I am so excited. Hubby and I are taking a four day weekend. Since Monday is a holiday, we've decided to take tomorrow off as well. Most of my clients will take advantage of the four day weekend, so I'm going to join the masses. It's a great way to kick off your summer.
I'm going to knock off early this afternoon and clean house and hubby is going to catch the laundry up today. That will give us four days of doing whatever we want.
I think tomorrow we will go get our flowers and work on our flower pots. We never put any out until Memorial day every year. Since our departed loved ones are all buried in West Virginia, we don't get to decorate on Memorial day so we plant our potted plants in honor of our loved ones every year at this time.
I'm not sure yet what the plans will be for Saturday. Sunday will be church and we are going to have a Memorial Service for our fallen military, POW's, and MIA's. We have some beautiful music planned along with some video scenes that are very poignant. We'll probably go out for lunch that afternoon and a nice long Sunday drive.
But Monday is the day I'm excited about. We are going antique shopping. We have some of the neatest antique stores around here and I'm on a mission. It's probably a futile mission, but a mission all the same. I have some old bowls and pitchers that are in my cabinets and I want to incorporate them into my kitchen. Since my kitchen is sort of a cross between French Country and Country, I have some ideas to bring it all together. I saw this beautiful pitcher at http://emmallamb.blogspot.com/2011/05/thrifty-finds.html
This is all the new decor rave "Granny Chic". So I'm heading out Monday to see if I can find something similar to fit into my decor. Now, here's the problem. Emma is from Scotland and found her treasure in Edinburgh. I'm thinking my chances are slim of finding one here, but who knows what treasures I may find.
We'll finish up the day with a delicious meal from the grill. We are planning to have a great weekend and I hope you each will as well. I'm not going to check emails, do any "work" work or write any blogs all weekend. I've been burning the midnight oil and the early dawn oil for so long, I need a break. So I'm sleeping in (which will mean until 6:30 or 7:00 for me) and enjoying my four day mini-vacation.
I hope you all have a wonderful Memorial day. I'll see you back on Tuesday.
