn't just hang a new door on the hinges) and raked a ton of pine needles, but didn't finish those.

Bryan and Andrew showed up at 7:30 and met us at Snowshoe, where we stayed and had dinner before heading home. Jamie and Megan arrived at about 10 or 10:30 that night. Anyway, Saturday was spent doing more work, started around 8:30 that day and finished about 1pm. Much less since we did some work the day before, plus we had more people which made it go much quicker. Megan stayed inside and washed the carpet with a steam cleaner and it looks great now. The rest of us were outside all day raking pine needles. It was tons of fun.

When we finished up we had lunch at Snowshoe, then just hung out that afternoon and napped a little bit while watching Sports Night. It was nice. Showered and got cleaned up and started cocktail hour on the deck, when Summer and Scotty showed up to join us for dinner. Sandy had also driven up that day to join us. We bbq'd steaks and had a full meal consisting of salad, corn, potatoes, bread, etc. Then just hung out for a few hours playing some games with everybody and having a really good time.

When the time came, we headed down to the country club bar where there is always a good time going on. Met up with some other people we knew up there and had some fun. Bryan started a dance train which took over the whole place, and then we just danced a bit and hung out with some Snowshoe folk. Walked home at the end of the night and crashed.

Sunday came with sleeping in, which helped the hangover tremendously. Everybody went home that day, Bryan, Andrew and I were the last to leave around 5pm. We figured we'd get home and relax, plus we'd have a day at home (Monday) before work to get settled in and everything. I think overall it was the right decision.

Well now it's Monday, Memorial Day, and I'm thanking every man and woman who has served this country. It's been a fine day, I was pretty productive but I've also been able to relax a bit which is nice.

So now it's back to work tomorrow for the week. Who knows what next weekend will bring but hopefully something worthwhile to talk about. Until then, have fun and take care.
