It’s PRIDE WEEK and you know what that means…PARTY, PARTY, and more PARTYING.
That is kind of how last weekend played out for me and Ed. It never stopped.
The weekend started Friday evening with my niece’s graduation. Long ceremony, but worth it to see her.
Saturday, we attended her graduation party. It started around 1pm and went into the evening. It was wonderful seeing some of my relatives that I haven’t seen in a while. The weather was great too.
Every year, we have a family reunion. This year, like the past several, I helped organize the event for about 100 people. We have the reunion at Northmoreland Park in Westmoreland County. It is centrally located and has a very large, stocked fish pond. To add excitement to the picnic, we schedule the event during PA’s free fishing days. Now, I am not much of a fisherman, but this is one of the highlights. It brings a lot of joy to see everyone having such a great time and how excited the children get during our fishing tournament. It has grown each year, and most of everyone returns. Very succesful and fun time.
A lot of time this week will be used for preparation for Pride Sunday. Ed and I will be at Splash on Thursday, Pride in The Street on Saturday and at our booth on Sunday. We cannot make Friday’s Pub Crawl because we are having a party for one of our boys. And, in my world, family comes first. How straight sounding is that? That event sounds like a lot of fun. Our oldest and his girlfriend do the local bar crawl thing from the campus to South Side clubs. No drinking and driving. Free drinks too! I am assuming the Pride Pub Crawl will be similar with the exception that it will be LGBT. Are you planning to attend any of these events? If so, say hi!
Tuesday, I will be off. Off work that is… It is my kid’s (and mine) school/town picnic at Kennywood. No better excuse to take the day off! Remember Kennywood memories? Please, no rain…
