I had no plans and was looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend, but this week we made a plan here and there and now I feel like it's going to be a really busy weekend!

Tomorrow my toddler and I are going to lunch with some friends and then getting the last of her baby stuff ready to be dropped off at the donation point. There's this great organization here that works directly with families who cannot afford baby things so we prefer to donate to them instead of GoodWill. Once that's done,.... there's no more denying that my teeny tiny baby is a little girl now :cry::cry:

Saturday we're going to a festival and eating Amish fry pies until we feel sick. If you've never had an Amish fry pie, you NEED to try them!

Sunday we're going to this annual gigantic flea market type deal that we go to every year.

Monday, I don't know. Maybe the zoo? We need to weed our garden beds again, so maybe Monday will be a work around the house day.

That sounds like a nice week-end.

Me too. Our cruise may have to be cancelled in October we were going to the Bahama's St. Martin, and Puerto Rico. Maybe another vacation is not in the works for us this year. It was happening next month. Oh well, there is always next year. I hope everyone stays safe in this hurricane. Poor Texas, they can't get a break, either.

Labor Day is Monday, and this year, it just happens to be my birthday. I leave for Disneyland in three days.

I remember all the years growing up when my birthday was always a sign that Summer was over, and school was about to begin. We always went the Wednesday after Labor Day.

Sounds like you have a lot of fun stuff planned for your family.

Daughter is in DisneyLand, for her job. I hope she gets in some fun time too. Boys are staying with dad. We picked Jake at his soccer game , yesterday and went to dad's for dinner. We had a really good time. He is making changes, and seems much more happy as a single dad.

Me too.:cry: I'm now thinking about getting a kitten but my dh isn't a cat person.:rolleyes: Today may have sealed the I want a cat deal. On my way home I passed my neighbor's outside cat defending his food bowl. A bear came around the corner sniffing and out of nowhere came kitty with his back up, fur out and hissing away. The bear ran into the woods in fear:joyfull: If I get a cat it will bean inside only one seeing we have lots of critters in my neighborhood.

That' a good kitty. You definitely need it for protection. Bears can open doors and with all your cooking, the smells with entice one.;)

She won't be there for the drop off this time, but we do collections of donations for her birthdays in lieu of presents and she gets to drop those off every year. For her birthday this year she collected food and toys and dropped then off at the humane society

She is so cute. What a great idea, training kids to help out. My daughter has done that after holidays, and Christmas. We do a clean out in January. I like to get rid of things, I've out grown, or don't use anymore, and lots of canned goods, and some furniture. I like to start new, for the New Year. Things don't get bad (as in canned goods). And we are down sizing the stuff each year, getting ready for the move to our last place. I hope a very small condo. Something , one of us can manage, when by ourselves.

If it hits there, does everyone stay in their resorts or do you have to move to a shelter? How does it work?

For Mathew yes. Over several decades I have done 2 hurricanes without missing a beat. Just rain. Time will tell by Sunday night. We reschedule Halloween party for later next week. Our hotel in event of stay in doors opens artists point signature restaurant to resort guests for a single credit. Unlike DVC we are inside main building.

MCO has lifted their Saturday closure

Did a little skimmin' of this thread before I'm goin' back to play "ketchup".
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but, doesn't all the discussion recently of a particular subject back there belong in the new-ish "Politics and Social Issues" forum...?! o_O

Wow, didn't know that existed. I've been away so long.

Good for you! We grew up dirt poor, too...well, I was 6 when my parents divorced, so I was past the diaper stage, but yep...even thrift store was too expensive sometimes. I got a lot of hand-me-downs from older girls in the community, and my mom was amazing with a shoe-string budget. Coupons, sales, buying in bulk. It really makes you appreciate what you have. We donate all our kids' old clothes to either an orphanage in Romania, or a facility for the severely handicapped in Sri Lanka. (my friend is from Sri Lanka and her friend works there) When we moved here, I wouldn't let my husband throw anything out because there were people who could use it...we had dishes and blankets and things that he was like "We'll never use this...let's throw it away." But having been one of those people growing up, I know how much we relied on those things that other people didn't want anymore...if I can help someone else out, I'd rather do that than throw it away.
