The other day I wrote a post detailing all of the things we were supposed to do on this long weekend here in Canada. It’s what we call the May two four or more formally the Victoria Day long weekend. Our long weekend came early this year. In my mind it really should be next weekend. In fact it caught me by surprise being so early.
As things go our our Saturday night plans fell through. We were supposed to go over to a friends house for a barbecue, party and perhaps even some early fireworks. Unfortunately our friends mother happened to call him on Friday and reminded him about the birthday invitations that they had on Saturday night. I guess it’s his great aunts birthday and the whole family is getting together for a big shindig.
That’s ok. Chris and I were busy enough today! We’re going to have a busy weekend so we got some gardening work done earlier today. I’m sure we won’t have time to do any gardening on Sunday or Monday! Tomorrow we’re going to a brunch at a another friends and then there’s fireworks on Sunday and Monday night.
I believe next weekend is the Memorial Day long weekend in the US. Do you have big plans for that weekend? And how about my Canadian friends – are you as busy as I am seeing family and friends this weekend?
Yep. Extra long weekend for us. Finally get our annual March-April weekend away…long overdue. We will of course, take a moment to celebrate her dead majesty’s birthday. 🙂
A great new look
I better not mention that fireworks for Mr Lifecruiser or he’ll take that charter jet over to you 😉
He is totally crazy in fireworks, we even had one at our wedding!
Here in the U.S. next weekend is Memorial day weekend , but here in Indianapolis its 500 weekend . Its a big deal here in Indianapolis. the whole month a lot going on down at the track. Bands come in and play after a day of racing . Its all a build up for the race it self.
Long weekend sounds long, but actually, I feel that it has not sinked in yet. It’s already Monday, and tomorrow is work day. I guess that’s what happens when you are enjoying your vacation. Time seems to fly by quickly without knowing it.
If you would like to know, I had a great weekend =). Day out with my family and relatives to the funfair nearby. Hope you guys had a great weekend too. Take care guys! (and girls 😉 )
Wow long weekend. I always look forward to a long weekend with Fridays or Mondays being a holiday. Then i get to drive out of town to visit my parents and close friends.
Long weekends? We’ve got lots of them here in the Philippines. Holidays in the midweek are usually moved on Mondays or Fridays to extend the weekends. I usually spend long weekends having fun with family and friends. 🙂
