HAPPY LABOR DAY..A DAY LATE!

I hope that you had a great Labor Day weekend, safe and filled with fun and enjoyment, rest and relaxation. For most laces the weather wasn’t tooo bad. Here we had nice temperatures, in the low 80’s and high 70’s. Today we had a couple of showers watering all plants. Now the sun is out for a bit It is 78 degrees with a light breeze.

Labor Day: I imagine that when I was in school they taught us about Labor Day. But since then I have had a birthday or two so did some research and here is what I found:: LABOR DAY was Inaugurated by Knights of Labor, 1882, to honor nation’s workers. It was made a national holiday in 1894. Oregon was the first state to make Labor Day a legal holiday (1887) and Congress made it a national holiday in 1894, setting aside the first Monday in September for its observance throughout the country. Now we know.

WE had a great three day weekend. Saturday, Tammy, Dottie, Jerry and Tina helped me celebrate my birthday. Tammy, Dottie, Tina and I did a painting class that was on U-Tube. We painted Christmas Trees. Mine looks more like a giant bush while the other three trees look like very perfect Christmas Trees. Dottie gave up trying to follow the ‘teacher” and did it her way. She had the best tree,,so original and so interesting and defiantly Christmas. It was fun.

Jerry brought the ribs, Dotty brought the green beans and potatoes, and cornbread muffins. We had macaroni salad. Tina ordered my birthday cake from Publix’s and it was in the shape of a Highland Heifer’s head. So cute and so good. Jerry also brought a pumpkin cake roll that is delicious. What a great day! Thanks to all who wished me Happy Birthday on Facebook and e-mails, and texts. I appreciate each and every one.

Sunday Tina ended up working all day Sunday. I took the day to just do whatever I felt like, which wasn’t much. I read, did my games and watched TV. Tina got home and we went to Walmart and Pet Smart, having dinner at Apple bee’s. We hadn’t been there for ages so did enjoy it, WE thought that a great idea as the kitchen was cleaned and all the dishes were washed. So nice.

Yesterday I used Labor Day to do labor and did the laundry, a bit of housework, etc. I made Tuna salad and boiled some eggs, have veggies and all that will help Tina with lunches for the week. Tonight we are having fish sticks for dinner. Tomorrow I am planning on having chicken but will wait and see.

Now that Summer season is over and we can start looking forward to fall and all the pretty trees with their colors, the smell of pumpkin spices and all the great smells, I guess it is time to start looking into the fall and winter closes for the coming season. I think that means washing the sweaters.

I will be hunting hints for Wah’s House Hold Hints, but for now, it is “Hint-less.

Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Make it a sunshiny, cheerful, productive and fun day.

Blessings
