I kicked off the weekend with dinner with Rudi and some friends who now split their year between D.C. and New Orleans (and who are only recently back north). They grilled and made a delicious salad, and I made my grandmother’s lemon squares. (They said they were very good, but I can never make them taste like hers, so…) We watched a movie (well, Julia and Rudi watched the movie and Michael and I dozed) and came home later than we’ve been out in ages. It was great.

Here’s what else I’m hoping to fit into this weekend:

• Bake gingersnaps (if tomorrow afternoon turns stormy, this is likely how I’ll spend the time)
• String up the pea trellis in the garden and get the potatoes, garlic, and onions in
• Visit the library
• Write some cards
• Make daiquiris (we need some space in our freezer, which is being overrun with frozen fruit)
• Play more volleyball
• Vacuum
• Wash all the wool tops and heavy pants
• Switch out the winter and summer clothes
• Start a bag for Goodwill
• Get the two bins in our living room over to Rudi’s storage unit

What’s on your to-do list this weekend?

Here’s some of what I’m hoping I get done this weekend:

• Relax with friends
• File my taxes
• Watch baseball
• Wash sheets and towels
• Try some new-to-me restaurants
• Play volleyball
• Plant potatoes and some other things in the garden
• Pick up holds at the library
• Find morels at the farmers market
• Vacuum and/or mop all the floors

How about you? What are you hoping this weekend includes?

I could be fooling myself by thinking I can get all this done this weekend, but I’ll find it a little fishy if I don’t cross any of them off!

• Do more laundry
• Open the window
• Spend time with friends
• Get out to the garden
• Clear off the coffee table
• Change the sheets
• Finish a sock
• Play volleyball

• Watch basketball
• Buy dish soap
