Another long weekend, a manufactured one this time around.

The kids randomly have another PA Day on this coming Monday, so it’s another short week at school for them. And I am left to think of something to do. There is paid programming available at $70.00 a pop, but is it worth $140.00 plus tax to keep the kids occupied during regular work hours? Or should I use a quarter of that on a great lunch for us, and keep them occupied myself using dog walks, the pumpkin patch, the pumpkin stand, the park, and their devices?. Probably the better bet. I had notice of a new large project coming my way that I was not previously aware of. Cool beans! Mo money, mo money, mo money!

I wish they still did week day matinees, or had adventure parks nearby. One of my vehicle bearings, rotors, or some such sounds “grindy”, so I don’t really want to go anywhere out of town incase it gives out and we have to walk home, get towed across town to the mechanic’s shop. The presence of the dog adds a complication.

I wanted to dig up our Dahlias today before we head over to the show this afternoon, but with extended family coming, and a previously unplanned visit to the LTC added into the mix, I might have to wait until Sunday afternoon, or Monday to get it done.

What’s funny is the kids will have yet another PA Day in the middle of November too. Really front end loading the school year with days off. Seems like they would be better having those days in may & June when it gets really stinking hot, and the final report cards need to be written up. But that’s just my opinion.

Have a great Saturday full of sunshine, and just a touch of autumn warmth. May the brilliantly coloured leaves be crispy, and the spiced drinks be the perfect temperature. Ciao Bella!
