Labor Day


Fun fact: Wikipedia states that "Labor Day is a United States federal holiday that takes place on the first Monday in September. The holiday began in 1882, originating from a desire by the Central Labor Union to create a day off for the "working man". It is still celebrated mainly as a day of rest and marks the symbolic end of summer for many. Labor Day became a federal holiday by Act of Congress in 1894." I believe our thanks is due to the Central Labor Union for the many long weekends we've enjoyed over the past 100+ years!

Today we enjoyed a fish fry with our Duvall family friends, just relaxing and enjoying quiet conversation and a new card game. Oh, and of course we had dessert - home made coconut cream pie and chocolate cream pie, yum! Later we headed over to my parents for a visit with them and Chris & Penny, and made it home just a little while ago. All in all it was a most pleasurable and restful weekend. What did you do over your long weekend?
