Re: You guys doing anything special this weekend?

Great thread! My husband and I will do a "Giro d'Vino" bike ride in Northern CA. 75 Km (just under 50 miles), with 14 rest stops all at wineries. Wine tasting included I won't be drinking any wine during the ride as I'll be the designated driver on the way back. Can't wait for it although we'll miss 2 soccer games for our kids.

But as you said we can't put off fun things anymore so we just have to make choices of which fun things to do!

Wink Re: You guys doing anything special this weekend?

I am leaving for a cruise tomorrow. St. Thomas, St. Martin and and one other port. Our yearly get away, just to relax and try and forget about cancer. Supposed to be going up to Illinois for Thanksgiving, but the doc may put a damper on it and not let me fly with all the fluid in me. Had belly drained, but have some in my lung. So all I can do is hope he will let me go. Blessings to all, Jeanette
