Whatcha Doin This Weekend? October 3-5

Saturday, I am helping run an AKC fast cat event. (Think of dogs sprinting after a plastic bag on a rope). Dinner with the neighbors on our back deck. Sunday, the town next to us is having a big autumn festival and the parade is on Sunday and it is an amazing parade for a small town. All sorts of bands from Chicago and the Jesse White tumblers! Pretty big stuff for out in the sticks.

Retired so weekends cease to have meaning! Went to an apple orchard today to avoid the weekend crowds. Also bought yummy apple cider donuts and ate at a BBQ restaurant with outdoor seating. Weather was perfect. Tomorrow will be chores all day and Sunday meeting son and his gf (who work so weekends have meaning for them) halfway between (1 hr 15 min for each) for our October birthday lunch (him and me).

I’m semi retired but I think ill always still appreciate and recognize weekends- that’s when other people in my life will be free and more events are scheduled and to be honest I like some structure during the week so I hope I ALWAYS appreciate weekends!

Getting out some fall clothes and putting away bathing suits and shorts.

Visit the farmers market and possibly a vintage market on Sunday. We spent the last two weekends helping D pack up her apartment and move so I’m going to enjoy having a bit of time to relax and enjoy the nice weather.

And oh yes, watch some baseball!! :baseball:

I’m skipping town - full of tourists this weekend the annual PowerBoat show with hordes of boaters from around the world as well as with the Navy/AirForce game. Double whammy here! Dh has his 35th college reunion (Navy) this weekend so he’s headed to the game but I’m flying to Chicago tomorrow to visit D20. She has fall break and her roommate is going home for the break so I decided to go visit. I haven’t seen her new off campus apartment since dh went with her to move her in August. Of course, it’s beautiful, perfect fall weather here but going to be in the 80s in Chicago. Hotter than I prefer for this time of year, but looking forward to the visit, although it will be a quick trip.

GO NAVY! :american_football:

Yes, until December 13, that is. Then, GO ARMY! :military_helmet: :wink:

DS/DIL may be at that game, though. He’s currently serving at Ft. Meade and actually has Navy friends. :ship:

Hm… I think our return trip may actually be on Lufthansa. Should I be worried? We may be ticketed through United but flying Lufthansa, if that makes sense? I guess we will find out.

Behind the scenes tour of the local rail company, concert of a folk rock group we liked back in the day at a local winery, laundry. Given the nice weather, we’ll probably have our last ritual ā€œdrinks on the patioā€ of the season this weekend.

Going to a friend’s house. A bunch of our group will be there and spend the night. :slight_smile: It is a perfect, glorious day in Maine. I went to the grocery store earlier, and it cracked me up. About half the people were dressed for October and the other half were dressed for the weather (predicted high of 81 today).

I’m in Germany this weekend. Munich yesterday, and a university town til Monday. We walked through the old town and wandered the stalls at the market. Many photos taken. Dinner tonight at the hotel restaurant. We passed a cafe with what looks to be delicious cake, so we’ll head back tomorrow for afternoon cake and coffee.

I love Austria and Germany and their afternoon cake tradition!

I look at it as having seven weekend days/week, 2 of them happen to be on Saturday and Sunday!
