Doing Anything for Labor Day Weekend?

[K & L]

We may take a drive for the day to Jerome, AZ. It's an old ghost town that has been refurbished with shops and restaraunts. Very interesting place!

I've been to Jerome some years ago- I think it's a very impressive place. There are so many fantastic places in your region- have fun :D

[Taz_Zoee]

Ohh, a ghost town. That sounds like fun!!!

We are doing NOTHING this weekend. I'm volunteering at the shelter for a few hours then we are going to a block party BBQ this afternoon. Other than that I'll be cleaning house. Yippie!! :rolleyes:

Oh, maybe I'll see if we can take the dogs to the coast.

Trying on the clothes I am taking on the cruise and then getting them ready to pack...been putting that off for 3 days!


Tomorrow - hoping to make it to a benefit for our friend Joe who now has been given about 2 weeks to live. :( He just found out a month ago he was stage 4. BUT - he will not get the latest news til Tuesday, so we are hoping he will arrive tomorrow and have a really fun time!

Monday - parking my butt on the Big Bike in our Labour Day parade - it raises money for the Heart and Stroke people. I've raised over $200, which for me is pretty good!

I lived in Sedona for a couple of years and occasionally would venture into Jerome. Lots of art galleries and shops. Be sure to eat at the restaurant that used to be a brothel. (Sorry, I can't recall the name of it.) And go aaaaall the way back into Jerome where you can still see how it was before it became the tourist attraction that it is now. But then, maybe you've been there before and I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know. Jerome is one of my son's favorite places.

I'll be preparing for my family's visit this weekend. My son is flying in from L.A. on Tuesday and my sister, niece, great nephew and his wife are driving from PA on Thursday. So I have lots of cleaning, cooking and preparation to tend to. I'm still in shock that all but my son are coming. This will be only the second time that my sister has visited me since I left home at age 18. I drive to see her but she doesn't drive here but my niece will be driving so she said she'd like to see my son, whom she hasn't seen in 15 years. So we're having a mini family reunion. I still have to pinch myself and pray that she doesn't cancel at the last minute.

Yup, slick's flush with excitement. Hope the shopping trip isn't too draining... :p:D

My mom, dad and I took a drive up to Wisconsin today for a tour of Ten Chimneys, the residence of actors Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. It was a lovely day for a car trip - bright sunshine, not too hot - their home is in Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine area and the whole day was wonderful. Theatre fans, you really ought not to miss this.

And tomorrow I hope to make it to the Bow Wow Barbecue for Reach Out Rescue, NFP and meet Tracy. I've purchased the ticket already and I have something else going, but I hope it'll end early.

I was going to get 50 lbs of cucumbers and make dill pickles, however the hail storm in early August wiped out the cucumber crop so I'm out of luck. Guess I'll just sit around and relax with the fur kids.

Painting rooms and moving furniture--hopefully in a few days, Malcom will finally have his own bedroom.

[Karen]

I'll be thinking of the folks at the Findlay gathering, and be attending my niece's birthday party. 14 years ago my sister went into labor the day after Labor Day, and this year Emily's birthday falls on Labor Day itself!

[Christmas_Hamster]

I might be going to the drive-in. They have a four movie special, probably going to see:
The Final Destination
The Hangover
The Ugly Truth
Year One

:D

[Alysser]

Working, working, working :D Today is the last glow-in-the-park parade though, kinda sad about that :(

[pomtzu]

Staying home relaxing - away from the beach mobs, and the mall mobs with all the last minute school shopping going on. Glad those days are over for me.

Probably do a beer butt chicken on the grill today or tomorrow - haven't had one all year and they are so de-lish...........:D

We ended up in Jerome yesterday and what a wonderful time. We had rain and thunderstorms, the perfect setting for a ghost town! We ate at the Haunted Hamburger...DELICIOUS..and did some shopping. I bought a book called Ghost Stories that's all about different peoples experience with ghosts. Also one on "easy virtue women" which was a big thing back in the copper mining days. All in all a wonderful time!
