Does anyone have any fun plans for Memorial Day weekend? I don’t have anything major planned, but I’m really looking forward to having an extra day off and some time to relax.

Did anyone watch the Royal Wedding last weekend? One of my friends planned a really fun watch party, complete with a replica lemon elderflower cake!
