Got the Beast's car all packed up for him. I found out one of the reasons he is leaving so early is because he has no idea how long it will take him to get to the stadium once he gets to Atlanta and he has a meeting there for the security people at 11 am. I have to remember to remind him that there is an hour's difference in the timeline from here to there. It takes about 2-1/2 hours to drive to Atlanta if you don't stop. He filled up the Prius with gas so he won't have to stop for that at least. All I have to do is make sure he eats something before he leaves or he will be stopping at McD's for breakfast. He loves their pancake and sausage breakfast...and it's fairly cheap. But he won't have the time depending on just when he leaves.
I am feeling a bit depressed. The family get-together won't really be happening like I had hoped. My son Marcus and his family are not coming and Tara's kids are going somewhere with someone (I don't know all the details) so she won't be coming for the barbeque at the Princess' house. Mustachio is still debating on whether or not he is coming down but he might because I am having my surgery (and it IS major) just a few days after his. I suspect he will come just because it will be kind of nice to visit without the Beast being around.
I am still planning on making my potato salad and some fruit salad for the barbeque. If nothing else, it will be a nice addition to whatever the Princess is planning. I know Johnnycakes is planning on smoking some meat. He's really good at that, too. I'll call the Princess and find out if she wants me to pick up some hot dogs or anything else since we won't be adding so many to her plans.
Later on we will go down to the lake to watch the fireworks but we will go early. That way we won't have to fight for space for our chairs. Chewlee wants me to bring her beach chair for her to sit in. It will be the first time it's seeing the beach....LOL.
The Beast's big worry is Baron. He's afraid I will neglect him. Like he would let me...LOL. The dog knows how to command attention when he needs/wants something. Oh well. Life goes on. I haven't seen the fireworks here at all yet. The Beast is not big on it and for the last couple years, I was recuperating from all the damn surgeries I've been through.
We are looking at some really hot weather the next week or so and I am loving it. No rain predicted. *Grin* I hope you have a fantastic holiday weekend. I'll let you know how mine goes. ***Hugs***
