Labor Day thoughts.
I know why we celebrate most holidays but for the life if me, I don’t know what Labor Day is all about.
Is it a motherly thing where we celebrate giving birth? If so then it would only be a female holiday. And we all know that men do a lot of Labor Day celebrating so that isn’t it.
Are we celebrating working hard? If that is the case, I know a lot of people who should never be allowed to celebrate this one. (Some where I work)
I do believe it has something to do with working but it still doesn’t make any sense to me; I thought getting a day off for working hard was called “vacation.” And all those people who work at department stores don’t get much of a holiday because they have to work the Labor Day Sales. Not to mention all the men who slave over a hot grill all day to make the perfect hamburger.
So no matter why you are celebrating, who has plans for Labor Day? I have a full weekend schedule. Here are a few of the things on my list:
Go to the market, Go to Church, Go golfing, Go fishing, Go to dinner at a friend’s house, Grill something, Work in the yard, Work in the greenhouse, Work on the boat, Get ready for Tuesday.
Whew, no wonder they call this Labor Day.
Have a great Labor Day weekend,
Greg

I just think it was another political holiday because the government employees needed another day off with pay. They don't care if we get the day off or not, they just wanted to make sure they weren't working as much.
You know what is next? Stimulus day! It's where we get to celebrate the fact that the stimulus package was launched and it did nothing. WOO HOO! Let's party on that one!
Hey at least the government will have one more day off with pay right?

Not sure what we are going to do, but I will think of something. Maybe a day at the beach, or go up to the mountains.
Labor Day, hmmm question? Does that mean that the illegal laborers that have taken jobs away from the American Workers get to take the day off paid as well?
Don't even get me started on that one!

I think I am finally back to commenting more often. The fires on contained, I'm getting use to the daily routine of radiation, and my computer is working a little faster....
So.... I'll be back again soon. I hope...

have a great weekend!
Labor Day
Well I hope you enjoy your time off! I don't have plans.

ROFL!!
Happy Labor Day!! We are grilling out.
I'm not sure what our plans are, but sometimes I like it that way! No pressure to be anywhere.
There ya have it! -smile- I really like Kat's answer; think she's onto something.
First time visitor from Pam Warden and enjoying my visit. Like you, I intend on laboring in the studio, in the house and will, maybe, muck the barn. Oh joy.
The most important thing I'll do is pray for rain.
