Good for you volunteering! In the past I volunteered at an amusement park that would allow local kids from financially challenged families to ride free all day. I would function as a buddy/big brother...someone to hang out with play games w/ go on the rides w etc...

I work until ~7am Saturday morning and then I'll be going to the h.s. graduation party for a coworker's daughter in the afternoon. After that, I might hang out with my cousin and a buddy to grab something to eat. And then I'll be heading home to pack and plan my route because I'll be leaving Sunday to help out for a week at another lab in western Kansas

Putting in my porch garden

Working, as usual on the weekends, but I'm not complaining. I prefer to be off during the week and not be with crowds of other people, especially during holidays...too crazy!

Road trip in the car!!

I've been wanting to find places to volunteer. It would be helpful if I could somehow bring my 6 year old daughter with me and she could help too.

Saturday, May 12th: 10am begin canvassing for a progressive candidate. 6pm sushi dinner with friends. Sunday is mother's day, so I'll probably hang at home and get some work done (no mother anymore). It's next week that super-busy.

Two of my kids are taking me to the Quilt Museum [quiltstudy.org] tomorrow. And were going out to lunch at [theoven-lincoln.com] The third (oldest) has an out as she isn't taking the baby on long trips yet. Baby wasn't supposed to be here yet, but oh well. I love the quilt museum, I come away with many ideas and frustration of lack of time. Someday....

If parts come in tomorrow I will replace the ignition switch in my Honda. I had just finished replacing the water pump (not fun) and after driving just over a mile to eat the car decided not to run without help so the return trip I had to hold the key between start and run (also not fun) with a manual transmission as you have to drive without a hand on the wheel when shifting.

hmmm, domestic jobs, boring, then yard work, almost as boring, soem gardening and hopefully a swim at some point.

Going to a local Garden and Plant Fair tomorrow!

Dont dress up like a clown !!!!

My weekend is exciting. I have all I need here behind closed doors and will do some work on one of my 3 computers, check out social media, watch any movie or TV show that I want to, and get caught up on everything.
My phone might ring and I will talk, but if Charlie comes over and knocks at my door I won't let him in and will say he needs to come back Monday. (I will let women in but don't want crying stories or to loan money.)
Normally up at 6 AM I can now sleep as long as I want to for 2 days. That usually doesn't work however, and I'll get up and make coffee anyway.
Somewhere in the middle of all this I might drink a bottle of Yago Sangria wine. That's for the TV and Netflix time.

Children's carnival ? You going to be the clown ??

I have an exciting weekend ahead.

I'm decorating the hallway. Painting the ceiling, papering the walls and getting ready for new skirting boards and floor.

I can't wait......

Saturday OT and then lifting. Sunday EA meeting, errands and maybe food prep.

No plans for me. I might head downtown today to pick up my juicer, if it's fixed by now.

But here in Songkhla, Thailand, it's Saturday morning, and there's a huge outdoor market a couple of km from here.
