I saw on the news that 1/3 of people are staying home this weekend

sat i helped out in the kitchen at a friends wedding reception , today i helped another friend mow their lawn [got a lot of nice sun out of it], tomorrow is just for me so i can catch up on my work and laundry and just chilling. have a great one!

I'm staying home with friends and family and having a bbq in the yard, along with a fire in the pit later in the evening.

We MIGHT go to the theme parks close to us. It's a 1/2 tank gas round trip.. but at almost 4 bucks a gallon... WOW.. I am not sure. Something has got to give and SOON

I haven't been anywhere and I'm not going anywhere. What a miserable gal I am!

Pretty much the same as you, just stay home and relax. Well, for part of it anyways, I have to work Memorial Day night.

I will be staying home except to go 15 miles to the county seat and attend a memorial service. My husband was in Viet Nam, my Daddy in World War II, my youngest was also in the service. I honor, admire and respect our service men and women.

Count me among the staying home crowd. Like you said, gas is just too expensive to even contemplate flying or driving anywhere. I'll get my kids fot at least a day, hang out by the pool and maybe have a nice dinner on Sunday. More than anything though, I'll just take the time to enjoy a couple of days with no work.

I haven't gone anywhere for Memorial Day since I was born. We stopped doing stuff for Memorial Day when I was in elementary school. We don't grill or fix anything special. It's too expensive to do anything anymore. I'd rather save money and do something more fascinating when the time comes.

My husband just went to town to pick up mail, and he stopped by the cemetery while there to 'talk' with Mom & Dad (a veteran). We're sticking close to home, but tomorrow may go into town for a local festival of sorts, The Feast of the Flowering Moon. I guess there's all manner of things going on there, loads of Native American cultural activities and such. Should be a fun day, and thankfully, only about a 10 mile drive from the house.

Out of that 1/3 is going to me... I am going to cook a delicious dinner and eat at home.. I may just order us a pizza today..

I'm in the group staying at home this weekend. We'll be having a BBQ with my daughter and her husband at our place and enjoying tossing horseshoes during the day and a card game or two in the evening.

I have to work on Memorial Day. I'm off today and tomorrow but not doing anything special. Will just be hanging around the house ditzing around with the computer, reading and resting with my legs up as much as possible. The ole arthritis is making itself known more lately.
