My eye doctor says I should look away from my computer more often. You know, 20 seconds, 20 feet away, every 20 minutes.
Time for a new doctor? Because she never once suggested quitting my 9 to 5 and moving to an island.
Anyway, the weekend is looking pretty good as we race toward the end of summer. Which ends in August, obviously. The calendar can’t tell me nothing.
Your dog has weekend plans
This Saturday, the Langhorne Rotary Pet Fair is taking over with food, kids’ activities, a petting zoo(!) and an elite guest list of four legged party animals. Starts at 10am at the Mayor’s Playground.
I’ll very likely end up spending three hours here, petting every dog I see. These dogs can’t pet themselves, so someone’s gotta do it.
You get a Friday night market
Holicong Park’s Night Market is happening Friday with farm stands, local makers and family activities. My plan: show up hungry, wander around, find dinner and stay to find my new favorite band.
Basically, a night out without having to panic text six friends about where everyone wants to eat. Then no one makes a decision and we all stay on our couches (can’t just be me). Anyway, this solves that.
Paddle into the weekend
Forget dinner and a movie. How about kayaking under a full moon?
The Full Moon Kayak Tour at Nockamixon State Park is happening Friday night, with a paddle across the lake as the moon comes up. There’ll be some local history, a little nocturnal wildlife and, apparently, snacks. I’m listening.
Oh and no kayaking experience necessary. Which is excellent news for those of us whose outdoor sport résumé begins and ends with “owns a water bottle”.
From kayaking under the stars to saying “can I pet that dog?” 98 times in three hours. What a weekend. We’re so lucky to call this place home.
Enjoy your weekend, and I’ll see you Sunday for some strange history.
May your favorite food truck make an appearance,
Cait, From Bucks
